In summary, lesson 10 distinguishes between the three (3) domains of development (physical, cognitive, and psychosocial), the five (5) stages between prenatal and adulthood (prenatal, infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood), and the six (6) developmental theories (Freud’s psychosexual theory, Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development, Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, Kohlberg’s theory of moral development, Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, and Gilligan’s ethics of care theory).
Select two (2) of the six (6) theories and compare them in a minimum of 200 words. Be sure to explain why you selected each theory and elaborate on the similarities and differences between the theories.
Why should developmental milestones only be used as a general guideline for normal child development? In a minimum of 200 words, discuss why the developmental milestones are guidelines for normal child development. Then compare the four parenting styles from module 10.5 and describe the kind of childhoods we could expect with each. Discuss whether parenting styles have an impact on development.
