Select one developmental stage, such as infancy-ages birth to 2; early childhood-ages 2 to 6; middle childhood-ages 6 to 11; or adolescence-ages 11 to 18.
Explain the physical, social, and cognitive changes that occur during that stage of development.
Discuss at least one theory that fits best with the stage of development you have selected. Describe the theory and explain how it appropriately fits with your selected developmental stage.
Discuss the impact that cultural factors (e.g., race, religion or ethnicity) could have on your selected stage of development.
For example, you might select the stage of infancy, and then describe the physical, social and cognitive changes that are part of infant development. Then select one theory, for example Erikson's Psychosocial Stages of Development, and explain what this theory says about infancy. Finally, you could discuss how culture may affect parenting styles. This is just an example and you are certainly not limited to this idea.
