Discussion Post: Early childhood development
We are exploring early childhood with a focus on Piaget's contribution, parenting styles, and different types of play. Select one of the following key terms below and think of a scenario where you as a counselor might need to be aware of this developmental term in understanding a young child. Identify the concept and then report a hypothetical scenario and how you'd explain the idea of the concept to a parent in order to help them better understand his/her/their child. Do not repeat a term that your classmate has already selected. Some of these terms will be on your quiz.
Key terms:
Myelination, preoperational stage, egocentrism, animism, centration, conservation, the zone of proximal development, scaffolding (p.210), superego, authoritative parenting, indulgent parenting, sensorimotor play, practice play, pretense/symbolic play, social play, constructive play.
You can use the term Indulgent parenting.
You can use the book LIFE-SPAN DEVELOPMENT by Santrock. Chapter 7 and 8.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
