Problem:
This is another response: Children with low birth weight are at increased risk for cognitive delays, which can be understood through both Piaget's and Erikson's theoretical frameworks. Within Piaget's theory, low birth weight may manifest as slower progression through cognitive stages, particularly in early childhood. For example, children may demonstrate delays in sensorimotor exploration or later show difficulties with symbolic thinking during the preoperational stage, reflecting challenges in attention, memory, and problem-solving (Kail & Cavanaugh, 2022). From Erikson's psychosocial perspective, these cognitive challenges can affect stage resolution. In early stages such as trust versus mistrust or autonomy versus shame and doubt, repeated developmental struggles or increased caregiver stress may contribute to feelings of insecurity or reduced autonomy. If supports are insufficient, these experiences may represent atypical or maladaptive personality development. Understanding these frameworks helps counselors tailor early interventions that address both cognitive and emotional needs (Kail & Cavanaugh, 2022)Respond to this response saying what was good, adding info but not repeating anything already said.
