Evaluating The Different Stages of Child Development There are many stages of child development that occur with each child in order to reach adulthood. A child will go through the beginning stages of child development immediately as they work hard to recognize their parents, learn to roll over, hold their head up and eventually crawl, pull up, sit up, and walk.
It's important to understand the many stages of development of the child in order to recognize advancements, disabilities, conditions, and diseases as well as to measure personal and physical growth too.
There are many theories of the stages of development of the child. They include Sigmund Freud who believed that child development was based on sexuality. In conclusion this theory creates the thought that if a child doesn't meet and complete each stage of sexuality, it could influence their behaviors and personalities they take on as adults.
The next theory of the stages of child development is by Erik Erikson who believed that each stage of child development is based on overcoming a conflict. It is determined by a child's success or failure to develop accordingly.
Social theories such as those developed by John Bowlby believe that the stages of child development is affected by the relationship that a child has with their caregivers, including parents, teachers, and others.
