  1. Objective: Describe Child Development

  2. Directions for Extension Group • Work quietly with your partners to read and understand this power point. Below certain slides are ten questions. Copy and answer the questions. • Good Luck!

  3. Directions for Extension Group Work quietly with your partners to read and understand the power point, Factors that Influence Growth and Development. Below certain slides are ten questions. Copy and answer the questions. List ten examples of important environment factors that can affect children. What is the poverty level income for a family of 3 that has 1 child? See www.census.gov/hhes/poverty/threshld/thresh03.html for the answer. Describe the most important fact from the website, (http://www.childtrends.org/_pressrelease_page.cfm?LID=AB8E4412-2165-4AF4-95383DA81AFE4D18) List several heredity reasons and several environment reasons for the differences between Sasha and Benji Complete the phrases: Tall 2 yr olds tend to be… Good elementary students tend to be … Happy children tend to be … How does poverty affect this principle of development (Growth and Development are Gradual and Continuous)? Create another example of interrelated development like this one. As children’s bodies grow and mature, their motor skills improve, which helps their social skills, which helps them communicate and learn new ideas, which helps their thinking skills, which helps them play more complex games, which helps their motor skills. List 5 of the tasks that adolescents need to master, according to Havighurst? Refer to the doc on this wiki page, Developmental Tasks According to Robert Havighurst or http://faculty.mdc.edu/jmcnair/EDF3214%20Topic%20Outline/Robert%20Havighurst.htm Why would Maslow say someone would join a gang, even if they push you to break the law? Find info on a female child development researcher and cite the web address.

  4. Factors That Influence Growth and Development (We are raising ADULTS)

  5. What is Child Development? • Pg 21 in text • Development is the process that • Turns babies into adults • Has stages • Begins at conception • Ends at death • Child Development is • The scientific study of children from conception to adolescence

  6. What Are the Factors that Influence the Growth and Development of Children? • Heredity • Genes • Hair color and other body features

  7. What Are the Factors that Influence the Growth and Development of Children? • Environment • Conditions • Experiences • In the early years this is primarily the family.

  8. What is Environment? 1. List ten examples of important environment factors that can affect children.

  9. Effects of Poverty • What does a child need in his or her environment to develop well? What does it cost? • What is the poverty level income for a family of 3 that has 1 child? See www.census.gov/hhes/poverty/threshld/thresh03.html for the answer. • Describe the most important fact from this website: • http://www.childtrends.org/_pressrelease_page.cfm?LID=AB8E4412-2165-4AF4-95383DA81AFE4D18

  10. What Are the Factors that Influence the Growth and Development of Children? • Heredity and Environment COMBINED! • Your height is influenced by your diet (environment) and your genes (heredity)

  11. Sasha and Benji • Sasha, age four, and Benji, age two, are brother and sister. Sasha has black hair, dark skin, and deep brown eyes. She is quiet and dependable, talking only when necessary. When her parents leave her at the child care center, she is content to play quietly. She prefers to play alone, with dolls or puzzles, but often watches the other children. Benji has brown hair, fair skin, and light brown eyes. He prefers playing with tractors, trucks, and blocks with other children. He is talkative and becomes bored when he plays alone. List some reasons for the differences in these children. 4. List several heredity reasons and several environment reasons for their differences.

  12. Our Responsibility – To provide the best environment we can.

  13. Principles of Growth and Development • Growth and Development are Constant • Constancy - the unchanging aspects of a person’s development • Tall 2 yr olds tend to be… • Good elementary students tend to be … • Happy children tend to be … • Heredity does not change and environments tend to remain constant 5. Complete the phrases above.

  14. Principles of Growth and Development • Growth and Development are Gradual and Continuous • Because changes happen in small steps. • Good development does not reverse overnight • Some development can be made up for in later years • Poor growth and development is not easily reversed 6. How does poverty affect this principle of development?

  15. Principles of Growth and Development • Growth and Development happen in sequenced steps • The order is predictable, the rate of change is individual • A teachable moment is the time when the child is physically ready, when the environment supports the achievement and when the child is motivated to learn

  16. Principles of Growth and Development • Growth and Development have interrelated parts. • We may talk about the areas separately, but in reality they are related. • For instance, as children’s bodies grow and mature, their motor skills improve, which helps their social skills, which helps them communicate and learn new ideas, which helps their thinking skills, which helps them play more complex games, which helps their motor skills. 7. Create another example of interrelated development like the one above.

  17. Says Who ???

  18. Robert Havighurst • The Developmental Stages according to Robert Havighurst • Certain tasks need to be mastered at certain times and are driven by physical growth, social pressures, and inner pressures. 8. List 5 of the tasks that adolescents need to master, according to Havighurst? See document posted on wiki.

  19. Abraham Maslow 9. Why would Maslow say someone would join a gang, even if they push you to break the law?

  20. Who will be the next famous researcher? • Good research should have an objective • You must have permission • Mind your manners • Don’t distract the child • Be objective. Deal with biases • Record accurately • Protect the rights of the child and family 10. Find the info on a female child development researcher and cite the web address.
