Question 1 2 /^4 pts

What are two critiques, discussed in the module, regarding Freud’s psychosexual stages? Your Answer: Two Critiques discussed is that: Development does not only occur in infants and adolescents but that it is life long. When it comes to terms of aging, maturation and growth it is evident that development occurs through the whole life of the individual but Freud's psychosexual stage only mentioned development through to adolescents. Also, developmet could be contionous or discontinous but, Freud explained that development occured according to the stages he laid out and that a stage had to be completed before moving on to another stage but in the real sense not all adolescents complete or get to the final stages as Freud described.

Thoroughly answer the essay question. Essays should be written in complete sentences. Describe what you learned about infant-parent attachment in the module. The approximate length of the description should be a short paragraph, and it should include sufficient detail on what you learned. Then, describe how your current knowledge on this topic compares to what you knew before taking this module. Finally, describe your views on the following issues: a) how applicable is attachment theory to everyday life and working with infants, and b) what misconceptions about attachment do you think people have, and what is a correct understanding of how to apply this attachment theory? Your Answer: Infant - parent attachment is the close bonding relationship formed between a child and the mother or mother figure who cares for them. I also learnt that children can form attachment as a result of their temperament which explains that nature and nurture combined results in the kind of attachment that children end up forming with their care givers. The kind of bond formed by children in their early lives also show the kind of intimate bonds they would form as adults. There are different types of Infant parent attachement according to Anisworth. we have the Securely attached children, The avoidant children and the non-secured attached children. The Secured children where children who had bonded properly with their parents because they received the right responsive behaviour to their needs from their sensitive parents. They feel loved and they are easily Coorrrecctt! (^) Survey Correlational Study Experiment

soothed by their parents. In Mary Anisworths experiment, they do nor cry so much when their care giver leaves them in unfamiliar environment, they also unite properly with their care giver and continue to seek a strong bond with them. They do not relate so well around strangers but would explore their environment properly when they are around their care giver. The Avoidant attached children avoid thier parents and care giver by not keeping a eye contact, they are soothed both by the stranger and caregiver in same way. They do not really unite properly with their care giver but do so in an avoidant manner. This is practically because their needs have not been responded too in a timely manner and they have adapted to it. The Non-Secured childeren do not fuss at all when their care giver leaves them in an unfamilair situation or environment. These are usually kids that have not been responded to at all by their care givers. They are usually neglected. They are not bothered about reuniting or forming a close bond with their care givers. Children in this category are usually children who are abused or live in abused environments. I am more knowledgable about how children grow attachment to thier parents now especially in terms of the childs temprament. prior to this module I felt that parents had the total control and responsibility of how they are bonded with their kids but now I know better in terms of the childs temprament. An independent child would not be so needed and would not require so much responsiveness from the mother. Also for children who are highly sensitive. And so we cannot blame parents all the time that they are mostly insensitive to their childrens needs. A. Attachement theory is applicable to everyday life and working with infants because in my opinion, it eases the guilt that parents feel, especially working parents when they need to leave their children alone for a while, knowing that you cannot always be with your children all the time for them to be securely bonded with you or not. Knowing a childs temperament help you understand when a child is truly needy or just being fussy this goes a long way to ease the nerves of their care givers also. B. Misconception people have is that parents, that is nuturing is the only way that children get properly bonded with thier parents but this is not so. As earlier mentioned, nature and nurture play different roles when it comes to infant parent attachment. Also, parents can not stay with thier children all day long with this information there would be less guilt

Your Answer: Mordern researchers often found that young children overcome some aspects of egocentrism at younger ages than Piaget had thought because of the understanding the children had when it comes to the methods the researchers used to determine egocentrisim in the children which was simpler.

The module discussed common consequences of divorce on children. Describe two of these. Your Answer: some common consequencies of divorce on children would be: Age; For younger children, they might not undretsnd tha basis for the divorce and might end up blaming themselves for it causing them to become fussy, whine and cry unnecessarily. But for older children they exhibit external behaviors like rebellion and having problems at school or either the law or internalize their pain and becoming depressed or having a low self esteem Gender ; girls are usually less affected than boys if the grow up in a single mothers home after divorce and the boys are prone to become delinquent but, for girls, when the mother remarries, they tend to become rebellious at that point. Hence divorce playes out differently in children depending on if they are girls or boys and also depending on their age. Answers need to describe 2 of the following: change in family finances, change in where family members live, increased parental stress, increase in family conflict, change in parenting styles.

Describe in detail the two courses of juvenile delinquency. Then, describe in detail two of Garbarino’s recommendations for how to intervene in the life of an individual troubled teenage boy. Do you think these recommendations are likely to work? Why or why not? Your Answer: Two causes of juvenile delinquency are, Adolesence Limited and Life Course Persistent. Adolescence Limited is a point in the teenagers life where he acts irrational and puts up behaviours that seem like he has the tendency to commit crime in the future but as time goes on he begins to behave in a right way. Life-Course Limited in this type of delinquency, the teeneger acts irrationally and has an agressive nature and usually has a problem with the law that is repeated even in the long term of his life. They do not usually straighten out and this could be due to the environment or nuturing that they might have had. Gabriano's recommendations for how to intervene in the life of an individual troubled teenage boy are letting them have mentors that they can trust, joining a group like sport groups that could help lift their self esteem, teaching them empathy, teaching them spirituality and shielding them from inappropriate media especially at that young age. Teaching them Empathy: Teaching teenage boys on how to put themselves in others shoes helps the behave properly in the long run. They are thought to get intouch with their inner selves and feelings and not try to put on a so called "manly act" proving to be strong by acting violent and agressive without caring about other peoples emotions. Shielding Teenage Boys fro Violent Media: both from the television and devices and even in the home. This will help shape their minds about what right living looks like. The eyes is the mind of the soul and whatever they are able to consume through their eyes goes a long way. I think theses recommendations are likely to work because most times young teenagers always copy whatever behavior they have modeled before them and so if they are privilegded to have the right models then they will act right. Also teaching them to be empathetic goes a long way, helps them develop emotional intellignce and do right by others. If a lot of
