Socio-Emotional Development

Compare the major developmental theories you have become familiar with from readings and content from Lesson 9. Compose thoughtful answers to the following “developmental difficulties.” Explain how you would use your understanding of one of the major theories (focusing particularly on Piaget and Erikson) to deal with each of the difficulties listed below more constructively.

A well-intentioned, but meddling, relative comes to visit the weekend before your child’s first birthday, in April. She cautions you that you must be spoiling the child, because he hides behind your leg and clings to you when she tries to give him a hug, and he did not do this when she visited at New Year’s. How will you explain what is happening with your child?
Your three-year-old constantly drives you nuts with attention-seeking behaviors while you are on the phone.
Your infant daughter puts everything in her mouth, including the dog’s food.
Your eight-year-old son is failing math; all he cares about is baseball.
Your eight-year-old son is failing P.E. and growing obese; all he cares about is Nintendo.
Your teenager has decided not to attend college in favor of joining the stage crew for a touring rock band.
Your nine-year-old son is being victimized by the class bully.
Your nine-year-old son IS the class bully. (NOTE: Pay close attention to the difference between the scenarios described in Questions 7 and 8.)
Your two-year-old daughter refuses to wear the clothes you pick for her every morning, making getting dressed a twenty-minute pitched battle.
Your thirty-six-year-old friend is showing symptoms of the classic “mid-life crisis,” buying a trendy new sports car, flirting dangerously, and alluding to leaving his wife.
Your sixty-eight-year-old neighbor is chronically depressed, feeling she has wasted her life.
Take your time and carefully integrate the concepts as presented in your text with the issues at hand in each vignette. Your responses should NOT be in the form of an integrated essay; rather, you should concentrate on each vignette (listed above) separately, with the goal of applying these developmental concepts to assist you in facing these real-life situations. One or two paragraphs per vignette will probably suffice but use your discretion to ensure each vignette if fully addressed in your response.  Some responses may be longer than others.

Prepare your responses in a single Word document, labeling each response carefully,
