Age 0-5: Select the answer that does NOT accurately describe important things a parent should keep in mind regarding a child’s moral, intellectual, social, emotional and physical development in this age group.
Question not applicable for me as my children are in a different age group.
Between 0 and 5, kids develop lots of new physical abilities, learning to control their world through words, learning to play imaginatively by themselves and then with others, while still understanding little of the difference between what is morally right and wrong.
Babies of 0-18 months learn Trust vs. Mistrust, depending on how they are disciplined. On that foundation of trust, they build a sense of hope. To develop this, they need very strict parents who don’t spoil them with a lot of touch, smiling, picking up, and attention.
From 18 months to 3 years old, they learn Autonomy in order to develop strong willpower and internal motivation. Parents help foster this by letting them do many easy tasks for themselves without giving them too many choices, and giving them reasonable boundaries with consequences, so they can to learn compliance.
From 3 to 5, they develop Initiative vs. Guilt, and to do this they need opportunities to experiment and explore their world actively, without being harshly disciplined when they make a mess.
Age 6-11. Which of these descriptions would best fit the developmental goals and milestones for the tween years??
Question not applicable for me as my children are in a different age group.
This phase is sometimes called the Dependence vs. Independence Phase. At this age it is the most important that they develop the ability to do anything alone and without the parent’s help – from making simple snacks to doing homework by themselves. It is more important that they do solo activities than team activities, so that they can’t compare themselves with other kids and perhaps feel inferior if someone has a talent they don’t have. They have to develop their own personality without too much influence from peers and parents should avoid pampering them by focusing on emotions. By now, they should have their emotions under control at all times.
This phase is sometimes called Industry vs. Inferiority because they are starting to figure out how competent they are compared to their peers. They have a unique tempo to learn reading and writing skills, their individual gifts start surfacing and talents emerge, they grow many new emotional and social skills, are able to calm themselves down in most situations and express emotions in words, learning basic collaboration and healthy competition, discern fantasy from reality, become able to tell the truth even when they get into trouble for it and start to postpone gratification (such as doing homework before playing) and do a few tasks independently without being reminded, especially their self-care and routine chores at home.
This phase is sometimes called Structured vs. Unstructured because they need a lot of free play and free time. They are still too young to have chores and homework and should mostly be allowed to play and develop their imagination and make their own rules. Competition harms them at this age, and so does reading and writing. They develop a will at this age, and should be able to do that without any force or expectations from adults. They are very emotional at this age and need their parents nearby to help calm them when they are upset.
