Brainstorming Possible Solutions

Chose a developmental theory from Chapter 1, based on the developmental needs emphasized in the theory you chose, identify three things the child's parents, teacher, or another helping professional could do to mitigate the developmental concern(s) that your peer has identified.

You should use the information in your book and/or supplemental materials to provide support for why you think that your professional recommendations would be successful at reducing the developmental concern.
