Think Like a Psychologist Original Post

Defining a problem:

In your original post, you will identify a current developmental challenge or problem that an individual would experience in middle childhood or adolescence. Once you have identified the problem, you will discuss how an individual's physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional development would be impacted by the specific problem or developmental challenge you identified.

Your original post should use the textbook AND one peer reviewed journal article to support your discussion of your identified problem or developmental challenge.

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. Explain how your recommendations would impact development according to your theory. 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.
