Child development is a developmental science that focuses on various
aspects of how children learn, grow and adapt to their environment. “a
field of study that focuses on the range of children’s physical,
intellectual, social, and emotional development.” (Lightfoot, 2018)
Child development is important to study because it helps us
understand the biological and cultural process that make us who we
are and why we are that way. It is also important to study because it
can give us important insight on how to care for our children’s mental
health, and development since they are unable to care for themselves.
There many different stages of development so it is important for
parents and people who work with children to know where they
should be developmentally and how they can help with milestones.
“Just as scaffolding is put up to support the structure of the building as
it is being built and gradually taken down as the building is able to
stand on its own, a parents will need to provide the necessary support
for a child to allow them to safely and productively explore and learn
from their environment.” (Child Development Institute, 2023)
The child development theory I believe gives the most interesting
perspective is by Erik Erikson. Erikson;s psychosocial development
theory focuses on social interaction and how we change through life
and different stages of development. Sigmund Freud influenced much
of Erikson’s work but he went on to develop his theory with
eightstages of psychosocial development. While Freud focused on
sexual interest through the different stages of development, Erikson
believed social interaction and experiences played a bigger role in
development than was thought before. Something unique about this
psychosocial theory is that it spans across a lifetime instead of just
focusing on the development of children to a certain age. It recognizes
the differences adults continue to face while going through life.
(Cherry, 2022.) There are many things that can alter our behavior and
beliefs even as adults that come from our environment and
experiences. This is the most interesting to me because I relate to it
through my own life. Significant events have happened since I have
been an adult that have altered my perspective permanently. For
example, having a child of my own made me feel differently about
things I did not notice or care about before. And I did not think about
my own childhood and development until I started learning about
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
different theories. These theories have helped me gain an
understanding on how I wish to raise my child and how I can help him
thrive instead of facing the difficulties I am facing in my adulthood.
Child development is so important because we should do the best we
can to raise our children to be as happy and healthy as possible, and
the things that some see as little or insignificant actually have a big
effect on children. Erikson’s psychosocial development theory also
makes the most sense to me because I can actively recognize the
stages my son has already been through, and I also have an idea on
what to look for in the future to know he is moving into the next stage.
This theory conveys the idea that at the end of each stage in a persons
development, they experience a significant problem that needs to be
faced that leads them to the turning point into the next stage. (Cherry,
2022.) As I think about my own life and experiences I can vividly
recall the events that took place that lead me to change my perspective
and behaviors that have shaped me into the adult in the stage of life
that I am in now. I hope to use this knowledge and more to come to
help my child and future children thrive in their development so they
can have this understanding at an early age and use it to their
advantage in their futures.

help my child and future children thrive in their development so they
can have this understanding at an early age and use it to their
advantage in their futures.
The child development theory I believe gives the most interesting
perspective is by Erik Erikson. Erikson;s psychosocial development
theory focuses on social interaction and how we change through life
and different stages of development. Sigmund Freud influenced much
of Erikson’s work but he went on to develop his theory with
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
eightstages of psychosocial development. While Freud focused on
sexual interest through the different stages of development, Erikson
believed social interaction and experiences played a bigger role in
development than was thought before. Something unique about this
psychosocial theory is that it spans across a lifetime instead of just
focusing on the development of children to a certain age. It recognizes
the differences adults continue to face while going through life.
(Cherry, 2022.) There are many things that can alter our behavior and
beliefs even as adults that come from our environment and
experiences. This is the most interesting to me because I relate to it
through my own life. Significant events have happened since I have
been an adult that have altered my perspective permanently. For
example, having a child of my own made me feel differently about
things I did not notice or care about before. And I did not think about
my own childhood and development until I started learning about
different theories. These theories have helped me gain an
understanding on how I wish to raise my child and how I can help him
thrive instead of facing the difficulties I am facing in my adulthood.
Child development is so important because we should do the best we
can to raise our children to be as happy and healthy as possible, and
the things that some see as little or insignificant actually have a big
effect on children. Erikson’s psychosocial development theory also
makes the most sense to me because I can actively recognize the
stages my son has already been through, and I also have an idea on
what to look for in the future to know he is moving into the next stage.
This theory conveys the idea that at the end of each stage in a persons
development, they experience a significant problem that needs to be
faced that leads them to the turning point into the next stage. (Cherry,
2022.) As I think about my own life and experiences I can vividly
recall the events that took place that lead me to change my perspective
and behaviors that have shaped me into the adult in the stage of life
that I am in now. I hope to use this knowledge and more to come to
help my child and future children thrive in their development so they
can have this understanding at an early age and use it to their

experiences. This is the most interesting to me because I relate to it
through my own life. Significant events have happened since I have
been an adult that have altered my perspective permanently. For
example, having a child of my own made me feel differently about
things I did not notice or care about before. And I did not think about
my own childhood and development until I started learning about
different theories. These theories have helped me gain an
understanding on how I wish to raise my child and how I can help him
thrive instead of facing the difficulties I am facing in my adulthood.
Child development is so important because we should do the best we
can to raise our children to be as happy and healthy as possible, and
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
the things that some see as little or insignificant actually have a big
effect on children. Erikson’s psychosocial development theory also
makes the most sense to me because I can actively recognize the
stages my son has already been through, and I also have an idea on
what to look for in the future to know he is moving into the next stage.
This theory conveys the idea that at the end of each stage in a persons
development, they experience a significant problem that needs to be
faced that leads them to the turning point into the next stage. (Cherry,
2022.) As I think about my own life and experiences I can vividly
recall the events that took place that lead me to change my perspective
and behaviors that have shaped me into the adult in the stage of life
that I am in now. I hope to use this knowledge and more to come to
help my child and future children thrive in their development so they
can have this understanding at an early age and use it to their
advantage in their futures.
The child development theory I believe gives the most interesting
perspective is by Erik Erikson. Erikson;s psychosocial development
theory focuses on social interaction and how we change through life
and different stages of development. Sigmund Freud influenced much
of Erikson’s work but he went on to develop his theory with
eightstages of psychosocial development. While Freud focused on
sexual interest through the different stages of development, Erikson
believed social interaction and experiences played a bigger role in
development than was thought before. Something unique about this
psychosocial theory is that it spans across a lifetime instead of just
focusing on the development of children to a certain age. It recognizes
the differences adults continue to face while going through life.

This theory conveys the idea that at the end of each stage in a persons
development, they experience a significant problem that needs to be
faced that leads them to the turning point into the next stage. (Cherry,
2022.) As I think about my own life and experiences I can vividly
recall the events that took place that lead me to change my perspective
and behaviors that have shaped me into the adult in the stage of life
that I am in now. I hope to use this knowledge and more to come to
help my child and future children thrive in their development so they
can have this understanding at an early age and use it to their
advantage in their futures.
The child development theory I believe gives the most interesting
perspective is by Erik Erikson. Erikson;s psychosocial development
theory focuses on social interaction and how we change through life
and different stages of development. Sigmund Freud influenced much
of Erikson’s work but he went on to develop his theory with
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
eightstages of psychosocial development. While Freud focused on
sexual interest through the different stages of development, Erikson
believed social interaction and experiences played a bigger role in
development than was thought before. Something unique about this
psychosocial theory is that it spans across a lifetime instead of just
focusing on the development of children to a certain age. It recognizes
the differences adults continue to face while going through life.
(Cherry, 2022.) There are many things that can alter our behavior and
beliefs even as adults that come from our environment and
experiences. This is the most interesting to me because I relate to it
through my own life. Significant events have happened since I have
been an adult that have altered my perspective permanently. For
example, having a child of my own made me feel differently about
things I did not notice or care about before. And I did not think about
my own childhood and development until I started learning about
different theories. These theories have helped me gain an
understanding on how I wish to raise my child and how I can help him
thrive instead of facing the difficulties I am facing in my adulthood.
Child development is so important because we should do the best we
can to raise our children to be as happy and healthy as possible, and
the things that some see as little or insignificant actually have a big
effect on children. Erikson’s psychosocial development theory also
makes the most sense to me because I can actively recognize the
stages my son has already been through, and I also have an idea on
what to look for in the future to know he is moving into the next stage.

sexual interest through the different stages of development, Erikson
believed social interaction and experiences played a bigger role in
development than was thought before. Something unique about this
psychosocial theory is that it spans across a lifetime instead of just
focusing on the development of children to a certain age. It recognizes
the differences adults continue to face while going through life.
(Cherry, 2022.) There are many things that can alter our behavior and
beliefs even as adults that come from our environment and
experiences. This is the most interesting to me because I relate to it
through my own life. Significant events have happened since I have
been an adult that have altered my perspective permanently. For
example, having a child of my own made me feel differently about
things I did not notice or care about before. And I did not think about
my own childhood and development until I started learning about
different theories. These theories have helped me gain an
understanding on how I wish to raise my child and how I can help him
thrive instead of facing the difficulties I am facing in my adulthood.
Child development is so important because we should do the best we
can to raise our children to be as happy and healthy as possible, and
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
the things that some see as little or insignificant actually have a big
effect on children. Erikson’s psychosocial development theory also
makes the most sense to me because I can actively recognize the
stages my son has already been through, and I also have an idea on
what to look for in the future to know he is moving into the next stage.
This theory conveys the idea that at the end of each stage in a persons
development, they experience a significant problem that needs to be
faced that leads them to the turning point into the next stage. (Cherry,
2022.) As I think about my own life and experiences I can vividly
recall the events that took place that lead me to change my perspective
and behaviors that have shaped me into the adult in the stage of life
that I am in now. I hope to use this knowledge and more to come to
help my child and future children thrive in their development so they
can have this understanding at an early age and use it to their
advantage in their futures.

Child development is so important because we should do the best we
can to raise our children to be as happy and healthy as possible, and
the things that some see as little or insignificant actually have a big
effect on children. Erikson’s psychosocial development theory also
makes the most sense to me because I can actively recognize the
stages my son has already been through, and I also have an idea on
what to look for in the future to know he is moving into the next stage.
This theory conveys the idea that at the end of each stage in a persons
development, they experience a significant problem that needs to be
faced that leads them to the turning point into the next stage. (Cherry,
2022.) As I think about my own life and experiences I can vividly
recall the events that took place that lead me to change my perspective
and behaviors that have shaped me into the adult in the stage of life
that I am in now. I hope to use this knowledge and more to come to
help my child and future children thrive in their development so they
can have this understanding at an early age and use it to their
advantage in their futures.
The child development theory I believe gives the most interesting
perspective is by Erik Erikson. Erikson;s psychosocial development
theory focuses on social interaction and how we change through life
and different stages of development. Sigmund Freud influenced much
of Erikson’s work but he went on to develop his theory with
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
eightstages of psychosocial development. While Freud focused on
sexual interest through the different stages of development, Erikson
believed social interaction and experiences played a bigger role in
development than was thought before. Something unique about this
psychosocial theory is that it spans across a lifetime instead of just
focusing on the development of children to a certain age. It recognizes
the differences adults continue to face while going through life.
(Cherry, 2022.) There are many things that can alter our behavior and
beliefs even as adults that come from our environment and
experiences. This is the most interesting to me because I relate to it
through my own life. Significant events have happened since I have
been an adult that have altered my perspective permanently. For
example, having a child of my own made me feel differently about
things I did not notice or care about before. And I did not think about
my own childhood and development until I started learning about
different theories. These theories have helped me gain an
understanding on how I wish to raise my child and how I can help him
thrive instead of facing the difficulties I am facing in my adulthood.

The child development theory I believe gives the most interesting
perspective is by Erik Erikson. Erikson;s psychosocial development
theory focuses on social interaction and how we change through life
and different stages of development. Sigmund Freud influenced much
of Erikson’s work but he went on to develop his theory with
eightstages of psychosocial development. While Freud focused on
sexual interest through the different stages of development, Erikson
believed social interaction and experiences played a bigger role in
development than was thought before. Something unique about this
psychosocial theory is that it spans across a lifetime instead of just
focusing on the development of children to a certain age. It recognizes
the differences adults continue to face while going through life.
(Cherry, 2022.) There are many things that can alter our behavior and
beliefs even as adults that come from our environment and
experiences. This is the most interesting to me because I relate to it
through my own life. Significant events have happened since I have
been an adult that have altered my perspective permanently. For
example, having a child of my own made me feel differently about
things I did not notice or care about before. And I did not think about
my own childhood and development until I started learning about
different theories. These theories have helped me gain an
understanding on how I wish to raise my child and how I can help him
thrive instead of facing the difficulties I am facing in my adulthood.
Child development is so important because we should do the best we
can to raise our children to be as happy and healthy as possible, and
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
the things that some see as little or insignificant actually have a big
effect on children. Erikson’s psychosocial development theory also
makes the most sense to me because I can actively recognize the
stages my son has already been through, and I also have an idea on
what to look for in the future to know he is moving into the next stage.
This theory conveys the idea that at the end of each stage in a persons
development, they experience a significant problem that needs to be
faced that leads them to the turning point into the next stage. (Cherry,
2022.) As I think about my own life and experiences I can vividly
recall the events that took place that lead me to change my perspective
and behaviors that have shaped me into the adult in the stage of life
that I am in now. I hope to use this knowledge and more to come to
help my child and future children thrive in their development so they

been an adult that have altered my perspective permanently. For
example, having a child of my own made me feel differently about
things I did not notice or care about before. And I did not think about
my own childhood and development until I started learning about
different theories. These theories have helped me gain an
understanding on how I wish to raise my child and how I can help him
thrive instead of facing the difficulties I am facing in my adulthood.
Child development is so important because we should do the best we
can to raise our children to be as happy and healthy as possible, and
the things that some see as little or insignificant actually have a big
effect on children. Erikson’s psychosocial development theory also
makes the most sense to me because I can actively recognize the
stages my son has already been through, and I also have an idea on
what to look for in the future to know he is moving into the next stage.
This theory conveys the idea that at the end of each stage in a persons
development, they experience a significant problem that needs to be
faced that leads them to the turning point into the next stage. (Cherry,
2022.) As I think about my own life and experiences I can vividly
recall the events that took place that lead me to change my perspective
and behaviors that have shaped me into the adult in the stage of life
that I am in now. I hope to use this knowledge and more to come to
help my child and future children thrive in their development so they
can have this understanding at an early age and use it to their
advantage in their futures.
The child development theory I believe gives the most interesting
perspective is by Erik Erikson. Erikson;s psychosocial development
theory focuses on social interaction and how we change through life
and different stages of development. Sigmund Freud influenced much
of Erikson’s work but he went on to develop his theory with
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
eightstages of psychosocial development. While Freud focused on
sexual interest through the different stages of development, Erikson
believed social interaction and experiences played a bigger role in
development than was thought before. Something unique about this
psychosocial theory is that it spans across a lifetime instead of just
focusing on the development of children to a certain age. It recognizes
the differences adults continue to face while going through life.
(Cherry, 2022.) There are many things that can alter our behavior and
beliefs even as adults that come from our environment and
experiences. This is the most interesting to me because I relate to it

faced that leads them to the turning point into the next stage. (Cherry,
2022.) As I think about my own life and experiences I can vividly
recall the events that took place that lead me to change my perspective
and behaviors that have shaped me into the adult in the stage of life
that I am in now. I hope to use this knowledge and more to come to
help my child and future children thrive in their development so they
can have this understanding at an early age and use it to their
advantage in their futures.
The child development theory I believe gives the most interesting
perspective is by Erik Erikson. Erikson;s psychosocial development
theory focuses on social interaction and how we change through life
and different stages of development. Sigmund Freud influenced much
of Erikson’s work but he went on to develop his theory with
eightstages of psychosocial development. While Freud focused on
sexual interest through the different stages of development, Erikson
believed social interaction and experiences played a bigger role in
development than was thought before. Something unique about this
psychosocial theory is that it spans across a lifetime instead of just
focusing on the development of children to a certain age. It recognizes
the differences adults continue to face while going through life.
(Cherry, 2022.) There are many things that can alter our behavior and
beliefs even as adults that come from our environment and
experiences. This is the most interesting to me because I relate to it
through my own life. Significant events have happened since I have
been an adult that have altered my perspective permanently. For
example, having a child of my own made me feel differently about
things I did not notice or care about before. And I did not think about
my own childhood and development until I started learning about
different theories. These theories have helped me gain an
understanding on how I wish to raise my child and how I can help him
thrive instead of facing the difficulties I am facing in my adulthood.
Child development is so important because we should do the best we
can to raise our children to be as happy and healthy as possible, and
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
the things that some see as little or insignificant actually have a big
effect on children. Erikson’s psychosocial development theory also
makes the most sense to me because I can actively recognize the
stages my son has already been through, and I also have an idea on
what to look for in the future to know he is moving into the next stage.

psychosocial theory is that it spans across a lifetime instead of just
focusing on the development of children to a certain age. It recognizes
the differences adults continue to face while going through life.
(Cherry, 2022.) There are many things that can alter our behavior and
beliefs even as adults that come from our environment and
experiences. This is the most interesting to me because I relate to it
through my own life. Significant events have happened since I have
been an adult that have altered my perspective permanently. For
example, having a child of my own made me feel differently about
things I did not notice or care about before. And I did not think about
my own childhood and development until I started learning about
different theories. These theories have helped me gain an
understanding on how I wish to raise my child and how I can help him
thrive instead of facing the difficulties I am facing in my adulthood.
Child development is so important because we should do the best we
can to raise our children to be as happy and healthy as possible, and
the things that some see as little or insignificant actually have a big
effect on children. Erikson’s psychosocial development theory also
makes the most sense to me because I can actively recognize the
stages my son has already been through, and I also have an idea on
what to look for in the future to know he is moving into the next stage.
This theory conveys the idea that at the end of each stage in a persons
development, they experience a significant problem that needs to be
faced that leads them to the turning point into the next stage. (Cherry,
2022.) As I think about my own life and experiences I can vividly
recall the events that took place that lead me to change my perspective
and behaviors that have shaped me into the adult in the stage of life
that I am in now. I hope to use this knowledge and more to come to
help my child and future children thrive in their development so they
can have this understanding at an early age and use it to their
advantage in their futures.
The child development theory I believe gives the most interesting
perspective is by Erik Erikson. Erikson;s psychosocial development
theory focuses on social interaction and how we change through life
and different stages of development. Sigmund Freud influenced much
of Erikson’s work but he went on to develop his theory with
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
eightstages of psychosocial development. While Freud focused on
sexual interest through the different stages of development, Erikson
believed social interaction and experiences played a bigger role in
development than was thought before. Something unique about this

effect on children. Erikson’s psychosocial development theory also
makes the most sense to me because I can actively recognize the
stages my son has already been through, and I also have an idea on
lOMoARcPSD|61746433
what to look for in the future to know he is moving into the next stage.
This theory conveys the idea that at the end of each stage in a persons
development, they experience a significant problem that needs to be
faced that leads them to the turning point into the next stage. (Cherry,
2022.) As I think about my own life and experiences I can vividly
recall the events that took place that lead me to change my perspective
and behaviors that have shaped me into the adult in the stage of life
that I am in now. I hope to use this knowledge and more to come to
help my child and future children thrive in their development so they
can have this understanding at an early age and use it to their
advantage in their futures.
The child development theory I believe gives the most interesting
perspective is by Erik Erikson. Erikson;s psychosocial development
theory focuses on social interaction and how we change through life
and different stages of development. Sigmund Freud influenced much
of Erikson’s work but he went on to develop his theory with
eightstages of psychosocial development. While Freud focused on
sexual interest through the different stages of development, Erikson
believed social interaction and experiences played a bigger role in
development than was thought before. Something unique about this
psychosocial theory is that it spans across a lifetime instead of just
focusing on the development of children to a certain age. It recognizes
the differences adults continue to face while going through life.
(Cherry, 2022.) There are many things that can alter our behavior and
beliefs even as adults that come from our environment and
experiences. This is the most interesting to me because I relate to it
through my own life. Significant events have happened since I have
been an adult that have altered my perspective permanently. For
example, having a child of my own made me feel differently about
things I did not notice or care about before. And I did not think about
my own childhood and development until I started learning about
different theories. These theories have helped me gain an
understanding on how I wish to raise my child and how I can help him
thrive instead of facing the difficulties I am facing in my adulthood.

can to raise our children to be as happy and healthy as possible, and

theory focuses on social interaction and how we change through life
and different stages of development. Sigmund Freud influenced much
of Erikson’s work but he went on to develop his theory with
eightstages of psychosocial development. While Freud focused on
sexual interest through the different stages of development, Erikson
believed social interaction and experiences played a bigger role in
development than was thought before. Something unique about this

psychosocial theory is that it spans across a lifetime instead of just
focusing on the development of children to a certain age. It recognizes
the differences adults continue to face while going through life.
(Cherry, 2022.) There are many things that can alter our behavior and
beliefs even as adults that come from our environment and
experiences. This is the most interesting to me because I relate to it
through my own life. Significant events have happened since I have
been an adult that have altered my perspective permanently. For
example, having a child of my own made me feel differently about
things I did not notice or care about before. And I did not think about
my own childhood and development until I started learning about
different theories. These theories have helped me gain an
understanding on how I wish to raise my child and how I can help him
thrive instead of facing the difficulties I am facing in my adulthood.
Child development is so important because we should do the best we
can to raise our children to be as happy and healthy as possible, and
the things that some see as little or insignificant actually have a big
effect on children. Erikson’s psychosocial development theory also
makes the most sense to me because I can actively recognize the
stages my son has already been through, and I also have an idea on
what to look for in the future to know he is moving into the next stage.
This theory conveys the idea that at the end of each stage in a persons
development, they experience a significant problem that needs to be
faced that leads them to the turning point into the next stage. (Cherry,
2022.) As I think about my own life and experiences I can vividly
recall the events that took place that lead me to change my perspective
and behaviors that have shaped me into the adult in the stage of life
that I am in now. I hope to use this knowledge and more to come to
help my child and future children thrive in their development so they
can have this understanding at an early age and use it to their
advantage in their futures.
