Question 1

What is the importance of peers in middle childhood and adolescence? Why do you think children/teenagers shift from trusting adults to peers during these developmental stages? Support your assumptions or experiences about this issue with research? What effect does interaction with peers have on an individual’s cognitive, behavioral, social and emotional development?

Question 2

Both Kohlberg and Piaget focused on the moral development of the child. Select Kohlberg or Piaget for one of the examples below, and another (not Kohlberg or Piaget) developmental theorist of your choice for the other example below and explain:

 

a) why a 10-year-old child might steal from a store?

 

b) why a teenager would choose to harm or even kill another person(s)?

 

Which theory is more convincing to you? Why? How should a parent react to these behaviors? Justify your response with research.
