Influences on Childhood Development. Childhood development has always been such a key stage of the developmental process, and it is important to note the degree to which we change from a physical, emotional, social, and cognitive perspective throughout this time period. For this assignment, please address each of the questions in the outline below. 1) Identify and discuss at least two key changes in childhood development from each of the following categories: § Physical Changes § Emotional/Personality Changes § Cognitive Changes § Social Changes 2) Describe in a non-biased and sensitive manner how each of the above referenced changes are influenced by varying family structures and parenting styles. Pages 264-270 of your textbook outlines ‘The Family in a Changing Society”. Discuss how the seemingly unconventional family structures (i.e., working parents, divorced families, homosexual parents, and ethnic minority and/or immigrant families) either positively or negatively impact childhood development. 3) Review the multi-media video for this week: Understanding America’s Children, and reflect on the current status of the health and development of our children. In which areas are we succeeding, and in what areas is there room for significant improvement? 4) Based upon information in the previous sections, discuss ways that we can nurture the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development of our children. Be sure to identify at least 3 strategies in your response. Your assignment should be 3-4 pages in length, and should include a minimum of three references.
