Question
Describe which resources need to be available to plan these physical experiences for children 0-8 years. (You are strongly encouraged to give practical examples from your own professional experience.)
Financial resources and time are two critical components of providing quality physical education to students, resources that are often sorely lacking in schools today, as PE gets shifted to the back burner of school resources. If physical education is not required, or if study time and preparation for standardized tests, for example, or even field trips or school assemblies are 'substituted in' for physical education time, this communicates that PE is not a class to be taken seriously, and children will take notice of this fact. If children's nonattendance or lack of participation is not reflected in their grade, and parents demand an 'A' despite a lackadaisical attitude on the part of the student, this will also impact the quality of education, as it is not likely such an attitude would be tolerated in other academic classes.
Having PE classes engage in joint participation efforts with health classes, science classes, and even social studies and English classes can incorporate physical education into the core curriculum and show that movement is...
For example, students can apply their knowledge of nutrition and anatomy from health and science classes to tracking their improvements in physical conditioning, can engage in folk dancing and games that they learn about from other nations in social studies, or engage in role-playing or themed activities and games they learn about in stories from literature. This approach will increase the perception of physical education as an important and serious part of the school curriculum, and enable students to feel better about themselves and more focused when they do enter a conventional classroom, after their bodies and minds have been stretched and strengthened.

Developmental Psychology Erickson's stages of psychological development as cited in Crain (2011) have garnered much scholarly discourse as they outline the many phases individuals go through as they mature from birth to old age. In Erickson's view, there are eight stages to development and his theory maintains that a person moves through these stages as a part of negotiating between the sociocultural and biological forces every individual must contend with (Allen
Developmental milestones are important for comparison and to make sure that a child is growing at what is considered the normal pace. For this we will take a look at some important milestones from birth to 3 years. These developmental milestones are considered a rough account of how a child should develop. Some children will demonstrate all of these while others will master some skills and may lag behind in
, 2002). It is now widely believed that vulnerability to bad behavior is conditional and depends on genetic susceptibility (Kendler, 2001; Rutter & Silberg 2001; in Caspi et al., 2002). This theory was tested by Caspi et al. (2001) when they attempted to predict antisocial behavior among more than 1000 male maltreated children by genotyping their polymorphism at the MAOA gene. Their findings provided epidemiological evidence that high MAOA expression moderates
Developmental Psychology If a parent approaches child rearing with the idea of Nativism in their mind, they might not bother to expose their children to many things early on. That is because Nativists believe a child is already hardwired with abilities, so, if the child ends up being good at music, it is because the child was born good at music, not because the child was exposed to music as a
Lincoln believed that African-Americans were vested with the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This position cost him the election. It must be noted that Lincoln was undoubtedly not the only person at that time to be opposed to slavery. However, in political circles, the debate was often over property rights and popular sovereignty, rather than any discussion of morality. Recall Maslow's belief that self-actualized people have
Development psychologists love to quote this stage among their discussion of adolescent growth. This is perhaps the most appropriate theory to apply when it comes to explaining about the impulsive behavior of adolescents. (Chapman, 2006) COGNITIVE THEORY by Jean Piaget Piaget's cognitive theory discusses how a child thinks or how her mind works from birth to adulthood. She believes that development of the child is not a smooth task, but rather,
