Developmental Assessment and the Five-Year-Old Child
At the age of 5 years old, a normally developing child will have attained a certain degree of autonomy and independence. This includes the ability to skip, jump, and hop with good balance, the ability to balance on one foot, to show skill in using writing utensils and simple tools, and generally exhibiting better coordination than a child younger than school age (Developmental milestones record - 5 years, 2022). A good measure of normal-level ability is the ability to copy a triangle on paper and using a knife to spread soft foods, even if cutting food may still require assistance (Developmental milestones record - 5 years, 2022). Children of this age average a rate of weight gain of 4-5 pounds a year, growth rates of 2-3 inches of height, 20/20 vision, and show the signs of first adult teeth (Developmental milestones record - 5 years, 2022).
In the case of A, the school-aged child under evaluation, the child had exhibited normal physical and social development for the most part, although A was described as slightly smaller than expected of a child his age, and only would engage in self-care like dressing himself or preparing his own food if prompted and supervised. This may be partially due to greater emotional dependence on his parents. A was an only child and for a significant period of his early upbringing, both of his parents were working from...…& Lewis, 2022). In contrast to Freud, Erikson focused upon the childs social rather than sexual developmental milestones in striving to attain autonomy and maturity, stressing that if the child was not able to resolve the conflict of a particular stage, he would have trouble moving forward into the next necessary stage.
With this in mind, encouraging the parents to allow A to take more responsibility for himself when preparing to enter school would be helpful. Also, spending more time with children his own age, rather than adults, would enable him to measure his own behaviors and seek to mimic his peers, rather than be intimidated by the gap between himself as a child and more capable adults. The parents must be on board with…

Psychosocial development theory was developed by Erikson and it is the best theory in psychology. He believed that personality progresses are a continuous series of stages. His theory also believes in the influence of social experience across the lifetime. Ego identity is one of Erikson's main elements in psychosocial theory. This is the self-conscious that we develop through the daily social interaction. Everyday's experiences and information in life cause major
" (Harder 2002) This stage depends on the ability to help others and care for others in order to find strength, as one's family is usually grown and new goals must be developed. This ability Erikson calls "generativity." Success during this stage means not feeling inactivity and meaninglessness. (Myers. Stages) The article discusses the father's success at generativity, or ability to find meaning in life and the ability to transmit values
Introduction Psychosocial development is a term coined by psychologist Erik Erikson to describe how individuals develop socially and emotionally throughout their lives. This theory posits that individuals go through a series of stages, each marked by a specific conflict or challenge that must be resolved in order to progress successfully to the next stage. According to Erikson, there are eight stages of psychosocial development that individuals go through from infancy to
Biopsychosocial Case Formulation (BCF) PerspectiveThe BCF perspective considers the 4 P�s of biological, psychological, and social factors: predisposing factors, precipitating factors, perpetuating factors, and protective factors. Predisposing factors indicate vulnerabilities that could represent risk variables in the patient�s presenting issue, such as temperament, attachment style, family history of psychological disorder or prenatal exposure to substance abuse, immigration history, or access to health care. Precipitating factors are typically stressors that precipitate
Child Psychological Development Child Developmental Observation, Interview & Report Individual capacities are generalized abilities or skills necessary to achieve desired outcomes. According to Antonovsky (1996) what all capacities have in common, is that they foster repeated life experiences that help one to see the world as making sense, cognitively, instrumentally, and emotionally. These experiences motivate people to address challenges (meaningfulness), enhance their ability to understand current and future challenges and support the
How will my career and life goals fit in with the life of another person, whether a loved one, a close friend, or even my family? "Erikson describes intimacy as finding oneself yet losing oneself in another," in friendships and in love relationships ("Erik Erikson and psychosocial development," E-ssortment, 2007). Finding the right balance of intimacy and isolation from others, meeting my own goals but still caring about the
