What are the different childhood development theories?

The field of psychology began to pay attention to the development of childhood in the 20th century and psychoanalytic theory of childhood development that children are going through stages to develop, while cognitive theories claim that children are active students. Behavioral theories suggest that the environment can affect the development of the child. The theory of social child development focuses on the role of society in the development of children. Both psychologists felt that children were going through stages that can affect their lives as adults. Freud believed that the phases are a psychosexual phase called genitality, latency, false, anal and oral phases during which the child would have to meet the desire to move on stage and continue to develop, with serious consequences in adulthood, unless the phase has been completed. Erikson believed that during the life of a person, different phases took place, not only in childhood, D that the conflicts had to be overcome in order to complete the stage. If a child could not overcome a conflict like the development of his own identity, then the child would suffer fromMore in life, they don't know who it is. This theory says that children think very differently than adults and undergo different stages of cognitive development as they age. Piaget believed that children are active students who need adults to provide the right environment in which they can learn. This theory formed many school and pre -school curriculum.

behavioral theory of childhood development does not take into account how the child feels or thinks. These theories, developed by John B. Watson, B.F. Skinner and Ivan Pavlov, focus only on behavior that can only be observed. This theory says that the development of the child depends on strengthening, punishments, rewards and suggestions that they experience and that these experiences are what forms children to adults they become.

Lev Vygotsky, Albert Bandura and John Bowlby have developed social theory of childhood development. Vygotsky developed a socio -cultural theory and felt that children had learned pRactic activities and that adults as parents and teachers as the whole company-were responsible for the way the child evolved. Bandura created the theory of social learning and believed that children were learning new things by watching people around them and paying attention to inner feelings like pride. Bowlby believed that relationships that children develop with primary carers, soon after birth influence on the development of the child and his relationships throughout his life. The theory of Bowlby is popular with those who practice parenting.
