My Autobiography I was born Chane’l Dominique Leverette on Friday September 4, 1992 in Pontiac, MI at 6:03 in the morning. My parents are Angela Evangelista, a Caucasian female, and Gregory Leverette, an African American male. I guess that I was already predicted to be a difficult baby since my mom was in labor with me for seventy-two hours! I came out so precious and loving weighing seven pounds and four ounces and nineteen inches long. Between the age of one and six months I was learning who my family was and slightly making goo-goo and gaga sounds. My mom said that I was so spoiled and I would always cry whenever things didn’t go my way. My grandmother always told me that she should’ve never held me over the stove when she was cooking because it made me want to eat too much. I was a good baby most of the time, never really cried too much. When I was around nine months I learned how to walk and talk. Boy did I start to get into everything I could get my hands on. When I was almost one year old I decided to get into my mother’s things and took one of her razors. I

Chane’l Dominique Leverette. I walked across the stage with a big smile on my face hoping that I wouldn’t fall going down the walkway. As I walked down my mom and my granddaddy were waiting at the end to take a picture. Graduation went really good, all my family and friends were there to support me and this was one of the most important days in my life. After graduation me and other students from my school went to project graduation. Project graduation was when we went to the recreational center in Lapeer from ten ‘til four in the morning. We could play basketball, volleyball, or tennis. We got to eat pizza and get hypnotized. We could also go swimming and do tricks off the diving board. Four o’clock in the morning came and we all went out to breakfast at The Farmhouse

They then begin to turn their heads in the direction of sounds and use their eyes to follow others.As babies develop they enjoy attention and learn to make noises other than crying and will start to laugh.

    This narrative essay covers the 3 new elements of evidence which have been found through research about the early psychological development of young children. First, the things the child already knows from the point they are born. Secondly, the rapid ability a child has to learn. Thirdly, the role a parent has in the psychological development of the child. Allison discusses that a newborn is capable of imitating another as “early as being 42 minutes old” (Gopnik 238), and by the time the child is nine months old, they are able to detect emotion. While younger children like to observe, two year-olds will begin to explore, and the more something is forbidden from a child the more they will want it. By the time children are 36 months old, they start to learn very quickly through observing the behavior and reactions their parents have to certain objects and alter their own views based on the views of the…

    At this stage baby’s cry to communicate their needs, they solely depend upon their parents carers for their needs to be met. Babies will smile at faces they recognise of trusted carers/ parents, but show reservations of unknown adults: by around 6 months old. At this age they respond to games of peek-a-boo, and reach out for familiar faces and wish to be picked up/ held etc and communicate with mum and dad through babbling. By 1 year a child will be able to distinguish varying members within its family and act socially with them. At this stage a child will know its own name, obey simple instructions. By 18-months- 2 years a child’s social & emotional development has come a long way, they will show empathy to an upset/ sibling/ family member and try to console them. They will show frustration or have tantrums if their needs are not met, but on the other side of the coin are capable of being loving and responsive. By 3 years old a child will have gained a certain amount of physical and emotional control, they will feel secure when left away from main carer, they are able to interpret situations and behave accordingly. They have the ability to now share and take turns, and use language to express themselves rather than communication through tantrums and physical outbursts.…

    At 0-12 months, a child’s social development includes making sounds to communicate whether crying or babbling and responding positively to family members and familiar people. Communication development follows a similar path. A child will recognise familiar voices, respond with smiles and start to imitate others. Physical development is rapid. A child will develop control of their head, learn to grasp objects, later use a pincer grasp and start to gain control of their body to enable them to sit unaided and eventually crawl. Young people of this age range are very egocentric. They begin to process information through images and commence to become aware of object permanence. Emotionally, a child at this age has a very strong bond with its parents, particularly the mother. They require reassurance and security and become upset when others are angry.…
