Humans go through major developmental phases from birth to adulthood. These developmental stages are seen socially, cognitively, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Some of these changes are obvious to the eye and some are not so obvious. Using five open-ended questions to analyze the social and emotional development of four children. This paper looks at the core age groups that effect teaching, preschool to high school. Beginning with a five year old who is in preschool findings show that the child fights right in the stages of development for a child of their age. According to Slavin (2012), “most preschooler’s interactions with peers occur during play.” This was very important to this child when speaking of his friends” (p.62). According to Piaget’s theory as stated by Slavin (2012) “rules are seen as inflexible” (p.57) this is clearly stated by the …show more content…
As stated by Slavin (2012) “According to Piaget, children progress from the stage of heteronomous morality to that of autonomous morality with the development of cognitive structures but also because of interactions with equal-status peers (p. 52).” The middle school child clearly is taking what is friends tell him and show him into priority as he states “They (friends) give me new things to do and try out.” One can see his family is still important but peers are having an increasing influence on what his interests. When analyzing the middle school students moral reasoning in question two in the appendix one can see he still values the law as shown in Kohlberg’s stage four, but is starting to move to stage five as he reasons about lying. Kohlberg’s theory as shown in Table 3.3 on page 59 of Slavin’s Educational Psychology, “laws are not ‘frozen’-they can be changed or the good of society.” A typical middle school student has a growing importance of peers as we see
