Landon Research Paper

In this paper I will be discussing all of the major milestones and complications that a little boy by the name of Landon has faced so far in his six years of life. Landon is the fourth child of five in his family. All of the information about landon came from his mom and landon, since he loves to talk! Landon is just under four feet tall and weighs 63 pounds putting Landon in the 80th percentile for height and the 95th percentile for weight. Landon is a redhead with blue eyes. Landons microsystem consists of both his mother, father, and four siblings. Landons mother is 36 and works about 32 hours a week for the Health Department as a social worker. Landons father is 37 and is self-employed and works around 35 hours a week. Landon attends a
When landon was only three months old he became very sick and ended up having pneumonia. To help treat the pneumonia Landon was given a nebulizer and other mediations. Finally the pneumonia went away but Landon was always congested and was diagnosed with having extreme allergies and also asthma, this was when he was around six months old. To treat this Landon was given a pill form of medication to help reduce the stuffiness that he was dealing with from the allergies and his mom was directed to keep using the nebulizer and she was also given two inhalers and emergency and a daily use inhaler on top of all that Landon also has a nose spray that he is given once a day. When Landon was two years old he had tubes put in his ears the tubes helped him for about a year but at the age of three the tubes were bothering him too much so the previous tubes were removed and he had new tubes put in that he has now had for the last three years. When Landon was three and had new tubes put in he also had his tonsils and adenoids removed. When he turned five he was told that he had grown out of his allergies but about two months later he was told he needed glasses. Now Landon is six and no longer needs his glasses but in March landon will be headed down for research on the possibilities of him having ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) or
I conducted Piaget’s experiment using two glasses of equal size and equal amounts of water in the glasses. After this I asked Landon if the glasses were equal, I then poured one of the glasses into a tall skinny glass and asked Landon if they had the same amount now he hesitated and appeared to be thinking about this deeply, then he answered with “that one has more” pointing to the skinny glass (Landon, personal communication, February 11, 2017). Landon is clearly still in the Preoperational Stage but I do think that he is close to making the transition into Piaget’s Concrete Operational Stage with how long and hard Landon thought for I really feel he is getting close to being able to understanding this concept. When explaining nature vs. nurture to Landon's mother answered “both, I do not believe one is significantly more important than the other.” (Nicole personal communication, February 11, 2017). Landon's mother think that both are very important she says that being a social worker has made her realize that neither nature or nurture is significantly more important than the
