Of the four theorists reviewed above (Freud, Erikson, Piaget, and Vygotsky) which theorist's ideas about development most closely match your own beliefs about how people develop and why?

Share your ideas about the many social factors that influence the development of children. Make a list of as many factors that come to mind for you. I would like for you to think particularly about what influences are closest and/or most important to the child and which are more in the background. You can display this in ranking order, you can create a model of some sort, or however you would like to share the influences that are closest to the child and those that are not as close.
