Two essential components of the development of the human life span are parenting and education. Developmental psychology theories state that a child's cognitive, social, and emotional development is greatly influenced by the education and parenting styles they receive. The four parenting philosophies put out by Diana Baumrind authorization, permissive, neglectful, and authoritative have varying consequences on a child's growth. For example, children raised by authoritative parents who exhibit a healthy mix of affection and rules tend to grow up to be self assured, capable, and emotionally balanced adults. On the other hand, cognitive and socioemotional development is greatly influenced by education. A child's academic performance, future employment opportunities, and general level of happiness with life can all be impacted by the quality of their education. Theories explaining how children learn and develop intellectually have been put forth by educational psychologists such as Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky. According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, children go through four stages of cognitive development, each of which is distinguished by a unique way of thinking and perceiving the world. The sociocultural theory of Vygotsky places a strong emphasis on the role that cultural resources and social interactions have in cognitive development. =make a reply to this thoughts and Replies MUST consist of adding information and at least one complete reference as well as giving your thoughts.
