MODULE 2 THE STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT AND DEVELOPMENTAL TASK

MODULE 2
THE STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT AND DEVELOPMENTAL TASK

1. Reflect on your early childhood, middle and late childhood days. Were you able to acquire the developmental tasks expected of these stages? What facilitated your acquisitions of the ability to perform such tasks?

When I was a 1 year old my mother teaches me how to walk even though sometimes I feel down in the floor. They teach me how to say the word and call them “mama” and “papa” and taught me everything that I can. Then, when I was a three years old my mother taught me how to write my name, how to count and read an alphabet. When I was in 5 years my mother tried to send me to school as a toddler. It was my first day in school, and then I cried because my mother will leave me. Then I start to introduce myself to my classmates and to my teacher. After a few months I learned a lot of things like I can already write my name properly, know how to color, how to draw and everything. One day my teacher tells us she will be preparing our test on the next day. Then my mother said that, if I’m going to study well and got the high score. She will buy me my favorite food and buy some toys that I want. And then I study hard and as a result, I got the highest score. So, as she said she brought me my favorite food and buys me toys.
When I was in seven years old I entered a regular grade class. Good decision-making must be developed over a person’s lifetime. First became simple choices when I was quite young. What shirt do you want to wear? What drink do you want, and choices were respected. When I picked out a shirt that clashed outrageously with my pants my mother did not override my choice. This gave my beginning decision-making real validity even if my taste in clothes left much to be desired.
As time goes by, now I am in the stage of adolescence. As a teenager I struggle body changes, mood swings, and social issues. In this stage I feel I can do whatever I want in my life. Sometimes I left home without saying goodbye to my mother, that I do not do my usual immature. Maybe it is part of growing up.

2. Reflect on your current stages, were you able to develop the expected developmental tasks? What are those?

Developmental task of Adolescence is a developmental task is a task that arises at or about a certain period in life, unsuccessful achievement of which leads to inability to perform tasks associated with the next period or stage in life.
