“Personal Paradigm”

Introduction

Explanation: This artifact is my own personal paradigm that includes theories of Child

Development. In this paper, I review four different theories that are a part of who I am and have

shaped the way I think, feel, and speak. These four theories are Bowlby’s attachment theory,

Baumrind’s parenting styles theory, John Gottman’s emotion coaching theory, and Maslow’s

hierarchy of needs. I have been able to reflect on my life and incorporate these theories into my

own experiences and paradigm.

Standard: This artifact demonstrates my knowledge. I took what I had learned in many classes

about different theories and applied it to my own life and experiences. It shows that I am able to

apply what I know to what I observe in my life and the lives of others.
