Essay
1. In Erikson’s third stage of psychosocial development, what benefits does play have on
children’s development?
Ans: During play, young children learn about themselves and their social world. They can
experiment and practice new skills in a safe context free of criticism. They learn to work
cooperatively with other children to achieve common goals. Children also practice taking on adult
roles through play: mother, father, doctor, teacher, and police officer. Through play, children also
learn how to manage their emotions and develop self-regulation skills.

2. What is the developmental progression of prosocial behavior from the age of 18 months
through 5 years of age?
Ans: Toddlers at the age of 18 months demonstrate prosocial behavior by helping adults
instrumentally. They will help adults reach a simple action-based goal such as getting something
for them. Between 18 and 24 months of age, toddlers show an increase in prosocial responses to
others’ emotional and physical distress and respond with expressions of concern and comfort.

When children reach 3.5 years of age, they show more complex forms of instrumental assistance,
such as bringing a needed object to an adult without the adult asking for it. The children have the
ability to select an object appropriate to the adult’s need without direction. Between 3 and 5 years
of age, young children show selectivity in prosocial behavior. They share more with children and
adults, and closer to the age of 5 will share with peers they dislike. Prosocial behavior increases
throughout early childhood and reflects a more advanced understanding of others’ perspectives
and goals.

3. What is the difference between authoritarian and authoritative parenting?


Ans: Authoritarian parenting emphasizes behavioral control and obedience over warmth. On the
other hand, authoritative parents are warm and sensitive to children’s needs but also are firm in
their expectations that children conform to appropriate standards of behavior. Children who have
authoritarian parents are expected to conform to parental standards without question. Violations
are accompanied by forceful and often arbitrary punishment. Children with authoritative parents
explain and encourage discussion about the rules they set so that children understand their
purpose and what is expected of them. Authoritarian parents might yell, threaten, or spank their
children. In an authoritative household, when a rule is violated parents explain what the child did
wrong and impose limited, developmentally appropriate punishments that are closely connected
to the misdeed. Authoritarian parents tend to not accept children’s involvement in decisions and
do not grant much autonomy. On the other hand, authoritative parents value and foster children’s
individuality. They encourage their children to have their own interests, opinions, and decisions,
but, ultimately, they control the child’s behavior.

4. What is the difference between physical abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect in terms of the
actual abuse, incidence rates, and the child outcomes related to child maltreatment overall?
Ans: Physical abuse refers to any intentional physical injury to the child and can include striking,
kicking, burning, or biting the child as well as any action that results in physical impairment of the
child. Each year about 18% of cases entail physical abuse. Sexual abuse is more common
among older children and refers to inappropriate touching, comments, intercourse, and other
forms of sexual activity and tends to constitute 10% of cases. Neglect is defined in terms of
deprivation of adequate food, clothing, shelter, or medical care. Child neglect constitutes over
three quarters of cases of child maltreatment. Physical abuse can impair brain development and
functioning through physical damage and can alter the course of brain development, increasing
the child’s risk for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder,
conduct disorder, and learning and memory difficulties. The emotional effects of child
maltreatment are serious and long lasting. Infants and toddlers who are abused fail to develop
secure attachments to their caregivers, have poor coping skills, low self-esteem, and difficulty
regulating their emotions and impulses. They show more negative affect, such as anger and
frustration, and less positive affect than other children. They are at risk for a range of
psychological disorders, including anxiety, eating, dissociative, and depressive disorder. Child
maltreatment also has negative implications for cognitive development. Children who have
experienced abuse have difficulty making and maintaining friendships and are at greater risk of
being bullies or victims of bullies, as they find it difficult to integrate peer groups and often remain
isolated.

5. What are the benefits of sociodramatic play?


Ans: Children learn from each other and from enacting roles. They learn how to explain their
ideas; to regulate emotions as they pretend to be sad, angry, or afraid; and to develop a sense of
self-concept as they differentiate themselves from the roles they play. Social interactions in
sociodramatic play are an important context for learning as children model higher-level thinking
and interaction skills, scaffolding less-skilled peers and helping them to reach their potential.
Sociodramatic play helps children explore social rules and conventions, promotes language skills,
and is associated with social competence.
