Ego Development Child: The level of the child's neurological and physiological ego development child determines the kinds of learning that can take place. Accordingly, the age at which a particular task should be taught to a child depends on the complexity of the skill, the degree of co-ordination and mental ability involved, and the rate of that particular child's ego development child. A little practice at the appropriate stage of maturation is more effective than a lot when the child is too young.
Even if a child has made a poor start, it may be corrected by later life experiences, with the help of an understanding adult or through association with a chum or a group of peers. For example, in a family limited in intelligence and income, but blessed with genuinely warm feelings toward one another, the ego development child of one child took place as follows: At twenty months the child was unweaned, had temper tantrums, and was retarded in language ego development child. At this time a clinical study of the child was made and discussed with the mother.
A major issue among a generation of child psychologists was the nature vs. nurture controversy—the debate about the relative influence of heredity and environment on ego development child. An American, G. Stanley Hall, sometimes called the father of child psychology, brought to child psychology the view that genetics is the determining factor. Among Hall's more influential students were Arnold Gesell, a pediatrician who was concerned with early behavioral ego development child generally, and Lewis M. Terman, a psychologist who was concerned primarily with intellectual ego development child. |
