When I think of Child Development, it makes me think about reaching my ultimate goal and making an impact in the lives of children and families. I think of how important it is to be educated on what children needs in order to develop socially, emotionally, cognitively, physically and so on. I think of what theorists such as Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, Erik Erikson, Sigmund Freud and B.F. Skinner have contributed to this field and how their thoughts and views made an impact on Child Development and Psychology. What comes to your mind when you think of Child Development? I am going to share a quote with you that makes me think positively about Child Development and motivates me to continue to reach my ultimate goal.
"The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done."
Jean Piaget

Jasmyn, what a great and inspiring post! You hit the nail right on the head. As educators it is our responsibility to help children development in each of their domains to allow them to be the best person that they can be.It's what we do and give to children that will inspire their growth and development. Thanks for you wisdom and insights thatb you have brought to our EDUC 6160 course! Take care!
