Recommended: Erik erikson stages of development in life

BASIC INFORMATION:
Agency: Portage Trail Community School
Age: 11 (nearly turning 12 yrs of age)
Other:
- Physically challenged (Cerebral Palsy) and other Disabilities
IDENTIFY THE LIFE STAGE:
School Age
 TS: If one were to solely identify the life stage based on age, which was my first place of reference as it relates to coming to a conclusion on life stage, I decided on placing my client under Erik Erikson’s life stage of School age
• Then, in reading about the life-stage even further I came to conclude how much more it can be used, is applicable to my client, and this is by the following: o Age:
- Currently 11 yrs. of age o Important life event (School):
- Dante is currently attending school (Gr 6) o Outcome:
The outcome for this specific …show more content…

In addition, comes the aspect of success and the idea of where success leaves one feeling on the contrary to failure and where that leads. o The specific description of the outcome or issue, at this stage of development, and as stated in the reading is as follows:
- “Children learn to cope with new social and academic demands. Success leads to a sense of ability and accomplishment. In contrast, failure leads to a sense of nagging inferiority.”
 New Social and Academic Demands
Academic Demands
SS: Although at this stage in time Dante has been in school quite some time, not unusual, like the majority of us, feel as though comment on “new” academic demands as it relates to the transition between elementary and middle school:
 Longer prds. of learning (at the end of day depends on school but, most part)
- Changes to 45mins – 1hr
In relation – less amount of running around/free time (morning/afternoon recess no longer)
 Greater amount of independent work
 Greater amount of

    Through his eyes, he has experienced two very different worlds which are to be much alike in expectations and attitudes. However, this being not the case, it leads me to question how much the psychological and social effects of being in a remedial class weight on the minds of the adolescent. It is interesting to me that the expectations were so vastly different in a world where we teach our young minds that anyone can achieve with enough effort. Effort itself, was not pressed in the lower classes (or at least not expected, let alone strived for), and thus, students suffered from the psychological effects of being placed in a class in which they felt intellectually inferior to those who were in a higher stratum of

    Thomas Jefferson was a man who believed that all American citizens need to be educated so that they may exercise their rights. He saw public education as essential to a democracy. One proposal he made for public education would guarantee that all children could attend public schools for three years. However, much like other early school reforms, this proposal received much rejection and was never brought into being. Despite this rejection, Jefferson still believed that America needed public education. Eventually, he opened the University of Virginia. Even though his bills and proposals to benefit public education never saw the light of day, he still made many contributions to public education by providing the foundation on how a democracy should handle educating its

    Success. Seven letters, two syllables, and essentially, the goal of almost every person to walk the planet. The interesting thing about success is that it isn’t a set in stone goal, but an ideology. With each person, success is redefined, argued, and tried. Success comes in different forms and levels, but at the end of the day every person who has been deemed successful mentions one word: failure. Yet, it isn’t failure in of itself that produces success, but the determination and desire to work through it. Failure can only indoctrinate when an individual decides to work past it and improve from it. Often, however, the strenuous process of failure and grit is glamorized, and the true factors that play into success are forgotten. For example,

  • Analysis Of When Success Leads To Failure Essay

    1349 Words  | 3 Pages

    In When Success Leads to Failure, Jessica Lahey is faced with a tough situation involving a student, whose love for learning is fading, and a parent who does not seem to understand why. Lahey establishes that parents are starting to teach children to fear failure, and the fear is what is destroying their love for learning (Lahey). I support Lahey’s proposition that kids are beginning to hate learning because children are taught that failure is not an option. In today’s society, many teachers and especially parents push children to only strive for success and to fear failure, which results in many children’s growing hatred for learning.

    Retaining kids only began to be questioned in recent years. Could there be a relation from these kids falling behind in school to how the world has changed and different ways kids are raised? We all know the different names for the young generation, including: “The Cupcake Generation,” “Generation Me,” and “The Participation Trophy Generation.” Everything that has been handed to these kids has affected their ability to earn things, instead they feel entitled. They can grow up lacking the motivation to finish a task. When at school, they can feel that they deserve a good grade without working for it because they are “special.”

  • Kohlberg's Psychosocial Development Theory

    According to Erikson, children whose previous experiences have been positive enter middle childhood prepared to redirect their energies toward realistic accomplishment (Berk, 2014). In middle childhood, children are innately driven to master skills and tasks. This drive, in combination with adult expectations, maps out the psychological conflict of industry versus inferiority. There are four main parts to this theory but the overall message is that as a child grows, their sense of self is based on the way social interaction affect specific areas of development in stage four, industry vs. inferiority, of Erik Erikson’s psychosocial development stage theory.

    Success and failure seem to be pretty distinct opposites, but many times the differences between success and failure aren’t as obvious as we may think them to be. Sometimes a failure can be turned into a success if you are willing to look back at them, and are open to learning from them. Many times, one’s attitude toward a failure can determine whether or not anything is learned from it. Those who remain upbeat and positive after a failure may be able to get something out of it, but those who just don’t think about it and ignore it won’t get anything from it.

    During early years of life, children undergo several developmental changes. Their logical reasoning, attention, perspectives, skills begin to develop. When children go to the elementary school, they begin to integrate knowledge from their interactions with parents and teachers in order to confront the academic challenge. Some children successfully achieve their academic goals; however, some children fail to meet this challenge, which can have a long-lasting negative impact on their success in the school context (Supplee al et., 2006). Thus, parents and school are critical for academic performance and personal development. In a long time, families were responsible for preparing their children with the necessary skills in the early years, and schools took over from there with little input
