John Bowlby's Stages Of Development

After transition, labour progresses to the second stage, where the mother will push and give birth to the child, and that is where the life of an infant will begin and its stages of development will con-tinue.

Development is described as stability and relative continuing though the changes that have been made in the time in physical and neurological, thought procedures and behaviour.

It is important to comprehend the goals of development. Develop-ment is studied for many reasons, one to know the changes that emerge to be worldwide, secondly to justify individual changes among children, also to understand the education of children’s behaviour affected by the setting.

Infancy is the stage from birth to about two years of age. It is a time of

However, Bowlby exposed that human infants are set to produce certain behaviour that will cause caregiving from people around them and will keep adults nearby, behaviour that includes crying and smiling. Evaluation standpoint explains that these patterns have adaptive value because they help ensure that infants will receive the care necessary for their survival (Bowlby,1969).

A major result of mother infant interactions, according to Bowlby, is the infant’s development of an emotional attachment of the mother, the function of the infant’s attachment, from the infants point of view, is to provide psychological security. The sings of an infant’s attachment to a caregiver are evident in three phe-nomena. However the reason of the attachment behaviour is to lessen the unpleasant feelings through interaction with the target of attachment.

Cognitive

Jean Piaget, a psychologist born on August 9th 1898, is known as the most important and popular theorist of cognitive develop-ment. Piaget created theories that were extremely powerful, one of them were the four stages of development, Sensorimotor, Pre-operational, Concrete Operational and Formal Operational.

From the view of Piagets stages of development, Infants are said to be in the Sensorimotor stage. Sensorimotor is a stage where infants are described to be active. This stage of development was divided in to six stages and is only engaged for 18 to 24 months of life. Infants begin with responses and reflexes that involve cry-ing, sucking and engaging themselves with new sounds they hear around them.

Piaget featured that the Sensorimotor stage reasons infants very differently. He considered that infants are actively constructing their understanding of the world as they grow as well as their mind and body grows. Piaget thought this happens commonly in different stages and figured out that infants are more than just miniature adults.

Acceding to Piaget, infants develop an understanding about ob-jects through their actions with them, and this only appears through a pattern of stages that make up the sensorimotor
