So I am going to be completely honest, I am not quite sure about how I will be going about this paper on child psycology. But I have seen, with some minor resarch, that there has been a big controversy with linking child developement and psychology. Some Therapists say that child developement is based on adaptations to the environment, social, and cultural influences. The controversy is that its based on active or passive development. Its quite interesting that therapists can say that a child’s development is based soley on their on decisions. They say that it is all whether they want to be active in ‘choosing their own path’ or to be passive and let others decide who they should be. This controversy has been around for years, but it has been very subtle, but its intersesting reading about the arguement and how intese it has become over the last 50 years. The first group of therapists think that developemet is gradual without sudden change. The second group is saying that it is all pretty sudden. based on hormones and abrupt changes in a childs life, developement is very much so effected. The problem is that I haven’t done enough major research to decide who side I am ready to take. Both sides are somewhat correct in my opinion. but we shall see.
