Cognitive Development:
Surface Level reading: 7 Years
At this stage I am around
7 years old and I am in
2nd grade at my elementary
school CTA Liberty. I am learning
to read at this point. Normally as the
title suggest, this is surface level and
I don't attach much meaning to what
I am getting out of the text.Cognitive Development:
Deep Level Reading: 8-9 Years
I have mastered surface level reading at this age
and now I am reaching the phase of deeper
level reading. I am at the same school and the teacher
assignes high level reading assignments.
At this age children normally read to learn as
oppose to learning to read as shown in surface
level reading.Cognitive Development
Excellence in mathematics (9-10 Years)
My teacher in 4th grade assigns a time
assignment where I must answer 100 questions
in a certain time frame. She tells our class that
guys normally finish before the girls. Taking this
knowledge into mind, I am motivated to out pace everyone.
I was pretty good at these assignments.
While it is frowned upon to stereotype math skills
by gender, it turns out boys and girls have
similar skills in math.Social Emotional Development
10 years old
At this age in my life, I begin to take
other types of traits into considerations.
This is natural because at an earlier age, I
made friends that were similar and especially
those who lived close by. Now that I am a little wiser,
I begin to notice differences in the friends I make
and at a later age, I will value my loyalty and
intimacy more.Social Emotional Development
under 10 years old
I don't take my brother's food
in fear that my parents will scold
at me. This is based off of Kohlberg's 6
stages of moral dilemma. This is quite normal
for kids under 10 to avoid personal punishment.
I am in the preconventional stage at this point.Social Emotional Development
12 years old
I am almost at the end of my middle childhood
and I notice that some people are really liked but
also disliked. Now I now that this is classified under as
controversial. Controversial are kids that can
be greatly liked as best friends but they can also be disliked.
This is a grey area between the spectrum of rejected
and popular kids.Physical Motor Development:
11 years:
I finally lose all of my baby teeth and
my adult teeth begin to settle in! This means
that I need to take very good care of my teeth.
This is completely normal because this is a skeletal
growth result. Losing all the baby teeth
shows signs that puberty is around the corner.Physical/Motor Skills:
At this age, I have a refined my usage in both
motor and gross motor skills. I have achieved
confidence and competence in utilizing these skills.
This best example of this is my music teacher making
my class learn the recorder. I actually was one of the best
in the classroom and I like to give my developed
find motor skills credit for being able to hit the
notes so wellNon Normative
I had a tough time with transitivity at this age.
I understand that transitivity involves making
deductive reasoning but this was a big struggle
for me. For example, I couldn't come to the conclusions
that if the Suns beat the Warriors, and
the Warriors beat the Thunder, that the Suns could beat
the Thunder. This ability of transitivity is something
that I lacked.
