Describe how understanding theories of child development can assist you in your chosen profession. Use specific examples and evidence from the textbook and additional research.



               Understanding of child development theories help me to have an understanding as to why and how children learn and grow as they do. I am able to understand theories that will help me to address the developmental need of the child as an individual. According to the text it says, “Knowledge of child development also guidescaregivers in providing children with the experiences, support, and direction necessary for their optimal development.”(Groark, C., McCarthy, S. & Kirk, A. (2014).



Explain the theories that most closely align with your personal philosophy or approach to child development. Use specific examples to illustrate your perspective.



The method in which I closely align with is the Montessori Method, I believe that children learn through play, and real life hands on activities with some teacher instructions. “Play is where everything children experience in isolation comes together. It's where they begin to make sense of the present world and to imaginethe future.”(Jaruszewicz, C. (2013). An example would when children are in the block area. “There children are planning and designing structures every day with little teacher direction. Measuring is easy too, especially if the blocks are unit blocks where every two make one of the next size up. (Ashbrook, P. (2010, March 1). This helps the with math, science and engineering all while they are at play.
