DESCRIBE ONE
I believe that one significant learning experience that I had with stages
of growth and development of a pediatric client is our theory class where
Ericksons theory of psychosocial development, Piagets theory of
cognitive development as well as Kolbergs theory of moral
development were discussed. Moodle is incorporated in our pediatric
theory class where assigned book readings, PowerPoints and video links
were provided to enhance our knowledge of the said theories.

doubt relates to my sons behavior when he was at the age of 3. This is
the time when he insisted on brushing his own teeth, putting on his own
clothes and helping with chores in the house. The experiences with my
children, in this case my son, and learning the concepts regarding growth
and development helped me predict certain behaviors in my children.
This is meaningful to me because I have a better understanding on what
to expect when my children reach a certain age and what behaviors can
be anticipated.
