Find a household with at least one child between the ages of 18 months and 5 years. Observe or interview the child, depending upon their age, and interview the parent(s). Do not provide a transcript or narration of the interview, just summarize the information.
Discuss the childs key physical developmental milestones
Discuss how this child does or does not align with the stage they should be in according to each of the following theories: Freud, Piaget, Erikson, Kohlberg. Is the child following the stages in order, out-of-order, or not at all? Demonstrate solid understanding of correct stage for each theory.
Indicate the parenting style (authoritative, authoritarian, or permissive) that each parent appears to use.
Use pseudonyms for the family unless you have permission to share their real names. Be sure to use evidence from your observation and interviews to support the assessment you make about the developmental models and the parenting style. You should cite at least one SCHOLARLY source (e.g., textbook) when defining any terms or making any claims on behalf of a theorist, etc.
APA formatting is expected on the paper and the citations/reference list. No minimum word count.
