You will be writing a short essay, 3-4 pages long, connecting Erikson and Piaget’s developmental theories to two children of different age groups that you know. Review the theories using the resources provided in your book, on Canvas or any other resources that are scholarly and appropriate. You will need to determine what stage the two children should be in according to both theories and if they are in the correct stage. You must work with, observe play and ask the children questions that will help you determine if they are in the correct stages according to both theories. This information: stages from both theories, questions or observations used to determine if they are in the correct stage, why and why not, MUST be incorporated into your paper. You must state how you would incorporate your finding into practice when caring for a child in the hospital.

Paper Requirements:

Length and Elements:

The length of this essay should be 3-4 pages and should include:

• Introduction with specific thesis statement (i.e. The purpose of this paper is to…)

Body of Paper:

• Demonstrate how BOTH Piaget’s and Erikson’s theories are evident in the children you observed/questioned;
• Use scholarly sources to support your ideas and explanations of the theories; and
• Use specific examples from the observation you made and the answers you received from the children;
• Relate how you would use this information in practice when caring for a child, for example how would you gear your communication and interventions to a child developmental stage. Giving specific examples of what you would say or do differently.

Conclusion:

• Summarize your findings; re-emphasize the thesis of the paper without simply repeating it; and do not introduce new ideas here
• Use proper grammar, spelling, and APA formatting including a title and reference page (the title and reference pages do not count toward the page total)
