• Families
• Peer Relations, Play, and Television
• The Self, Gender, and Moral
Development
What influences it?
Families
• Parenting styles
• Adapting parenting to developmental changes in the
child
• Cultural, ethnic, and social class variations in family
• Siblings relationship and birth order
• The changing family in a changing society
• Depressed parents
1. Authoritarian
Is a restrictive style in which parents exhort the child to follow
instruction and to respect their work and effort. This style has a firm
limit and controls on the child
2. Authoritative
This style encourages children to be independent but parents still place
limit and controls on the children’s actions
3. Permissive
Neglectful parents are uninvolved in the child’s life.
Indulgent parents are highly involved with their children but place
few demands or control on them.
Adapting Parenting to Developmental
Changes in the Child
Parents need to adapt their behavior to their
children based on their children’s developmental
maturity.
As the child grow older, parents increasingly to
reasoning, moral exhortation and giving or withholding
special privileges, give less physical affection.
Cultural, Ethnic, and Social Class
Variations in Family
Different culture, different ethnic, different
social class
Different values, different parenting behaviors
Siblings Relationship and Birth Order
Actions Parents Siblings
Interaction More Less
Following dictates More Less
Behave punitively and
negatively
Less More
Understand the child’s
problem
Less More
Birth order effects suggest that birth order might
be a strong predictor of behavior. However, we
must remember that there are so many other
complex influences on a child’s behavior.
The Changing Family in a Changing
Society
• Working Mothers
Maternal employment is a part of modern life.
Many working mothers are feeling guilty about being
away from their children. Working parents’ guilt can be
reduced if they begin paying closer attention to how
their children are doing.
• Effects of divorce on children
Two main models to explain how explain how divorce
affects children’s development:
Multiple factor
model of
divorce
• Family structure model
Any differences in children from different family structures
are due to the family structure variations, such as the father’s
being absent in one set of the families.
• Multiple factor model of divorce
Takes into account the complexity of the divorce context and
examines a number of influences on the child’s development.
Such as: age and developmental changes; conflict; sex of the
child and custody arrangements; income and economic
stress.
Most children initially experience considerable
stress when their parents divorce, and they are
at risk for developing problem behaviors.
Depressed Parents
Research shows that depression in parents is
associated with problem of adjustment and
disorders, especially depression, in their
children.
Peer Relations

to provide a source of
information and comparison
about the world outside the

Parten's Classic
Study of Play
Unoccupied play
the child is not playing but occupies herself with
watching anything that happend to be of
momentary interest.
Parallel play
Occurs when the child plays separately from
others but with the tpys like those the others are
using.
Associative play
when the child is interested in the people playing
but not in coordinating their activities with those
people, or when there is no organized activity at
all. There is a substantial amount of interaction
involved, but the activities are not in sync.
Cooperative play

sense of group identity and organized activity

The Self
Initiative vs. Guilt
As preschool, children
encounter a widening social
world, they are challenge more
& need to develop more
purposeful behavior to cope
with these challenges. Children
are asked to assume more
responsibility. Uncomfortable
guilt feelings may arise, though,
if the children irresponsible &
are made to feel too anxious.
The Self
Self-Understanding
is the child’s cognitive
representation of self,
the substance & content
of the child’s self-
conception.
Gender
Gender refers to the social
dimension of being male or
female.
Gender identity is the sense of
being male or female, which most
of children acquire by the time
they are 3 years old.
Gender role is a set of
expectation that prescribe how
males and females should think,
act, and feel.
Gender
Biological Influences
Sigmund FreudHuman behavior and history are
directly influenced by sexual drives.
Erik EriksonBecause of genital structure, males
are more intrusive and aggressive,
females more inclusive and passive.
Gender
Social Influences
Identification theoryThe preschool child develops a sexual
attraction to the opposite-sex parent.
By approximately 5 or 6 years of age
the child renounces this attraction
because of anxious feelings. Then, the
child identifies with the same-sex
parent, unconsciously adopting the
same-sex parent’s characteristics.
Social learning theory of
genderChildren’s gender development
occurs through observation and
imitation of gender behavior, and
through the rewards &punishments
children experience for gender
appropriate and inappropriate
behavior.

• Cognitive Developmental
Theory

• Piaget’s View of How
children’s moral
Reasoning Develops
Heteronomous morality
The first stage of moral
development in Piaget’s
theory, occurring
approximately 4 to 7 years
of age. Justice and rules
are conceived of as
unchangeable properties
of the world, removed
from the control of people.
Moral Development
Autonomous morality
The second stage of moral
development in Piaget’s
theory, displayed by older
children (about 1o years of
age and older]. The child
becomes aware that rules
and laws are created by
people and that, in
judging an action, one
should consider the actor’s
intentions as well
consequences.
Moral Development
Immanent justice the concept
that if the rule is broken,
punishment will be meted
out immediately.

main structure of
personality.
• Child’s superego

child resolves the
Oedipus Complex
