Analysis
NB exhibits many social skills in the Emergence of an Organized Sense of Self range
of 9-18 months from Greenspans First Feelings: Milestones in the Emotional Development of
Your Baby and Child from Birth to Four. For example, he uses complex behavior patterns when
he pulled the teacher over to get her to take down the book he wanted. He also displays some of
the milestones in Creating Emotional Ideas from the 18-36 month range. He was engaging in
pretend play before moving his cot and he makes spatial designs with his blocks. It stressed that
these are not continually seen in development, but they are increasingly seen. NB is at the
beginning of this stage.
According to our readings on Erikson, NB is working on developing his autonomy. He is
gaining his independence, while still using his caregivers for support. This ties into the cognitive
development and his use of tools. When NB wanted something in during this observation, he
pulled his teacher over to help him get it. NB also wanted to be autonomous when he wanted
help put his cot away after nap time. He got frustrated at first when he couldnt do it. He was
much happier when the teacher let him help put it away.
To support NBs further development, I could foster the childs growing independence
and self-direction by letting him/her do things according to his/her own ability (WMELS, pg.
32). Within the classroom, I should support him by letting him wash his hands with less support
or try to put his hat on by himself. Not only does it let him develop his autonomy, but also his
self-esteem.
