This assignment delves into various aspects of human development, examining theories like behavioral, social-cognitive, and cognitive development. It explores how insecure attachments in infancy can lead to relationship problems later in life and contrasts Piaget's stages of cognitive development. The paper also analyzes the intersection between parenting styles and discipline, comparing how preschoolers and school-aged children cope with divorce, and differentiates adolescence from emerging adulthood. Finally, it discusses Baumrind's theory as a tool for preventing adolescent issues and provides guidance on helping adolescents and emerging adults navigate career choices.
