PHYSICAL, COGNITIVE AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN
Introduction:
The early childhood is a phase in the lives of children which is associated with a
variety of changes, involving physical, cognitive and social development (Britto et al., 2017).
There are various theories that underpin the stages of development across the early years of
childhood and the corresponding physical and behavioural changes in the children. Hence, for
the early childhood educators and care providers must have a sound knowledge regarding the
different developmental trajectories across the childhood (Richter et al., 2017). This essay
will analyse the context of physical, social and cognitive development of three children, on
the basis of their account of a family event they encountered, taking the assistance of episode
one of the kids history shared in Youtube by the Bored shorts (Youtube.com, 2018).
Discussion:
The Youtube video represents three children, two boys in the primary education phase
and one girl is in the preschool age. All three of the children were narrating an event
involving their family members, Uncle John and Uncle Randy, who had an interesting
encounter with a stranger who wanted to punch their car. It had been very entertaining and
fun-filled activity for the children and it was apparent that the children enjoyed the activity
very much. The account involved Uncle John and Uncle Randy sitting in their car and
ignoring a green signal in the road (Youtube.com, 2018). This angered the stranger in the
video who had been waiting in the car behind the car of Uncle John and Uncle Randy, who
started screaming and threatening them to punch their car. Although, in the perception of the
children the entire scenario resolved in a funny way rather than a violent manner. Although,
the description of the each of the three children differed with respect to the age difference and
corresponding developmental progress.
