Introduction
The growth of the infants are not just physical but also psychological and that accounts
for the overall development of them. Apart from the physical growth of the child, the intellectual
growth of the child should also be taken into consideration as that is extremely necessary for
assessing the learning and cognitive capacities of the child. Not just the cognitive capacities but
also the emotional intelligence quotient is supposed to be taken into consideration as the learning
capacities of the infant are dependent upon the development of the cognitive and the intellectual
capacities of the child.
In this particular essay, the thesis statement for the essay shall be what are some
important aspects of psychosocial development that occur in children between the ages of two
and five years, and what influences this development. The answer to the thesis statement shall be
provided on the basis of the case study.
Case Study
This essay shall be based on the life of a 2 and half years old cold named Andrew, son o
Maria and Tom. Andrew had good communication skills and he could articulate his needs very
effectively in maximum four or five words. Andrew also got the proper nutrition at the day care
where he spent three days a week for five hours each day while his mother Maria went for her
part time job. The only problem that Andrew faced was his inability to articulate his needs for
going to the toilet which others of his age had perfected. Hence the only issue that Andrew faces
is that of his inability to tell when he needs to go to the toilet, which could be solved by means of
application of the socio cultural theory of Vygotsky. As such Andrew has got no other

intellectual or cognitive issues and he is also physically fit as he receives good food of high
nutritional value. The nurse at the day care centre has asked Maria to take the help of a local
Mother’s Group in the local area and discuss about the methods of toilet training which shall be
consisting of parents and in an informal environment.
Assessment of the stage of development relevant to the Case Study
The age of Andrew is 2 and half years and that age is marked by a period of drastic
physical and intellectual growth which is extremely vital for the child as that is the first major
stage of transformation for a child. At the age which Andrew is cannot be called as the period of
infancy any longer as that is the period when Andrew is growing out of the stage of infancy and
entering the second phase of childhood. This particular age is extremely crucial as both from the
physical as well as from the intellectual perspective, the latter being the matter of importance in
this particular scenario. The stage of growing out of the stage of infancy makes the sensory
capabilities of a child very sensitive and active hence proper socialization is extremely important
at this stage as that shall have a lasting effect on the mind of the child throughout the life and
shall also be effecting the intellectual growth of the child which has to be properly regulated and
guided. The child grows out of the phase of total unconsciousness to a phase when the child is
exposed to the world of realities which has to be properly imbibed into the mind of the child.
Theoretical assessment of the Case Study
It has been indicated in the previous section that the problem which Andrew faces is that
of his inability to articulate his needs for going to the toilet which others of his age had perfected
as per the case study. In this section, the solution to the problem shall be provided by means of
