Summer Camp
The first age group is the 18 month old stage. According to Erik Erikson this stage is toddlerhood and it is a time when children begin to excercise their will and start to do things for themselves. This stage is also classified under Piaget's Pre-Operational period. This is an exciting stage when children begin to use mental imagery and language. Great activities for this age are puzzle time with simple puzzles, shape sorting, and an elaborate story time with finger puppets.
Erikson's Preschooler stage helps develop stimulating activities for the 5 year old group. This is a time when the child learns to initiate certain tasks and carry them out. This group also marks the end of Piaget's Pre-Operational period and the beginning of the Concrete Operational stage. Children at this age can begin to reason with concrete knowledge but have trouble looking at the abstract side of things. Great activities for this stage are realistic play stations for role playing such as stores and kitchens. Musical instruments for marching band play also provide a valuable learning experience.
The twelve year old age group is in Erikson's Elementry category and marks the time when children begin to enjoy applying themselves to tasks. This is classified as the beginning of the Formal Operational stage in Piaget's studies. People begin to be able to think logically and abstractly as well as theoretically. A great activity for this age is a building lab which includes everything from legos to boards, nails, popsicle sticks and glue. A fun physical challege is an obstacle course made for individual and team competition.
The 18 year old age group is in Erikson's Adolescence stage. During this stage, teens work at refining sense of self by testing out roles and then intergrating these experiences into one identity. Piaget's Formal Operations stage describes this age group as being self motivators. Exciting adventure training for this age group includes hiking, camping and climbing. Additional fun activities are watersports such as swimming, canoeing, rafting, and fishing.
Unit Wrap Up
What was something that you learned in this unit? What other points do you want to share about the unit?
I learned extensively about Piaget and Erikson especially during this blog activity. Their theories on human development help break down the stages so they are easier to study and understand. I also learned alot about parenting styles and I have been able to form my own opinions about those styles (I believe authoritative is the best). I really enjoyed the discussion topics for this unit because I enjoyed voicing my opinions on the interesting subjects and hearing what other people thought.
