I have attached the chapter of the textbook you will need. Please cite from the book.

1) Topic One:  Adolescence and Adulthood, Phases and Stages

Briefly discuss one or more of the issues involved in adolescence, adulthood or old age (e-Reading, Chapter 6, Human Development, Sections 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5). Why do you think adolescence and/or young adulthood might be a stressful time? What are some of the phases and stages associated with these years?  In addition to commenting on the reading from your textbook, take a look at one of these  videos about the adolescent brain and let us know what you found out.

The Adolescent Brain!

Here is a serious talk on Ted’s Talk about how the adolescent brain is different:

Here is one that is a little bit funny (Ze Frank)…but still gets the point across (about 7 minutes)

For the middle adult years, search the internet for us concerning midlife crises or the empty nest. From what you have found, do you think the middle years are a time of turmoil or crises?  Do they have to be?

What about the transitions in family life, i.e., marriage and parenthood?

What can we expect from old age? These are only some of the topics that you might wish to discuss.You may pick your own.

Try to relate your answer to the readings and to your personal experience (Note that your personal experience can be your own experiences or someone else’s you know or have read about.)

Resource: Ch. 2 of Environmental Psychology, University Library, and peer-reviewed journals

Assigne environmental risk, PERSONAL SPACE , research two articles from peer-reviewed journals that have different perceptions of the level of risk (i.e., low, high).

• Prepare a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper based on your chosen articles. Bullet each section. Provide a summary of each article. Compare and contrast the risk perceptions presented in each article.

What Builds Healthy Self-Esteem?

Positive self-esteem helps children succeed in school and in life. Your course text discusses the ways that family, school, peers, mass media, and community act as socializing agents that can influence the development of self-esteem. To explore the topic of self-esteem further, review the “Influences on the Development of Self-Esteem” section of your text (pages 442-446). Also review the article by early childhood authority Lilian Katz, “How Can We Strengthen Children’s Self-Esteem?”

As you review these readings, consider the following:

• How socializing agents can influence the development of children’s self-esteem both positively and negatively
• The relationship between praise and self-esteem
• Strategies that resonate with you for supporting children’s developing self-esteem

Next, read the following scenario and reflect on the influence of self-esteem on a young child’s social, emotional, and cognitive development:

Four-year-old Simone always seems willing to go along with what other children want to do but is usually timid about suggesting ideas or helping to solve problems in play scenarios. Her teacher notices that the other children let her join in, but give her the least interesting roles in dramatic play or “jobs” to do in projects that call for group effort. In turn, Simone often tires of the play quickly and wanders off by herself. During the day, Simone looks for frequent reassurance from adults in the room. Whether she’s painting a picture or working on a block building, she wants to know if she is “doing it right” and gets anxious when her efforts aren’t praised. In the mornings when Simone’s mother brings her to school, she is busy with Simone’s infant sister and so doesn’t have time to stay. A neighbor who picks up her own child in the afternoon, picks up Simone as well. Simone’s father, who works at a local “big-box” store has yet to bring Simone to school or visit. Developmentally, Simone seems in the normal range, but her teacher is concerned about how she will do next year in kindergarten, when she will be in a much larger class than her preschool group and there will be added demands on Simone.

By Day 3:

With this scenario in mind and drawing on the expert information in the readings, post responses to at least two of the following:

• Provide any insight you have regarding Simone’s self-esteem and explain your reasoning.
• Explain your views on the role of self-esteem in a child’s healthy development.
• Suggest two ideas that you would use as an early childhood professional to promote the development of Simone’s self-esteem and explain your reasoning.

APA format. NO PLAGARISM WHAT SO EVER!!!!! WILLING TO PAY 12 IN TOTAL. SINGLE MOM HERE!

You will design two surveys (one focused on customers and one focused on employees) that will answer the question posed in the Key Assignment. Be sure that the surveys are structured correctly and written to maximize data collection. You will complete 6 surveys, 3 from the perspective of the customers and 3 from the perspective of the employees. This data will provide the information for the analysis you will do later, so be as deliberate and thoughtful as you can when completing the surveys (think like a customer and then like an employee). 

Use the following information to help you formulate the questions you will ask in your survey. You may add additional questions if they would like but, at a minimum you must use the survey questions provided below for the customers and employees.

• For customers:
  • gender
  • age
  • frequency of shopping at the store (you name it)
  • past purchases of the product (you name it)
  • purchases of the product in the last month
  • perceptions of why product sales have decreased
  • What would encourage the costumer to begin purchasing the product again?
• For store employees:
  • gender
  • age
  • length of employment
  • perceptions of why the product sales have decreased
  • Recommendations of what the company can do to increase sales.

The answers from each population need to reflect some variability and should be clearly written from the two differing perspectives
