We are social beings, and what Erickson teaches us, is the importance of this on each stage. In the end we all want kids to feel confidant and be independent, but this cant be if we don't take into consideration that there are stages and need specific for each stage in life.

1) Erikson's stages are important in ECE because they inform us what stages or milestones (mentally) that children are going through in their different age groups. As ECE professionals we can use that knowledge to help us in our classrooms.
2) I work with toddlers and it is really important for me to understand that stage. I will use that knowledge to try and incorporate more activities and tasks that my toddlers can help me with, to help build that autonomy. And when they don't do the task correctly, or make a mistake, I will not shame them.

Erickson’s theory helps ECE teachers identify the types of teacher-child interactions required for healthy social and emotional development. His theories help people who work with young children understand the importance of providing specific types of interactions and environments to ensure positive social-emotional development.

1) Why are Erikson’s stages of social and emotional development important for an early care and education teacher?

Erikson's stages of social and emotional development are important for an early care and education teacher because they give us insight into when certain behaviors are most malleable. It lets us know when to focus on certain aspects of behavior.

2) How will you apply your knowledge in working with children in your age group?

Although some steps of social and emotional development are done when some children come to my classroom, I can still provide appropriate care for each child.

The stages of social and emotional development are important for a teacher to understand because it gives him or her insight on how to respond to a child's needs at each stage in a positive way.

1.) Erikson's work is important for ECE teachers because it can help guide us in our interactions with young children as well as in creating appropriate learning environments and materials to meet the challenges of each developmental stage. If children's social-emotional needs are not met in each level, it will have detrimental effects on their abilities in and attitudes towards learning.

2.) I currently work with 2 and 3 year olds, so I can apply Erikson's theory by focusing developmental goals on building a healthy sense of autonomy and self-efficacy rather than creating a sense of shame. In our classroom, we try to guide children to do as much as they can for themselves rather than doing it for them or reacting negatively when they still need help.

The theories of Erikson are helpful in child development because they can help teachers and care givers build relationships with children, and help children build relationships with each other by using appropriate learning environments and giving them opportunities for autonomy.
As a preschool teacher I can apply this knowledge by giving my children ample free play time and materials to allow them to discover on their own and build on their relationships.

Maria Haslam

9/16/2018 09:22:46 am

This allows care givers and teachers to provide the right care and nurturing for the appropriate age so that the child establishes trust and a positive foundation for education.
For the 3-6 year rang I teach, I'll refresh montessori principles of respecting the child and allowing the child to make and learn from mistakes in a supportive environment.

Erikson's theory is important because it helps teachers get a understanding of what stages a child is at and what that child needs to have a good teacher-student relationship. It also will help teacher know how to teach a child in each stage. I'm working with 4-5 years old children. This will give me a better understand about the children's behavior and how to help them reach their full potential at the stage they are in.

Chris Cameron

10/14/2018 07:20:48 pm

Erickson's observations and analysis are become an important tool in recognizing both stages in which certain cognition comes on line and how to most proactively respond to the development by placing most focus on positive attention to these areas while also increasing awareness as to how demonstrated behavior and environmental factors might negatively influence outcome, effectively providing a system for checks and balances. In my practice I will seek to use this information to modify my interactions appropriately based on the age range of the group and individual I'm interacting with.

Aimee

10/15/2018 12:55:32 pm

Erickson's stages of social and emotional development are important for an early care and education teacher because this information helps us understand the stages a child is at and how they are developing. It is important for parents and caregivers to understand the development of children and Erickson's stages guide us through them. Each age group is important to understand when it comes to development.

I will use these theories to help make my relationships with children stronger and to help me realize what is appropriate for each group of children I am working with.

1. They are important because they give teachers a framework with which they can direct both their own interactions with an individual child and the goals of the classroom as a whole based on which stage the children are in and what corresponding strength they are working on.
2. Given that I work with 3-4 year olds they are making the transition from autonomy vs. shame to initiative vs. guilt. I can apply this knowledge by giving them loving support as they begin to try things for themselves and act out their own ideas. I can help them to not feel ashamed when they fail and to keep trying when things are hard.

Eriksons stages help guide educators to better understand and interact with children at each developmental stage.

As a Montessori teacher we already follow Eriksons stages

Daniel Thongdara

12/16/2018 12:58:15 pm

1) Erikson's development stages illustrate and highlight what children need and how they seek it out. Being aware of these stages allows teachers to curtail their actions to meet the needs and desires of their students.
2) As a preschool teacher, I should be encouraging initiative in my students. I should create an environment in which the children can independently find challenges and rise to meet them. My job during their self-discovery is to ensure that failures and missteps are viewed without blame and are seen by the child as an opportunity to grow and learn.

2.I work in a toddler class where the kids are working on their identity.I will apply positive approach like appreciation and gently explain the consequence of a bad behavior instead of punishing them or giving offensive comments might create insecurity and dislike towards the environment.So i will be cautious not to do it

1. Erikson’s stages of social and emotional development are important becuase children go through many different stages in life and a some go through difficult times where they don't know how to explain their feelings. knowing the importance of what each child may need during a certain time of age in their life is important for any teacher.
2. I will put Erikson’s stages of social and emotional development into play for my 3-5 year olds. Each student goes through something daily. Putting their needs of learning or fundamental skills first as individuals will help them form trust and be able to reflect on choices and decisions that they make.
