MORALITY IN THE YOUNG CHILD

MORALITY IN THE YOUNG CHILD
· STANDARDS OF MORALITY
· MILESTONES OF MORALITY
· THEORIES
Morality in the young child is centered around the development of the conscience, which is one of the superegos addressed earlier in this lesson.
Psychoanalytic Theory
Psychoanalytic Theory, developed by Sigmund Freud, stresses the emotional side of conscience development, especially identification and guilt as motivators of good conduct. This occurs in stages.
1/4
· A child obeys superego to avoid guilt, a painful emotion experienced when a child is tempted to misbehave.
Social Learning Theory
Social Learning Theory focuses on how moral behavior is learned through reinforcement and modeling. Unlike the psychoanalytic theory, it does not have unique stages; rather, morality is acquired gradually like other sets of responses
OPERANT CONDITIONING
MODELING
CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD MODEL
CONSEQUENCES OF INADEQUATE MODELS
Cognitive Developmental Theory
· THINKING AND REASONING
· SOME RULES ARE MORE IMPORTANT
· SOME CHOICES ARE NEITHER GOOD NOR BAD
· RIGID MORAL REASONING
Cognitive Development Theory emphasizes thinking and a child’s ability to reason about justice and fairness and other social rules. By preschool, children make moral judgments about what is right or wrong. Sometimes, children have well-developed ideas, like whether a person intentionally wants to hurt or frighten or embarrass another. They understand that this individual is more deserving of punishment, compared to the child that unintentionally does one of those things (hurt or embarrass). Children approve of telling truth and disapprove of lying.
Gender-Role Development
Gender role development revolves around the child’s perception of the characteristics and behaviors identified with being a female or male. Children identify with a specific gender role based on both biological and environmental factors and influences.

what clinical questions can you pose about your experience in clinical settings?

 
Using the PICOT format, what clinical questions can you pose about your experience in clinical settings? Do not hesitate to let me know your questions as this is a tricky topic!
PICOT Format:
In _______(P), how does_______(I) compared to _______(C) affect _______ (O) within ______ (T)?
In this post we are going to develop our own PICOT which you might think about as a little nursing research question of your own. Choose a population that you are familiar with/passionate about, and that population might be nurses or patients. You will want to also tell us a little background about your topic and why you think it is important. Search the databases to find a good research study or two that helps you investigate this PICOT question. There are so many great topics for PICOT questions like bedside report, barcoding and medications errors, hourly rounding, self scheduling, skin to skin contact for infants, and many more. Keep in mind though that you will want to choose a nursing topic that you can accomplish without an order from a doctor. We want this to be nurse driven. Jump right in!
Once you have written you PICOT question, use the two articles you found for your Annotated Bibliography assignment.

Speech language pathologists, special educators, and related providers working with children with language delays, hearing impairments, or other variables that affect typical language development use empirically supported strategies to increase language skills and teach sign languages. These strategies may have implications for typically developing children as well. Research suggests that before a baby’s first word, his or her receptive (listening and comprehension) language skills are more developed compared to productive (speech) skills. Tomasello (2003) writes that infants use gestures before they can speak, sometimes even using a combination of word and gesture before they can express multiple-word utterances. Although infants’ cognitive development limits language production at this point, and there are also physical limitations related to vocal cord development, what if the understanding and gesturing ability they do have could be harnessed and augmented through instruction?
Some researchers who work with signed languages have explored their use with hearing infants in this in-between stage to increase infants’ ability to communicate with caregivers. There are several commercially available products of adapted sign language that parents can use to teach their infants. From a practical perspective, this application has the potential to decrease guessing what infants need or want (e.g., if a child can sign that her diaper is wet). Researchers are also interested in learning whether there are cognitive or language development benefits to children that first learn to sign.
For this Discussion, you consider the potential benefits and limitations of using sign language with hearing infants.
To prepare:
· Review the two websites on baby sign language in this week’s Learning Resources. Both are commercial products for parents and other caregivers to use when implementing signing with hearing infants.
· Perform research in the Walden Library and other reputable academic sources to research the effectiveness of baby signing as well as its effects on verbal language and cognitive development.
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 4
Post an argument either for or against the use of “baby signs” with infants. Justify your argument by providing evidence from the literature about the effects of baby sign language on verbal language development and cognitive development. Does it help or hinder a child’s language development? Has research demonstrated that it positively or negatively effects a child’s cognitive development?

Provide a brief review of recent literature on the selected population or clinical issue (e.g., depression).

The purpose of this paper is to develop appropriate research skills to ensure that effective treatment strategies are selected on the basis of review of professional literature when developing a counseling group.
Hypothetical Scenario:
You have been hired as a clinical mental health counselor. Your agency asks you to do a needs assessment to determine which clinical population (defined by age, gender, clinical presenting issue, or other criteria) could best be served by the formation of a new counseling group. In speaking with fellow counselors and surveying clients, you see a clear need for a group that pertains to (enter your choice here). Your administrator first asks you to conduct a review of literature to ensure that evidence-based practices include group counseling for this particular specialty population.
Tasks:
Seek topic approval from your instructor to ensure that your topic is narrow enough. After conducting a review of the literature, address the following:

  • This paper has four content sections:
    • Provide a brief review of recent literature on the selected population or clinical issue (e.g., depression).
    • Analyze group theory, techniques, and interventions that are evidence-based recommendations for the selected population or clinical issue (e.g., effectiveness of group counseling with depression). Explain the need for a variety of techniques and interventions.
    • Identify and explain cultural and developmental considerations for the specific population that the group will include (e.g., Latina adolescents in group counseling).
    • Analyze ethical and legal considerations for group counseling especially relevant to the selected specific population or clinical issue (e.g., confidentiality with groups or ethical/legal issues working with minors).
  • The topic of this special topic paper will be the same population or clinical issue used in the group counseling proposal assignment in M6 Assignment 2 LASA.
  • Your final submission should be an 8- to 10-page paper (including the cover page and references) in a Microsoft Word document. Cite a minimum of five scholarly sources. At least one of your references should be from the Journal for Specialists in Group Work. Use the most current APA format.
