Perze Family Case study

Lucia who is 9 months old is in the age group from birth to 18 months. Mark who is two and a half years old is in the age group 18 months to 3 years. Ariana who is ten years old is in the age group of 6 to 12 years. Carlos who is 15 years old is in the age group of 12 to 18 years. Question 2 Based on the above case study, we can categorize the individuals in their psychological development according to Erikson's theory. This is evident in Lucia where she is interacting with objects by frequently putting objects into her mouth trying to feel their taste. It is an indication that their memory is growing. At this stage, children begin crawling and use of trial and error to interact with objects.

This stage is characterized by the child gaining trust and confidence with her environment. This is evident in Lucia who is often happy and enjoys playing peekaboo with her siblings. An individual may start feeling that parents are not the complete authorities who they ones were before. This is evident in the case study because Ariana is struggling to gain knowledge in Mathematics. She feels that her parents are not the complete authority of her life since they want her to take piano lessons which she has no interest in instead she wants to take horseback riding lessons. Carlos is in the adolescent stage. This stage runs from the 12 to 18 years. At the age of 7 or 9 months, the child's memory starts to develop and the child starts believing that objects are in existence even if they cannot be seen or touched.

At this stage, the child starts to crawl and stand. At the age of 18 months, the child starts to learn how to communicate. The preoperational stage runs from the age of 2 years up to the age of 7 years. At this stage, the child's language greatly improves, their memory develops and begins to imagine things. The parents are the ones who should spend more time with the children so that they can monitor the development of their children. Also, the siblings who grow together with children can affect the health and development of a child. In the case of Lucia, she lays with her siblings who make her happy. If a child is not happy with those he or she grows with, it can affect the development of that child.
