Why? Share your answers with your small group.

Answers:

If I would give a chance to choose what developmental stages I would like

to be, I will choose the “Late Childhood” because despite being young at
that stages the burdens, responsibility, and problems are very minimal and
the only thing you cared about is your family, your games, and your school
friends. And also I choose “late childhood” because I didn’t care what
happening in the society, I didn’t feel if there’s a problem with my family or
etcetera.

Prenatal and Infancy song

LULLABY

by BILLY JOEL

You left faster than expected

You got what you wanted
A peaceful ending
We live on through your memory
I am my father's son
You'll never be forgotten
Finding peace through this instrumental
Going through old pictures
Blaming myself
I was there for every step
Every appointment
You never lost your personality
I felt so alone
But thinking of you brings me home
Apart of me is missing tears dripping
Feeling guilty
Finding closure
Signing your death certificate
Organizing your funeral
I wasn't ready saying goodbye to my idol
I paid for everything
 All I got back was some resentment
I'm missing your guidance
Family I haven't spoken to in years
Calling me saying their sorry
I want to keep the peace but I don't want to hear it
Your guilt isn't my problem
Speaking about it

Early Childhood and Middle Late Childhood

Ako ay may Lobo,

lumipad sa langit diko na Makita

pumutok na pala, sayang

ang pera ko pambili ng lob

o kung pagkain

sana nabusog pa ako.

Adolescent and Early Childhood

No way

No class, no job
I'm just a victim of society, a slob

Gotta go home and jack off instead

No mind, no kind
My brain is jelly and my memory is blind
No way, no way
Cannot live in a world this gay

I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad

Carry you around when your arthritis is bad

Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold
Need you
Feed you
Even let you hold the remote control
So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink

Reflection:

1. Reflect on your early childhood, middle and late days. Were you able to
acquire the developmental tasks expected of early, middle, late childhood and
adolescence? What facilitated your acquisitions of the ability to perform such
tasks? Write your reflections.

Answers:

I was basically an adult by nine, I started speaking when I was in 8

months, I sang a song when I was 2, I could read at 4 or 5 years of aged,
I skipped a grade when I was 7. I having a crush when I was a 11 years
old, and when I was at 13 years old I tried to leave home but I didn’t
succeed.
When I’m 19 years old I was in love with a girl. The facilitated of my
development is being a ray one soul, having an excellent memory and
strong mental will.

2. Having a mastered the developmental tasks of early childhood, middle and

late childhood and adolescence, reflect on what you should as a teacher to
facilitate your students acquisition of these developmental tasks. Write down
your reflections.

Answers:

If it is a developmental skill, a student’s won’t be able to learn it until

they are ready, as a teacher I can to my students is to realize students
are on their own developmental time line and even though in general
students of a certain age are at a certain level all may not be. As a
teacher I can teach them the developmental skills, I can also encourage
them and feed them once the child is ready and so the best thing that
teachers do is be aware of what skills actually are developmental, and
then be sensitive and responsive to the needs of individual students in
the class.
