Child Psychology Final Project

For this project, you will be choosing a media source-movie, TV/YouTube series, book, etc. that features a child between ages 3-10 as one of the main characters and comparing what you observe in that child’s development to 3 separate child development theories studied in this course.

This assignment is due WEDNESDAY of week 4.

Part I - Describe the Media

In this section, you will write your introduction paragraph explaining the purpose/thesis of the paper.

You will then write a detailed summary of the series you chose to review and use for this project. Make sure the source you choose adequately demonstrates several aspects of child development.

Part II – Write your analysis of the child’s development and compare to 3 separate theories of child development

As you prepare to write your paper try to identify the child’s functioning as it compares to normative information found in the text (e.g., Piaget’s stages of cognitive development, standard physical characteristics such as height and weight categories, Brown’s stages of language development, Kohlberg’s moral development stages, etc.) and/or your other readings (be sure to include appropriate citations).

Write a well-integrated paper (be sure to use APA format) that includes an analysis of this child’s functioning as it compares to at least three (3) of the theories of child development presented in the book over the areas of functioning mentioned above (social, cognitive, emotional/psychological, sensory/perceptual, moral, physical, and motor). In other words, you will use at least three (3) different theories of development to explain the child’s social, cognitive, emotional/psychological, sensory/perceptual, moral, physical, or motor functioning.  Discuss any discrepancies you discover or other influences that may explain functioning unique to the child you observed. Conclude your paper with a thorough and comprehensive conclusion paragraph.

Be sure to use three (3) scholarly sources in addition to your textbook(4 total sources). You may use sources from your annotated bibliography. Your paper is expected to be at least 1,200 words but no more than 2,000 words. You must list the word count of the body of the paper, not including the references page or title page.
