Observation task
that it was hard for her, she looked like she was suffering to stay on the
line. The fifth activity was run, I made her ran 30 feet, she did it but when
she reached to the end, she was Breathing fast. According to Meggitt
checklist Ghaya can do all this activities since she is 4 years old, and
Ghaya actually did it, but the only activity she couldnt do it was bouncing
the ball.
Analysis
I think that Ghaya reached the correct development stage (Pre-Operations Stage),
because she act like the other children in her age. Ghaya did what is on Maggit checklist, but
there is one skill she couldnt do it, bouncing the ball, but I dont think one skill will affect
her development or make her behind the other children in her age, I think she can be ahead
the other children in her age. I think that the nature and nurture are both the greater affect the
child development, and nature and nurture are intertwined, one cannot exist without the other.
For example if a child have very good playing football skills, from the nature side his brother
trained him very well, and from the other side nurture his father was a football player in the
past. He can be could be gain the football skills from his father or from the training he had
with his brother.
In Conclusion, Gesell & Thelen had different opinions, Gesell though that
child development is unfold it keeps developing and Thelen though both
nature and nurture effects on the child, in some points Gesell was right
and Thelen too was right.
