Reflect on the below listed 3 Lifespan Development Topics (approx. 1.5 pages per topic).
1 .Families during Middle Childhood ( I am a female single child in a two-parent family – 18 years old)
Two-parent family
– Work best on average; children learn better in school; few psychological problems
– Education, earning potential, and emotional maturity increase the rate of marriage and parenthood and decrease the rate of divorce.
– Major predictor of their children’s well-being was not the parents’ sexual orientation but their income and stability; contact increases affection and care
– Shared parenting decreases child maltreatment risk
2. Adolescence: Close relationships – peer pressure
– School-age children value personal friendship
more than peer acceptance.
– Intense and intimate friendships improve with
advances in social cognition and effortful control.
– By the end of middle childhood, close friendships
are almost always between children of the same
sex, age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status.
3. Adulthood: Friends and Acquaintances
Everyone is part of a social convoy.
– Group of people who age together and provide a protective layer of social relations throughout life
• Family members
• Friends
• Acquaintances
• Strangers
– When family bonds are similar to friendship bonds, relatives are the mainstays of the social convoy.
