Discussion Post: Human Growth & Development- Introductory to Psychology

Your character has reached middle childhood. Let's think about your character's social development and the influence of their home environment. What is self concept? Describe their self-concept and how this self-concept has changed from toddlerhood and early childhood. You will need to draw from multiple textbook chapters (toddler, early childhood, middle childhood) to accurately answer this question. Be sure to identify and highlight multiple areas of your character's self-concept. Draw from the textbook and include in-text citations.

Also discuss your character's self-esteem. What is self-esteem? How does it manifest for your character? In what ways does your character's parental attachment style influence your character's self-esteem? How might your character's racial/ethnic/cultural background influence their self-esteem? Draw from the textbook and include in-text citations.

Based on your character's self-esteem and self-concept, is s/he likely to be a bully, a victim of bullying, or neither. Why? Use supporting evidence from the textbook.

Finally, consider your character's parental income, relationship status, and number of other children. Discuss the challenges or benefits your character might face during middle childhood as a result of their socioeconomic status, parental relationship status, and number of siblings. Use supporting evidence from the textbook.
