    After she failed to put on her shoes, she ran toward her mother for help, but her mother showed how to wear a similar shoe in her own feet and then asked Khushi to try wearing the shoe again by herself. This is an example of Ericson 's theory because one of the stage of his theory of psychosocial development explains that in early childhood, parents allow their childrens to become independent and explore the limits of their abilities such as helping them put on their cloths and shoes by themselves (Berk, 256). Another example of emotional development that I noticed while observing was when Khushi 's mother turn on television and starts watching a serial.

This is an example of emotional development because according to the book “As with infants and toddlers, preschoolers who experience negative emotion intensely find it harder to shift attention away from disturbing events and inhabit their feelings” (Berk,

During this stage children are beginning to learn how to color, use scissors, write, and possibly tie their own shoes. Children will develop hand eye coordination as well as the ability to manipulate objects to accomplish what they want. My development was especially slow in this area. I did not begin to write legible words until I was five almost six years old. I still to this day, cannot cut a straight line and I could not color in the lines until I was about ten years old. I have always struggled with hand eye coordination and anything requiring the ability to manipulate a small object.
