Effy Stonem is a fictional character in the British TV show called Skins. This aired from 2007-2013. Throughout the series Effy is very withdrawn and aloof. She has an older brother named Tony, who during the show gets in a horrible accident. The experience was very traumatic and unsettling for her. This completely changes Effy and she begins to open a little more to others. In the process of this, her parents end up divorcing. The stress of both events causes her to spiral further and further into a deep depression. She spends most of her time partying, taking drugs, and not taking care of herself. I choose to discuss how Sigmund Freud relate to Effy Stonem’s development later in life. Based on his theory, parents who give too much or too …show more content…
They basically create their own ideas of how things work by trial and error. Whether this is discovering new toys or observing new sounds (Berk, 2018). From ages 2-7 this is the Preoperational stage where preschoolers start using symbols to represent any sensorimotor discoveries. They start using make believe play and began to development language skills (Berk, 2018). By the Concrete Operational stage, this is from the ages of 7-11 years, where children began to develop better reasoning skills that become more logical over time. (Berk, 2018). By the Formal Operational stage which is from 11 years and onward, this is where the development of abstract and systemic thinking occurs. By the time of adolescence, there is the ability to form a hypothesis, conduct inferences, and combine the variables as well (Berk, 2018). It is interesting to note that Effy’s development from the preoperational years must have never developed properly. It is never discussed in full detail, but throughout most of the series Effy would simply not speak. While it was notated that she was taken to a counselor to be evaluated as to why she would not speak, no issues were ever determined. It was not until after her brother’s horrific accident that she began to talk again. I imagine that Effy’s lack of language skills had a major effect on her wellbeing as a child. As Piaget discusses throughout his theories of cognitive development in children, it is crucial that they begin to develop proper skills and learn how to deal with certain issues. With Effy not properly developing her language skills, this caused her formal operation stage to be quite the struggle. During this time she continued to experience extremely difficult situations and I believe she simply had not developed enough capacity to handle these issues with

The first stage is called sensorimotor which defines behaviors associated with infants up to two years of age. During the sensorimotor stage, children are seeking everything in which they can obtain a new taste, sound, feeling, and sight. Generally, children do not have understanding of these new experiences; it is more of exposure. The second stage is called preoperational which includes children from ages two through seven. “Children at this stage understand object permanence, but they still don’t get the concept of conservation. They don’t understand that changing a substance’s appearance doesn’t change its properties or quantity” (Psychology Notes HQ, 2015, Section Preoperational Stage). Piaget conducted an experiment with water, two identical glasses and a cylinder. Piaget poured the same amount of water in the two glasses; the children responded that there was indeed the same amount of water in the two glasses. He then took the two glasses of water and poured them into the cylinder. When asked if the tall beaker contained the same amount of water, the children responded that the beaker had more water than the glass. However, by the age of seven years of age, children can understand more complex and abstract concepts. At this point, the child is operating in the concrete operational stage. Children also can learn different rules; sometimes, they lack the understanding associated with those rules. When a child
The stages are sensorimotor stage (birth to age two (2)), pre- operational stage (from two (2) to age seven (7)), concrete operational stage (from age (7) to age (11)), and formal operational stage (age eleven (11) to adulthood). The subject’s current cognitive stage is concrete operational. The concrete operational stage of development is the begin of thought processes. During this stage of development a child can use logical thought or operations (i.e. rules) but can only apply logic to physical objects (hence concrete operational) (McLeod). In other words, during this stage, a child will gain a better understanding of mental operations. Logical thinking of concrete events and objects begins at this stage. Conversely, difficulty with abstract thinking and concepts will
Sensorimotor stage (birth – 2 years old) – Children begin to make sense of the world around them based on their interaction with their physical environment. Reality begins to be defined.
In the second stage, preoperational, the child begins to exemplify the world with words and images that show increased representative thinking. They improve at symbolic thought, though they can’t yet reason.
She was sent to a non-social work environment which had numerous work barriers. The people she was assigned to work with showed her little to no support, which frustrated her efforts. She wanted to quit but thought about the hope the same people she was helping had lost.
Children's Increasing linguistic skills open the way for greater socialization of action and communication with others. From the ages of seven to twelve. years, children begin the development of logic, although they can only perform logical operations on concrete objects and events. In adolescence, children enter the formal operational stage, which continues throughout the rest of their lives. Children develop the ability to perform abstract intellectual operations, and reach.

Eilis’ hidden love life in America is what drastically shaped the character’s life in all aspects. By marrying Tony, she was not only forced to continue living with her husband in America but also leave everything she had developed from her new personality in Ireland. This is evident during Eilis’ departure back to Brooklyn where she attempts to make it “silent” (251). Typically when moving silently, it is intended to not be noticed or heard. The fact that Eilis wants to be unheard contributes to the knowledge she has that is associated with the guilt of leaving Ireland.

During this stage, children will be building up their incidents or encounters through adaptation and slowly move on to the next stage of the development as they are not able to have logical or transformational ideas in the preoperational stage (Mcleod, 2009).
Finally, the formal operational period is a time for the child and adult to continue improving their ability to organize ideas, deductive reason, and understand mentally more ideas (Boyd and Bee, 2006). The breakdown of these stages can show how an individual’s cognitive development happens over a set of years. We cannot expect a child to reason in the same fashion as an adult client. Yet again, not every child should be placed in certain periods just due to their age. Some children may fall above or below the stage their chronological age falls
