why do you think there were so many theorists putting forward ideas about childs play at the start of 20th cen

Because there is a lot of study on how the brain and learning works with an emphasis on early brain development.  This research is being used to improve teaching techniqies.  I would think play would be a part of this research since it affects brain development.

Einstien came up with a theory which was by moving very quickly, beyond humans fathomable grip on speed, you can actually stop time and if faster then that, go BACK in time. crazy huh? well if its ever true, we wont know, cause no one in the future in their right MIND would ever want to go back in time to the 20th century. come on. why not stand in the crowd and watch jesus being stoned while carrying the cross or go back further to live amongst the first civilzation of man.

I think it was Rene Descartes who said "I think.  Therefore I am".\nBut maybe we're a game, that greater being play, like the Sims, and they use that option were you let them go on their own.\nbut if that's the case i got a question for you. I'll post it

Freud was considered the father of Psychology. He was the first to suggest that we go through psychological stages and he helped us to understand the development between these and how we should properly prepare our children so they do not become fixated with one or more stage. He introduced the Ego, Id and SuperEgo and explained how each has it's own driving force and needs. When Freud explained everything was somehow driven by some sort of sexual desire he brought sex to the minds of everyone. He was one of the first people to look at sexual desire as a normal thing, and not as a taboo. This encourage other psychologist to look into sexual desires, as well, and thats partially why its not so taboo now-a-days. I would further my research on the subject, however, if I were you. It's been over a year since I've learned about psychology theories and I might be a little off.

I think it's a good idea for students to see both (I'll call them "theories")  Use a comparison: Are students exposed to the writing style of Shakespeare only? Or, are they exposed to many writers?  If Ford was the only car offered for sale, how would a person know the points of other cars? The saying goes that "competition is healthy." Why not show more than one theory and let the student decide?

There were many ideas that returned to Europe from the Middle East of that time. One prime example would be the concept of 0 (zero) in mathematics which was a great leap for European scientists. The fork came back. New medical discoveries. Sugar. Advanced astronomy and physics. I can't think of anymore at this point, but I know there's more.

Well there are a number of reasons> \n1. They feel like there parents were so old when they had them. \n2. Peer pressure is a big factor. (But all the other kids are doing it)\n3. There life is surrounded by sex, drugs/alcohol, & lies and they don't know really which one to turn to.\n4. Some were raised up that way ("Have children now because i want some grandkids")\n5. Lastly, some were raped as a child and dont know where else to turn.\n\nSo there are many reasons, but i just gave you some.

The most novel idea, I think, is the carseat. But I'd like to know what happens if a bigger baby is sitting in it.\nIt looked like a bigger baby would hit his head on the sides, if it went into motion. \nI could be wrong, but that's just how it looked when it was being demonstrated. Otherwise. Great idea!\nAfter that, I like the game. Children, today, appear to need all the help they can get with spelling.

The formal operational stage occurs in children aged 11 years plus, according to Piaget. I've got a psychology folder on it, email me if you want any details.

It's a 50/50 prediction, isn't it?  I know that girls are more likely to be strong and survive at birth, though.  But, maybe since they used to do all that "first son and heir" stuff, there are more sons born first? Who knows.

In Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia citizens were urged to spy on each other.  Children were told to inform on their parents.  This sounds like the same thing.\nAMERIKA ERWACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, when I saw this question I immediately thought of DR. Spock.  I found an article that might be helpful for you, it is entitled "Little scientists: How young Children Think"\nis about cognitive development, several ideas.\n\nThis does not really answer your question, but it should give you an answer.\n\nhttp://www.drspock.com/article/0,1510,3899,00.html\n\nHope this helps,

I think that some cavewoman already came up with that one...most likely the cavemen had to make a truce and in turn lead to what we have today...archaic as it is with all of the games that some or most people want to play...But, if the right gal came along, and clubbed me over the head, that would be fine. :)

In 1897, Maria Montessori joined the staff of the University of Rome as a voluntary assistant. One of her responsibilities is what led her to develop her educational philosophy. She was to visit asylums for the insane where she came across feebleminded children, unable to function in schools or families. Montessori found the children very responsive to doing work with their hands and bodies. In 1901 she returned to the University of Rome with a desire to study the mind instead of the body. In 1904 she was offered a job teaching as the professor of anthropology at the University of Rome. She accepted but in 1906 gave the job up to work with sixty young children of working families. With these sixty children she started a "Children's House" in San Lorenzo Rome. This children's home was an environment that offered the children the opportunity to develop their activities (Kramer, 1976). She began to notice how the children absorbed knowledge almost effortlessly from their surroundings which helped inspire her lifelong pursuit of educational reform.\n\n\n\nTO READ MORE CLICK ON LINK BELOW:

By using units they understand like sharing sweets, marbles, biscuits cakes etc. It gives them something they can relate to.\nSuch as 26 children share 80 Smarties, how many does each child have? How many are left over for teacher? Do you think that's fair? Hold their interest, it works a treat.\nDon't be too quick to give the answer, give them a chance to think.

children should play with kids of the opposite sex. it's where they begin their socialization skills. if they never interact then how are they supposed to know how to behave around them. i think children need a variety of people, races and the other sex around them. gives them balance. teaches them tolerance. the more diverse their surroundings, the more easily they adapt to their environment! hope that helps. just my opinion. :)
