Psychology Discussion

17-month-old Amanda keeps running up to the full-length mirror in her parents’ room and trying to hug the little girl she sees there. Given what you now know about a child’s emotional and social development, explain why Amanda is doing this. (You should also explain why she just recently started doing this, and how her behavior might change over the coming months.)

Do you have any similar stories to share? Think about your own children, nieces or nephews, neighbors’ children, any children you’ve watched grow and develop. What changes did you see?

Reference appropriate concepts we’ve covered thus far in describing emotional and social development.
