1. Summarize through writing physical development in childhood.

In this unit, we will be studying childhood development. In addition to the six readings in this unit, I recommend the following videos and websites to get you started on our topic.

Please start the unit by watching “By Leaps and Bounds” from The Whole Child video series, which give you an overview of physical development in childhood. The “Getting Along Together” video will discuss childhood social development.

To learn more about cognitive development in childhood, watch “The Secret Life of the Brain: The Child’s Brain” from PBS:

After completing the readings in Unit 3 and further researching the topic, post a two-paragraph response to the following:

In the reading, you learned about four types of parenting styles: authoritarian, authoritative, uninvolved, and permissive.

· Flexibility: Counselors practice a client-centered approach, and align treatment to the client’s goals for therapy.

· Patience: Counselors understand the therapeutic process and respect client’s efforts to gain control over their lives. Counselors encourage an environment that promotes self-empowerment and allows client’s voice in the therapeutic process.

· Amiability: Counselors do not support or engage in any act of discrimination against a prospective, current, or former client. Counselors promote and practice social justice and do not exploit others in their professional relationships.

· Professional Identity: Counselors adhere to regulatory state boards and nationally recognized codes of ethics. Counselors practice only within their scope and competencies. They seek to utilize best practices and empirically supported treatments. Counselors stay current with the counseling profession through seeking continuing education, and by supporting counseling associations.
