Tommy is a 6-year-old boy that will not eat anything except chicken nuggets, cheese sandwiches, and sugary foods — all foods that are highly processed in carbohydrates. His parents have given up on trying to introduce him to new foods, because they are tired of the battle. Furthermore, they reason that Tommy seems healthy enough, is not overweight, and there is no need to worry. However, after a while, Tommy’s parents begin noticing that his energy is erratic, focus at school (1st grade) is getting worse, and emotional tantrums were increasing. Which of the 12 “principles of child development that inform practice” do you think would be the most helpful for Tommy’s parents to understand?

Which of the 12 “principles of child development that inform practice” do you think would be the most helpful for Tommy’s parents to understand? Principle 1. All the domains of development and learning — physical, social, and emotional, and cognitive — are important, and they are closely interrelated. Children’s development and learning in one domain influence and are influenced by what takes place in other domains. Principle 2. Many aspects of children’s learning and development follow well documented sequences, with later abilities, skills, and knowledge building on those already acquired Principle 6. Development proceeds toward greater complexity, self-regulation, and symbolic or representational capacities. Principle 11. Development and learning advance when children are challenged to achieve at a level just beyond their current mastery, and also when they have many opportunities to practice newly acquired skills.
