You will be writing a short essay, 3-4 pages long, connecting Erikson and Piaget’s developmental theories to two children of different age groups that you know. Review the theories using the resources provided in your book, on Canvas or any other resources that are scholarly and appropriate. You will need to determine what stage the two children should be in according to both theories and if they are in the correct stage. You must work with, observe play and ask the children questions that will help you determine if they are in the correct stages according to both theories. This information: stages from both theories, questions or observations used to determine if they are in the correct stage, why and why not, MUST be incorporated into your paper. You must state how you would incorporate your finding into practice when caring for a child in the hospital.
