Question

1) Bubbles in the Bowl: Using Developmental Theory to Design Potty Training:

Potty training a child is an important, and sometimes stressful, milestone for both parent and child. Scores of products and training schedules have been touted as breakthroughs over the years, with some claiming that a child can be trained by the age of 1, and in only a few days.
This exercise is designed to help you bring the major developmental theories to life by considering how parents, working from each of the grand and emerging theoretical perspectives, would be advised to toilet train their child.   Let's apply developmental theory to practical issues in biosocial development! For this question, you will design a potty training plan derived from each theory of development. A behaviorist, for instance, might note that a good way to toilet train children is to make the process entertaining and rewarding, perhaps by occasionally pouring colored shampoo into the bowl. Urinating into the bowl will be positively reinforced by the colorful bubbles that result. For each theory, briefly state (theories are numbered 1-5 below):

developmental issues that might influence toilet training (e.g., muscular control, cognitive maturity)

practical tips for promoting success (e.g., pour colored shampoo in the toilet so that urinating causes colorful bubbles to form)

possible causes of failure (e.g., neural immaturity, cultural values)
1. Psychoanalytic theory
2. Behaviorism
3. Cognitive theory
4. Sociocultural theory
5. Universal theories (humanism and evolutionary theory)
