Brain Development and Learning

Question: Discuss about theBrain Development and Learning. Answer: Introduction The early experiences in a child life lay the foundation for the childs mental health and social wellbeing. According to Bowlby and Ainsworth 2013, the secure attachment style is established when the caregivers understand the childs need and responses and develop a warm, intimate relationship. The secure attachment in children not only develops independence but also the emotional and social wellbeing that helps to explore the world. It helps the child to grow and develop feeling of safety, trust in the relationships they develop in future. The emotional and social wellbeing is also associated with brain development in children. According to Powell et al. 2013, the positive behavior, academic achievement and better mental health are associated with emotional and social wellbeing along with brain development in children. The circle of security helps in developing the children and parent emotional relationships. The above theories stated that the physical, mental, emotional wellbeing along with learning cognitive aspects is a holistic approach. They are key aspects to childs learning beyond academics with social and emotional wellbeing. As stated by Eriksons stages of psychosocial development, a person passes through eight stages in their entire life that determines ones development and learning in association with the external environment (Darling-Fisher and Leidy 2015). The learning and development are intertwined and should practice, incorporate ideas to recognize connections and influences between society, family, community and therefore, the society as a whole matter in learning and development in a child.
