Title Page
- Introduction
Introduction to your lifespan span (birth through childhood)
- Overview of your two theorists and their theories
Body Paragraph One:
- Identify the parts of each theory that are relevant to this lifespan stage.
Body Paragraph Two:
- Discuss the similarities of the theorists and their theoretical stages in relation to this particular lifespan timespan.
Give specific examples of each of the similar stages. (How would an infant/toddler/early childhood child demonstrate that he/she was in X stage for X theorist, which parallels X stage for X theorist?)
- Body Paragraph Three:
Contrast the theoretical stages in relation to this particular lifespan stage. Where are there differences between what your two theorists believe?
Give specific examples of each of the stages where the theorists differ. (How would an infant/toddler/early childhood child demonstrate that he/she was in X stage for X theorist, but according to theorist #2, a child would behave like this in this stage?)
