I was Born
-
Infancy/ Emotional Development
According to my family my temperament as a baby was vocal but happy and mostly calm. -
Infancy/ emotional Development
I was securely attached to my caregivers. -
Infancy/Physical
I began to walk a little before age one. My grandmother always made the joke that I have been walking and talking since birth :) -
Early Childhood/ Cognitive
My parents often spoke to me as if I were older rather than a kid and asked questions so I would engage in conversation. As for my teachers, I remember it being a goal in our class to be able to tell a complete story about our weekend every Monday. -
Early Childhood/Emotional Development
As a child I was described as sneaky, but outgoing and a little bit stubborn. I think in comparison to my description as an infant, I still maintained the same traits, but had learned what I would and wouldn't get in trouble for. -
Early Childhood/ Cognitive
As a child my favorite things to play with were baby dolls. At the time, whenever my mom or family member would buy me a new baby I thought it was real and wanted it to be fed and bathed just as I was. I think it does fall within the concept formation and categorization theory because, I had very generalized thought of babies based on how I, my self, was taken care of. -
Early Childhood/ Physical
Throughout Childhood, I was active by being outside or going to daycare. Living with my great grandparents for most of my childhood, I developed a love for gardening and playing outside. During this time, playing was never really considered exercise for me and I really enjoyed it. Return post it- while doing this I often used more fine motor skills such as planting seeds, and picking flowers, while developing Gross motor skills such as walking and running. -
Early Childhood/ Emotional
My parents got divorced when I was five. -
Adolescence/ Physical
I began puberty at the very start of adolescence which seemed to be fairly close to my peers. I think if it had any impact, it improved my social stance and I developed faster than most of peers physically. -
Adolescence/Cognitive
My 8th grade year in middle school, I made my first B on a test since I had been in school. It was on a test that would determine what track I would be put on in high school. I remember comparing to my peers and figured out that I was one of few in the class who had made a B on this exam. Of course I was "devastated," but I decided that my Intelligence as a whole wasn't based on that exam and even though I felt bad about my self in that moment, it didn't mean I wasn't good enough. -
Adolescence/Physical
During adolescence, I exercised almost everyday through extracurricular activities like cheer and gymnastics. I liked to exercise, but never really actually saw it as exercising. Return post it- at this age I definitely worked my Gross motor skills quite a bit. Developing a passion for cheer and gymnastics meant working my muscles in new ways such as, tumbling, jumping and control. -
Adolescence
Baby brother was born ! -
Emotional/Adolescence
Sternberg would have described my closest relationship during this time as infatuation or "puppy love" -
Adolescence
Car Accident -
Adolescence
Graduation from High school -
Early Adulthood/ Emotional Development
I would describe my closest relationship to be a secure attachment with a lot of trust and mutual desire to support one another. I would also say that there is a since of dependence from both sides . -
Early Adulthood/ Physical
I tend to actually exercise maybe two times a week. I like to work out more now than I did before, but definitely have less drive to do so because it is seen as more of a chore than when it was a part of my everyday life. Return post it - During the activities I consider to be exercise, I am often working my Gross motor skills. Usually I practice a disciplined work out in a gym if I am going to partake in physical activity. -
Emotional/ Early Adulthood
I think the most appropriate relationship for me now according to Sternberg would be a Companionate relationship. -
Early Adulthood
Grandmother passes from Alzheimer's disease.
