Personal and Moral Development

Lily and I did the reading for this week together and we also discussed some thing that we thought were interesting to us from the modules. On module 3 we liked to read about Erikson's developmental stages, and just compare the examples with children that surrond us. I noticed my baby already does things form stage 3, eventhough he is a toddler. But he loves to help clean and carry things around to help us. On module 5 we thought the social-information processing was interesting. The interpretation of cues to be more specific, and how teenagers (and maybe even some adults) interpret something as intentional, opposed to accidental. On Model 2 the divorce rates and it's consequences stood out to us, especially when we relate it to the Gospel. It is very sad to know that 50% of first marriages end in divorce, and that a lot of chilren are going to grow up in single parent homes. We are not making assumptions or stereotyping single parents families. Having the Gospel in our lives we know just how extremelly important it is for families to stay strong in the days we are living.
