Document Summary
Dual connection of connectedness and separateness that begins from the moment of birth and remains with us through life. 2 social worlds of childhood: 1) adults 2) peers. Different types of goals/interactions/relationships with the parents and peers. Different parental behaviour, and children"s success in adapting their everyday activity. Adaptive traits = assume all parents to encourage their children. These traits are called instrumental competence (goals to want children to be instrumentally competent) Social responsibility = friendly, not hostile to other. Independence = behaviour which is ascendant rather than submissive, purposeive as opposed to aimless, self- determining as opposed to conforming. Achievement orientation = achieve academically, seek intellectual stimulation and challenges, and try to solve problems in a persistent and efficient way, as opposed to in impulse. Vitality = child will have a certain level of biological energy and vigorous appearance. Interested to see what parenting skills to promote instrumental competence.
