Identify three theories of development related to the age stage(s)

For example, you may select Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. Briefly describe his theory, the stage which represents the unit (e.g. infancy-sensorimotor stage). After explaining the theory provide an example from the movie showing how it applies. Do this for three different theories. You should also find other theories within the chapters as well. For example, during the infancy stage you might select the dynamics systems theory (p.86).

Concepts, principles, research, and/or milestones

Select a fact/statistic, describe a concept, identify a milestone, and/or paraphrase research in each physical, cognitive, socio-emotional domains. Describe the fact, concept, milestone, or research and then provide an example from the film that demonstrates or contradicts the information.
