Conclusion
From the Paper:
"The beginning of the theoretical and practical exploration of child development began in essence with the fairly recent recognition of children as developmentally unique and progressively different to adults. As one commentator notes, "Children were often viewed simply as small versions of adults and little attention was paid to the many advances in cognitive abilities, language usage, and physical growth." (Van Wagner )"Intense interest in the field of child development really began in the early Twentieth Century. However, the tendency in earlier psychological theory, especially with regard to the theories of Sigmund Freud, was to focus on child development from the perspective of abnormal developmental issues. This stance has since been adjusted and ameliorated by many contemporary theorists, such as Piaget and Eriksson.
