I think that my reaction to him would be considered appropriate because I am using an I-message, telling him that I expect him to behave a certain way, and rewarding him for his good behavior. Some may think that the spanking is inappropriate, but, “The general findings in the preschool years are that use of mild physical punishment of a slap or two on the buttocks with the flat of the hand does not cause problems in children behavior, but if punishment continues on when children enter school, then they are likely to become more aggressive and noncompliant.” (Brooks, 2013, p. 198) If spanking my child for misbehaving is just a temporary act, I think that it would be considered appropriate.

He ran out with her and upon arrival home, Jeanette once again cooked herself hotdogs because “...no one else was there to fix them for [her]” (Walls 15).

Although Rex and Rose Mary provide a roof over their children's heads or supply them with life-sustaining food, they are not present.

In addition, Thatcher (2011) mentioned that activities sought out by a child in this stage may include risk-taking behaviors, such as crossing a street alone or riding a bike without a helmet.

Relating this back to the case study, the child is most likely to be engaged in the initiative versus guilt stage.

For the parent-child interaction observation, I decided to use my community park as the public setting. My observation consisted of watching the interaction of a mother and her two sons, who seemed to be twins around the age of six or seven years old. I observed the interaction from afar without them being aware that I was observing, which allowed me to note a true naturalistic observation without manipulation of the situation. The setting of the interaction was a community park, where a mother and her two sons of Indian ethnicity, were approaching a basketball court area. The mother began to strap a helmet on one son because he was about to ride his bike, while the other son was walking alongside them holding a basketball.
