Answer 1

• 1.Vygotsky's social cultural cognitive theory advances that culture and social interactions are equally important in development.According to Vygotsky, learning occurs primarily within social interactions and what is learned depends upon the child's culture.
• 2. Kohlberg's developmental theory explains moral developlment in children.
• 3.Wants to play "mom" and "dad", would not be a typical social/emotional milestone for five-year-old children
• 4.All of the above would be a typical cognitive milestone for two-year-old children.Children around this age are able to find things that are hidden,sort objects easily by shape and color play simple make-believe games,copies others especially their parents,solve puzzles etc.
• 5.Authoritative parenting style allows children to make their own decisions with minimal input from parents.This kind of parenting style makes a child independent and self reliant,who make their own decisions.They are less likely to engage in antisocial behaviour,as parents strike a balance between being nurturers as well as setting high expectations from their children to make them strong and independent.
