Toddler
The subject is a two and a half year old boy, he has one older brother who is five. His father is an electrician, while his mother works part-time at a travel agency. He spends most days at home with his grandmother, who baby-sits the subject when his mother is at work. The family are Polish immigrants and speak primarily Polish in the home. His older brother attends preschool and is was not around during the observational study. The study took place at the playground that is part of the apartment complex where the subject lives, and where I performed the study. The subject is familiar with me, as I also live in the complex and interact with the subject and his parents. His father and mother are my friends and allowed me to observe the subject during his "play time."
The subject arrived with the grandmother at the playground around 2 pm, and immediately ran to play with other children who were already there. There were five other children, all were several years older than the subject, except for one child who was only a few months older. At first the subject tried to keep up with the older children, but due to his size, inability to climb very well, and lack of coordination on some of the more difficult aspects of the playground, the subject eventually broke off and played almost exclusively with another younger child. They immediately went to some of the other rides, ones that were built for younger children. The two remained playing together for the entire hour.
The subject did not interact with the grandmother until some of the older children were playing on the swings and he wanted to join them. The subject lacked the ability to speak in full sentences and because of this, the subject simply grabbed his grandmother's hand and pulled her toward the swings. At first the subject is reluctant to be pushed too high, but then after a while the subject gets over fear of swinging high,...
Toddlers also consistently failed to recognize the importance of the shelf being inserted into the screen when searching for the ball. When asked to find the ball, however, they consistently searched in the location where they initially saw the object (Hood, et al. 2000, 1540). These startling finds suggest the need for further research and study into this topic. Initially, research must determine whether or not these results are mistakes.
Positive and Neg. Rein Toddler Social learning theory has given parenting and child development a new lease on life. With the current focus in psychology, and more specifically child psychology, many researchers, educators, child-care providers and parents have gained a new understanding of the intricacies of positive and negative reinforcement and the impact both have upon children.

Given that archetypes appear consistent across dreamers, the impact that culture has on the meaning of archetypes and dreams, and the fact that mourners consistently have the four types of grief dreams, it seems logical that culture would impact the appearance and interpretation of archetypes in dreams. For example, given that, culturally, the mother plays a more central role in the African-American family than the father, it would seem that
