Sažetak
This paper presents psychosocial development of an individual from childhood to mature age, viewed through the prism of seven different developmental theories. Lav Vygotsky’s, Reuven Feuerstein’s, Albert Bandura’s, Eric Berne’s, Urie Bronfenbrenner’s, Howard Gardner’s and Viktor Frankl’s theories of child development have been briefly presented and carried through the life story. Psychology of child development as a discipline has been developing for some last hundred years and the above mentioned authors are the key people
who have influenced the attitudes of teachers, psychologists, educators and the society as a whole. Their theories have become the basis of numerous studies in different parts of the world. If, on the presented case, we compare all these theories, we can conclude how important it is that parents and other educators believe in child’s competencies, in his ability to identify his own affinities and abilities and how important it is to encourage the child in this search and at the same time to enable him to make independent decisions. In this way we encourage the development of child’s autonomy and responsibility to find his role in the world he lives in, to meet his own needs, to establish good relationships with his environment, to cope successfully with all life challenges and to discover the meaning of his own existence.
