Select one of the theorists discussed in this chapter. You could focus in on Piaget, Bowlby, Ainsworth, Erikson, or even discuss Skinner or Chomsky's views on language development. Drawing on outside sources, expand a bit on their theories concerning the first 3 years of life. Do you think their theory accurately reflects the infant experiences of you or someone you know? (For example, have you seen Piaget's first stage in your own child, a younger sibling, or a child of a friend or family member? Or, do your parents remember what your own attachment style as a toddler was?)
