Can anyone give me the name of a Theorist who had a theory on physical development?

Question

I am looking for information on a Theorist whose theory was on physical development in 0 - 3 years olds. If anyone has any useful websites I would be most grateful.

Answer 1

TESTS OF TIME Readings in the Development of Physical Theory

Dolling, Lisa M.; Gianelli, Arthur F.; Statile, Glenn N.

You could try this, hope it is useful.

Other wise, Piaget states that cognitive development starts with the physical, so he is always a must reference when considering development in the under threes.

Answer 3

MARIA MONESSORI!!!!

THE Asorbant Mind

She was an AMAZING woman in the 1900's she was the firs woman to be admitted into medical school and had to get permision form the pope! She studied children after she saw that they were running the streets during the industrial revolution. She latter left italy because she disagreed with WW1/ WW2 and moved to india. She has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize 3 times and there are tens of thousands of schools around the world baised on here ideas and theorys!! READ it its sooo good. ( one thing to remember -- this was written almost 100 years ago so some of the things have to be taken with a grain of salt. Also check out the secret of childhood, D. Monessoris own handbook, Montessori Today, Montessoria modern approach, Montessori the science behind the Genius <-- thats my fav. its test her theorys in todays world and talks about the pros and cons of montessori
