After reading different learning theories, it is evident that these theories offer guidance into the different aspects of development, conduct, and personality of the human being.
This chapter is the one that I liked the most because as mother I learned a lot about the way my children behave and react to different situations.

I admire all these theorists such as Piaget, Bruner, Freud, Erikson, and Montessori and so on, because thanks to their investigations in their corresponding fields, they have discovered theories that until now are very useful to understand some aspects that play an important role in human life.
These psychologists have studied during decades how people change over time and the developmental stages across the human lifespan (i.e., birth to death). Because of their researches we can now apply certain theories related to development, emotional, social, and cognitive- intellectual acquisition and aspects.

Some theorists help parents and teachers how to understand and be supportive in the child’s growth and development, and what better way to do so then by having the knowledge surrounding their child’s behavior from birth to adolescences.
