CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Underneath, label the five ego states – adapted child, free child, adult, controlling parent and nurturing parent.

Detailed explanation-2: -In your parent ego state you are likely to be controlling, critical or judgmental. Conversely while in your parent you might be nurturing, caring or hospitable. There are two sides to our parent ego state. Most people however, don’t seek counselling because they’re feeling too nurturing.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ego States are consistent patterns of feeling, thinking and behaviour that we all possess. Transactional Analysis identifies three Ego States, called Parent, Adult, and Child. This is not about actual parents, adults and children, but about different ways of experiencing.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Controlling (or Critical) Parent – This Parent type tries to make the Child do as the Parent wants them to do, perhaps transferring values or beliefs or helping the Child to understand and live in society. They may also have negative intent, using the Child as a scapegoat.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Functional Model of Ego States Subdividing the states and giving them behavioural descriptions enables a more explicit way of observing behaviour. The Parent is divided into Controlling Parent (sometimes still described as Critical Parent) and Nurturing Parent.
