One of your good friends works at a day care center. He knows that you are taking a class in life-span development, and he has asked you to talk to the parents about the types of behaviors they might expect from their children as they develop. He has told you that the parents have many questions and concerns about Sigmund Freud's theories and his emphasis on sexuality, but they have heard good things about Jean Piaget's theories. Your friend has also recently learned about the Russian educator, Lev Vygotsky, and would like you to cover him also, along with any other theorists who you think are important. What would you say to the parents about these theorists? What can the parents expect from their children?

What research methods would you employ to accomplish these goals?
