Scenario: Justin, Adrienne, Ben, and Tony are half-brothers and sisters whose parents married after their respective divorces from other spouses. Their parents come from two different races and have been married for 5 years. The parents are experiencing marital difficulties, some, but not all, of which are brought on by problems with their oldest son, Tony, age 20. Tony has struggled with substance abuse and has been getting into trouble since high school. Their parents had Justin, their only bi-racial child, who is now 4-years old and shows signs of being behind in aspects of his development. Adrienne and Ben are twins, age 9 from their mother’s first marriage. Adrienne is thriving in school, socially and developmentally, but Ben is struggling in some or all of those areas, but gives his parents few if any problems and is supportive of his oldest brother, despite his challenges. This assignment requires you to choose one of the family members from the scenario provided. You will analyze the same person in each part of your advancing development papers. Review Assignment Instructions and Assignment Requirements and ask clarifying questions of your instructor before attempting this assignment
Note: This scenario is brief to allow you to make research-supported assumptions about the selected person’s development and potential problems that the individual might face.

SUMMARY
Practitioners must be able to work with others and understand theories and terms in developmental psychology as they apply to others. It is essential to develop case management skills by applying theories and terms in developmental psychology to real-world experiences, which helps to identify key developmental stages in early childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, adulthood, or late adulthood. This assignment focuses on early childhood through young adulthood.
This assignment requires you to articulate the theories for each developmental stage in the scenario provided, based on emotional, cognitive, physical, and spiritual/moral development factors. You are required to identify development challenges for the individual you choose in the scenario and propose applicable solutions to address these challenges. You will need to compare and contrast the person in the developmental stage with the other two in the scenario who are in two other stages of development, physically, socio-emotionally, cognitively, and morally. This assignment helps develop an understanding of the different stages of human growth and development in early childhood through young adulthood. It helps you gain insights into various populations and age groups for person-centered care.
Important Note: This assignment requires you to choose one of the family members from the scenario provided. You will analyze the same person in each part of your early to mid development papers. Review Assignment Instructions and Assignment Requirements and ask clarifying questions of your instructor before attempting this assignment.
