Developmental Psychology

  • Prenatal Development

    No longer Zygote! I officially became a proper fetus today; my first organs have formed and more are coming RAPIDLY!
  • Birth

    Strange things are happening in that brain of mine; neurons have been growing everywhere throughout it. But now they are starting to connect to each other and to form some network that is drawn throughout all of my brain!
  • Period: to

    First 62 years of my life

  • Things exist even when I can't see them!

    Thanks to my Sensory Motor stage I made a huge discovery today! My dad made the phone disappear using the blanket. But when I lifted the blanket, it reappeared! This must mean that it was there the whole time and that objects are permanent.
  • Strange Situation

    Today Mommy and me went to a strange place. There were many toys to play with, but it wasn't any more fun when Mommy left me alone with a stranger! She came back soon enough though, and comforted me.
  • How come Tarek has a brother?

    I am in my Preoperational Stage right now. Something strange happened today. My mother told our neighbor that my brother Tarek also has a brother. I can't imagine from what a perspective she must be looking at the world. After all, I am the center of it.
  • Learning about reversibility of operations

    I'm already in Concrete Operational Stage. Today in math class we learned about how if you have 8+2=10, then 10-2 becomes really easy to solve. I also got way better at art, especially when portraying my feelings.
  • Discussion on life

    From now on I will be in Formal Operational Stage for the rest of my life.Today in my English class, we discussed whether one could really compare success in life to climbing a mountain.
  • Found my best friends

    I think I finally found the people I can identify with. The table with the football players seemed where I fit intially, but then it turned out not to be my thing. Just like the table with the video gamers. How could I have been so mistaken? But I'm sure this time I've found the people I fit to. I can't stand their taste of music though...
  • Puberty

    Am being in puberty; secondary sex characteristics such as facial hair are developing more and more. My brain is enhancing a whole bunch of its neural connections...It's probably also pruning some related to art and music, as I haven't come to interact with that in a long time.
  • What about marriage?

    I finally found the love of my life. Now that I'm in Young Adulthood, when should I marry?
  • Becoming truly useful

    Being in Middle Adulthood, and having accumulated some wealth makes me want to contribute to the world; I am paying more to charity and trying to become a more reliably helpful part of my community.
  • Starting with excercises for healthy aging

    As physical excersise can diminish the effects of aging on my body, I am starting with special exercises when I'm 55 years old.
