The simple definition of schemas is “repeated behavioral patterns, children will go through in order to learn and explore their environment” For example, when babies are born they suck. They repeat this behavior again and again until they understand it and get better at it. As children get older they’re schemas become more complex and sophisticated. Parents can sometimes get frustrated, annoyed or nervous if they’re kids are not behaving the same way as other kids their age. If your child enjoys different activities then his peers it might be because hes going through a different schema and not because of a more serious reason like being developmentally delayed.
In the video, one of the parents labeled her child as “naughty” when in reality the child was displaying normal healthy behaviors for a child his age, experiencing a schema. The parents lack of understanding of their child’s normal development definitely caused her to mistreat her son.
