Reflection in action is the process of thinking about something as you are doing it. Please refer to Adult Development: Life Stages and Transitions in Chapter 5: The Developmental Dynamic to help you complete this assignment.
Using the handout on Life Stages and Transitions, think about and look at your own adult development and your potential needs as an early childhood professional.

Use the table provided on pages 66-69 (Table 5.1)to help you identify the characteristics of your current life stage.  Describe the reasons why you feel you are in this stage.  How does this stage affect your needs as a child development professional?

Be reflective in describing your life stage, your understanding of yourself in this stage and what it means in relation to the work you do with children and/or families
