I’m stuck on a Writing question and need an explanation.

TITLE: Autonomy Development

Introduction:

Typical and atypical development is compared and the influence of culture is introduced. During the twentieth century the study of children has been of great interest and many theories have been developed about how children learn and grow. Theories are designed to show a plan or set of rules that explains, describes, or predicts what happens when children grow and learn. Several popular theories and their applications and limitations are described in this chapter. Adults have become aware that the knowledge of how children learn and grow is beneficial when interacting with and planning for young children. It also includes a brief history of child study, introduces types of observation, and examines the role of the adult in documenting children’s growth and learning and ethical guidelines for adults in working with young children.
