1. As I reflect on my early childhood, the developmental
tasks that I’m doing that time based on my parents’ stories, are that I started to walk before I turn one year old, I also know how to talk already, I play and I’m already trying to draw lines on our walls. While, when I’m in my middle childhood I already know how to write and read some words by syllables. I also learn how to wash the dishes even I still need to climb to our sink and as I remember those time, when I’m washing the dishes I always talk to myself, not literally to myself because I always imagine that I have a friend that is a dwarf and I talk to him. I also played with my younger sister which is only a year younger to me. I also sweep the floor sometimes. When I’m in my late childhood, there I started to go to school by myself, I’m already washing our clothes, and my mom taught me to cook (just rice). And now, during my adolescence period, there are many developmental task that I have. Since at this time I’m obviously at my junior high school, I learn to do some problem solving that I encounter. I learn to make friends and even enemies, I do feel also some infatuation and admiration. I do encounter some challenges in school like hectic schedule of exams and even cramming for the deadlines of projects. Then to perform this tasks which I can’t do it all alone especially during my childhood, my parents are the persons who taught and supported me all the time. Also, my teachers have their contribution on those things that I’ve done and achieved. My friends also help me to perform such tasks since they are the ones which I’m with when I’m not at home or in school. They help me to explore and learn things.
2. As a future teacher someday, the things that I should do
to facilitate my students’ acquisition of these developmental tasks are, to have first some background

knowledge about my students so that I will know if there
are some things that can hinder him/her to perform these task properly (e.g. family problem). I should also know the capacity of each student to do the task, if they are slow in picking up the lesson, or if they have some physical problem. I should also learn how to execute the tasks properly to the students so that they can perform it nice and well. In that ways I think I can help them to acquire these developmental tasks that a person must have.
