After birth, baby begins his first interaction with a smile when looked into his eyes by the parent. The parent is baby's first playmate as well as his first teacher of skills. With the parent's help, baby gets to know others, and also likes to be in their company. Newborns show great signs of interest in faces and imitate their facial expressions. He begins to express his needs through various facial expression which is another means of social interaction.
Also during this period, the child will make great strides in language and social skills (Lockman, 2009, p.6). The text suggests that there are three major periods of a baby’s development through the first two years of life (Brooks, 2010, p. 211). During the development of self-period, infants’ visual, sensory and motor responses emerge and so it is important for new parents to ensure their baby is stimulated with things such as mobiles or even just playing with their newborn. Babies, even newborn babies, like being around people and engaging with people (Brooks, 2010, p. 215). Allowing for the newborn to have many interactions with both their parents and other newborns will start the development of their social and emotional skills.
“Infant &toddlers Brain development” It is interesting to see how a human’s brain develops, epically from the time they are born till around three. This is when a baby is learning to adjust to their new world and learn things such motor skill, talk, walk, emotions, communication, social skills, leaning and more. While going through the different ages/months of a infant/toddlers brain, it was incredible to lean how in just short periods of months more and more skills are developed. The first stage from newborn to two months, they can already hear sounds (especially their mothers), turn their head and eyes to the person talking to them and can see movements from 9-12 inches. I liked the fact that it tells/ teaches you how to hold newborns, breastfeeding tip and strategies you can do with them at this stage.
Communication and Intellectual development starts from the moment a baby is born. In cases where a baby has been neglected from this early stage it is found that they will experience difficulties in effective communication later in life. Babies enjoy listening to songs and games and most sill start to speak by around 12 months old. Between the ages of 1-2 they will be able to form short sentences and by the age of 2 will have a vocabulary of around 200 words. By the age of 3 a child will be using negatives and plurals in their speech and vocabulary will increase rapidly.
Language development: • A six month old baby will be able to make a variety of happy sounds. • will respond to music and singing • will mirror their parent’s movements and expressions. 6 TO 12 MONTHS BABY Physical development: • The toddler will have learnt to sit first with support, and then without. • will be able to roll over • he will begin to crawl or shuffle • he will be able to stand with support • he will raise his arms when he wants to be lifted • he will respond to his name • he will pass objects from hand to hand • Look for things that have been hidden and reach for food. Social and emotional development: • Baby will develop “Separation Anxiety” (some babies develop it earlier or
“ Babies who have a strong bond or attachment with their primary carer at the end of their first year will be more comfortable when they socialise with others.” ( Tassoni. P et.al. 2007 Pge 54) As the infant gets older, they become very dependent on their primary care giver. Despite this, they begin to realise that they are an individual and can recognise and use their own name. They also begin to show emotions when their needs are not
Running Head: CLEANING UP 1 Cleaning Up Case Study Understanding individual and social factors Ibrahima Balde Indiana University of Pennsylvania CLEANING UP 2 Abstract This paper deals with analyzing the individual, social and cultural factors associated with a child and her parents cleaning up after playing with toys. In particular, we focused on the individual and social factors, which were key in the child’s development throughout the span of the study. There were 3 participants in the study and we used different codes to classify responses each of the parents and child made. This was a productive study and revealed a lot about development but I feel like more studies could come after this one such as the toy bus case study or having only the mother or father present during clean up. Keywords: development, guidance, codes, individual factors, social factors CLEANING UP 3 Clean Up The clean up case study had several issues that we tried to analyze.
Another big transistion that most children or young person will expieirence is a birth of a sibling the reason why i believe this is a transistion is because they are adapting to a new situation which could either cause happiness or a eliment of jelousy. However i do think most children will feel both of these things however just at diffrent stages of their childhood. In my opinion most children will imitate the actions of thair parents in the sense of showing leadership and authoirity and trying to pretect their younger sibling which develops there mertanial instict in girls. Alternetively the child could go through a proccess of fravourtism of the younger sibling. which may cause the child to feel ingsignificant which may reflect on the childs behaviouer the child may start to be disobedeant and not listen.
Within the early months a child will make eye contact and be able to turn their head to the smell of their mothers breasts, they will listen to voices, develop co-ordination, they enjoy colourful and shiny objects they should also be able to play simple games such as peek-a-boo. By age two a child will be amusing themselves with “pretend” play and favourite toys they have, by age three their concentration grows and they are able to control pencils and paintbrushes, at age four their memory will develop quickly, and should be able to build things with
