Each aspect is important and all have impact on each other. To better explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development, the development will be divided into age groups: ZERO TO SIX MONTHS BABY Physical Development: • From the birth each month we can see the changes in the weight of the baby and the growth of the body parts • It will be able to turn its head to sound and movement • Watch the parent’s face while feeding • Smile at familiar faces and voices • stretches to reach its feet while lying down • tries to reach for and grab objects • keeps things in its mouth independently. Social and emotional development: • A six month old baby will respond to their mother’s face, smile. • Needs comfort and cuddles from their parents. Language development: • A six month old baby will be able to make a variety of happy sounds.
[Page Break]Imagine a daycare class room for one and two year olds filled with toys that they are interested in along with peers that are their age. Social and emotional development can be affected by different environments and the children’s overall development. Based on the movie “Toddlers: Social and Emotional Development,” it referred to toddlers that were between the ages of one and two years. So take a young girl who is a toddler and it is her first day being dropped off in the daycare class room by her mother, but usually it’s her father that drops her off. There are many factors that can cause this young toddler to become anti-social and very emotional.
The concept is to let the child ‘fill in the blanks’ when more than one imaginary creature, a ‘wug’, is introduced. There is evidence to suggest that language acquisition begins even before birth. Tests show that new-born infants prefer to listen to recordings of the language which had surrounded the mother throughout pregnancy, than to others. Whilst being in the womb, this evidence suggests that the infant has already been listening to the intonation and rhythm of its surrounding language. The stage order of which a child has been proven to learn language is as follows; cooing, babbling, one-word stage, two-word stage, At around two months, the infant begins ‘cooing’ whereas at about six months ‘babbling’ is produced.
Whetsel Fisher 11/15/12 Problem Solution Paper Rough Draft The Problem of Latchkey Children in America Today's children are being forced to grow up faster than in past generations. Mothers working outside the home are at an all-time high, often creating situations in which children have to take care of themselves after school.

Have you seen the commercials where they try to sell you all of those harmful things? Well, children are also exposed to those stuff too. 'Managing screen time and screen dependency' Dr Aric Sigman argues that “ whether it's Facebook, the internet or computer games, screen time is no longer merely about a cultural issue about how children spend their leisure time, nor is it confined over the educational value or inappropriate content-it's a medical issue”A survey of 1,000 mothers of children at the age of 2 to 12 found that 85 of their mothers said that they give their children their technology to keep their kids occupied while they go on with their activities. When children spend around 17 hours a week in front of a screen they don't get out side and play with their neighborhood kids and interact with them or to just have fun and exercise. When children have too much dopamine they keep searching for more and more.
Some parents allow their children to stay home alone for the first few hours until their return, and some chose an alternative method of after school programming. I have chosen to use afterschool programming for my granddaughter, as I am helping her mother to co-parent. In my observation I have learned that the afterschool program that she attends may be no more that a glorified babysitting operation. When she comes home her homework is wrong, messy, and incomplete. She tells me she has been taught by her teacher things like how to spell the word, “butt” and how to look for leaks by locating brown spots on the ceiling.
