Infancy: Let’s start with Physical Growth
■ Weight (Average 7.5 lbs)■ Doubles by 4 months■ Quadruples by 24 months
■ Length■ 20 inches at birth■ 32-36 inches by age 2
■ Body proportions: no wonder junior can’t support his head at first

The Brain
■ Size increase (25% to 75%)■ Growth of new dendrites,
which form more connections■ Loss of connectors (pruning)■ Myelination for speed, and
proliferation support■ Variation in maturation

Motor Development
■ Newborn reflexes■ Automatic responses to stimuli■ Include sucking, rooting, palmer grasp,
and even a little walking / dancing■ NOT to be confused with Gross Motor Skills■ Intentional movements of arms, legs,
torso.■ These happen before Fine Motor Skills

Motor Development
■ Fine motor skills■ Precise movements of hand and
fingers (may use visual tracking)■ Eye-hand coordination ■ Enhances baby’s control of the world
by manipulating small objects ■ These take longer to acquire than
gross motor skills

Sensory Development
■ Vision-least developed sense at birth■ Newborn focus 8-16 inches away■ Problems scanning/tracking (initially)■ Binocular vision at 14 weeks (depth)■ Preferences for complex and unusual
objects show up by this time too■ Color vision poor■ Hearing-most developed sense at birth■ Taste, Touch and Smell all good

Nutrition: Ideal Diet
■ Breast milk – easier to digest than formula and helps our baby’s immune system develop
■ Breastfeeding costs less, however minimal support here in public or work places for mom’s privacy
■ When to avoid breastfeeding?■ Feeding formulas have shown some improvements
nutritionally. Lots of promotion for them.■ Fears about bonding issues with formula fed babies
have proven unfounded

Malnutrition
■ In developing countries:
■ Infantile Marasmus■ Kwashiorkor■ In United States:
■ Milk-anemia due to calcium blocking the absorption of iron

Cognitive DevelopmentLanguage and Thought
Jean Piaget gets us started with the Sensorimotor Stage
Between birth and age 2 our baby will begin to shift away from reflexes to problem solvingHe or she will learn how things work by repeating motor behaviorsStill experiences the world through direct contact
![Page 9: Physical Growth - College of the Canyons 172 Chapter 4...Physical Growth Weight (Average 7 ... Infantile Marasmus](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022806/5cd86f9688c993ad7c8e0d20/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Stage One■ Birth to 1 month■ Reflexive actions■ Few schema
Stage Two■ 1-4 months■ 1st adaptations to the environment■ More schema
![Page 10: Physical Growth - College of the Canyons 172 Chapter 4...Physical Growth Weight (Average 7 ... Infantile Marasmus](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022806/5cd86f9688c993ad7c8e0d20/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Stage Three■ 4-8 months■ Repeating actions■ Realizes she can impact on the world
Stage Four■ 8-12 months■ New adaptations and anticipation■ Look forward to upcoming events■ Object permanence achieved
![Page 11: Physical Growth - College of the Canyons 172 Chapter 4...Physical Growth Weight (Average 7 ... Infantile Marasmus](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022806/5cd86f9688c993ad7c8e0d20/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Stage Five
■ 12-18 months■ Experimentation of little scientists■ Discovering features such as
gravity, simple cause and effect■ Trial and error learning
![Page 12: Physical Growth - College of the Canyons 172 Chapter 4...Physical Growth Weight (Average 7 ... Infantile Marasmus](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022806/5cd86f9688c993ad7c8e0d20/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Stage Six
■ 18-24 months■ Mental combinations■ Child begins to “think” in order to
solve problems■ Less reliance on trial and error
learning■ Deferred imitation
![Page 13: Physical Growth - College of the Canyons 172 Chapter 4...Physical Growth Weight (Average 7 ... Infantile Marasmus](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022806/5cd86f9688c993ad7c8e0d20/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
COMMUNICATION – STEPS IN LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT
■ Newborns have no language skills, but they are still effective with basic communication
■ Use cries, facial expressions, body posture
■ From 2 to 6 months cooing, squealing, babbling and laughing begin, along with pointing and gesturing
■ Taking turns in communication■ Deaf babies also vocalize & begin ‘signing’■ Receptive vocabulary better than expressive■ Begins limiting sounds to languages being heard
![Page 14: Physical Growth - College of the Canyons 172 Chapter 4...Physical Growth Weight (Average 7 ... Infantile Marasmus](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022806/5cd86f9688c993ad7c8e0d20/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
12-13 Months
■ First spoken words■ Holophrasic speech■ Underextension■ Overextension■ Vocabulary of about 50 words■ Deaf babies vocalizations disappear by
age 2
![Page 15: Physical Growth - College of the Canyons 172 Chapter 4...Physical Growth Weight (Average 7 ... Infantile Marasmus](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022806/5cd86f9688c993ad7c8e0d20/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
18-24 Months
■ Vocabulary growth spurt at 18 months■ Two word sentences at 21 months■ 3-5 word telegraphic (or “text message”)
speech at 24 months
Helping Children Learn to SpeakWhy baby talk?(child-directed speech)

Theories of Language Development
■ Infants teach themselves (Chomsky’s L.A.D.)■ (but must be in person)
■ Infants are taught via reinforcement – operant conditioning (Skinner)
■ Infants learn in order to communicate (Social-pragmatics)
■ All three theories have merit

Psychosocial Development in Infancy
A Look At Early Social Relationships and Emotions
![Page 18: Physical Growth - College of the Canyons 172 Chapter 4...Physical Growth Weight (Average 7 ... Infantile Marasmus](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022806/5cd86f9688c993ad7c8e0d20/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Psychosocial Development: Let’s look first at Emotions
■ Attraction & withdrawal■ Social smiling (2 months), Laughter (3-5 mo)■ Fear, sadness, anger, jealousy (6-8 months)■ Stranger wariness and separation anxiety
■ Self-Awareness (15 months)■ The Rouge Test
■ Guilt, shame and embarrassment
![Page 19: Physical Growth - College of the Canyons 172 Chapter 4...Physical Growth Weight (Average 7 ... Infantile Marasmus](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022806/5cd86f9688c993ad7c8e0d20/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Attachment Styles: Let’s start with Secure Attachments
■ Child receives care, concern and affection
■ Leads to a sense of trust and curiosity: note the tie in with Erikson?
■ Signaled by separation anxiety and stranger wariness
■ The most common attachment style
![Page 20: Physical Growth - College of the Canyons 172 Chapter 4...Physical Growth Weight (Average 7 ... Infantile Marasmus](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022806/5cd86f9688c993ad7c8e0d20/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Insecure-Resistant■ Needs not consistently met■ Insecurity and fear of being alone■ Fussy, clingy, hard to satisfy
Insecure-Avoidant■ No attachment; needs not met■ Child does not seek comfort from
caregiver■ Child is neither curious nor clingy
![Page 21: Physical Growth - College of the Canyons 172 Chapter 4...Physical Growth Weight (Average 7 ... Infantile Marasmus](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022806/5cd86f9688c993ad7c8e0d20/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Disorganized
■ Neither plays nor responds■ Actions of mother■ Cry, freeze, hit, retreat, etc.
Attachment StylesAlso vary by culture: Germany (insecure-avoidant); Japan (insecure-resistant)
![Page 22: Physical Growth - College of the Canyons 172 Chapter 4...Physical Growth Weight (Average 7 ... Infantile Marasmus](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022806/5cd86f9688c993ad7c8e0d20/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Temperament
■ Inborn behavioral tendencies■ A way of relating to people, places
and things■ Not due to parenting■ Shaped into personality
![Page 23: Physical Growth - College of the Canyons 172 Chapter 4...Physical Growth Weight (Average 7 ... Infantile Marasmus](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022806/5cd86f9688c993ad7c8e0d20/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
New York Longitudinal Study
■ Activity and Rhythmicity■ Intensity and Mood■ Approach/Withdrawal■ Adaptability and Distractibility■ Persistence and Attention Span■ Sensory Thresholds
![Page 24: Physical Growth - College of the Canyons 172 Chapter 4...Physical Growth Weight (Average 7 ... Infantile Marasmus](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022806/5cd86f9688c993ad7c8e0d20/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Temperament Types
■ Easy or flexible (40% of those categorized)
■ Difficult, active, or feisty (10%)■ Slow to warm up/cautious (15%)■ 35 percent are a combination■ Goodness of fit
![Page 25: Physical Growth - College of the Canyons 172 Chapter 4...Physical Growth Weight (Average 7 ... Infantile Marasmus](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022806/5cd86f9688c993ad7c8e0d20/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Erikson’s Psychosocial Stages: Starting with Trust vs. Mistrust
■ Problems in developing trust may result from premature birth, or...
■ Parents who don’t show affection toward child (an unwanted pregnancy)
■ Upwardly mobile ambitious middle class parents who are too busy
■ Tension, irritability in the household(Stress and neurological development)
![Page 26: Physical Growth - College of the Canyons 172 Chapter 4...Physical Growth Weight (Average 7 ... Infantile Marasmus](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022806/5cd86f9688c993ad7c8e0d20/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Erikson’s Trust Vs Mistrust
■ Requirements for developing trust■ Regular, adequate care■ Sufficient sucking■ Cuddling and physical contact■ Overall message that they are loved
![Page 27: Physical Growth - College of the Canyons 172 Chapter 4...Physical Growth Weight (Average 7 ... Infantile Marasmus](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022806/5cd86f9688c993ad7c8e0d20/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Erikson’s Stage #2: Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt
■ Found in 1-2 year old children■ Toddlers want independence or
autonomy■ Should be allowed to be independent
within safe limits■ Pride requires self-evaluation
