Infancy
This project asks you to observe a child in the infancy stage of development and write a paper from your observations.
Directions: Observe a child in the Infancy stage of development and write a paper to answer the following questions:
What are the major developmental tasks and milestones you see exhibited in this child’s behaviors and interactions?
What are the expected developmental tasks and milestones you should expect to see in this child’s behaviors and interactions? What are the reasons a child in this developmental stage may not have met the expected developmental tasks and milestones outlined this week?
This paper and all sources cited within should follow the APA Style format.
These are some examples of expected developmental tasks and milestones for infants at this age range however there may be several reasons why a child has not yet achieved them such as physical impairments & delays due to genetic/birth defect illness etc. Environmental factors can also play role here e.g delayed exposure speech language or even lack stimulation provided by parents which hinders progress in other areas!
In conclusion it is clear that infants typically go through rapid changes within short period time involving both mental physical growth - thus monitoring progress crucial order ensure any potential issues detected early so appropriate intervention strategies can be implemented improve overall outcomes future life stages!
