The debate between continuity vs. stages is the development a gradual, continuous process, like a ski lift moving up a mountain or is it a series of distinctly different like the steps of a staircase. In continuous and gradual stages Genie was able to start talking and expressing what she wanted by point, etc. the debate between stability vs. change is will the person you think of as the “real” you still be there in 2050 or will that person change dramatically as you move through adulthood? Genie was able to change to better understand the world around her. The debate between nature vs. nurture is how much of your development is a result of genetics and how much is a result of environment. Genie learned not to talk because she was beaten when she made noise so it came her nature to not talk because her nurture, of being beaten when talking. Victor’s sensitivity to temperature was not as sensitive because he spent most of his life in the outside elements, whether it was raining, cold, or hot.

was a better understanding of the what type of diseases are out there, what their symptoms are, and if they can be cured or now. I was nervous right before Mrs. Fox tested my cup, even though it wasn't real I still felt nervous and scared. I think i felt nervous and scared because I didn't want to have an type of disease, STD or STI. I didn't not have the disease; after know that I felt relieved and less stressed. We have learned about some of these diseases in health, such as herpes, but it was good to review them before college to know what is out there and what my options of treatment are.
Today I learned about STDs and STIs, such as crabs, herpes, gonorrhea. I learned that are some of the diseases are not fully treatable and they will always stay in your body, such as herpes. Also if you have herpes you can place it on to your children.I learned that couples how talk about are less likely to contract diseases, which I was thought was a good tip. Testing should be done every year depending on how many partners one has. I think drugs and alcohol put people in the high risk category because when people are under the influence of drugs and alcohol their frontal lobe is affected. The frontal lobe is in charge of decision making, so when this is impaired people don't make the best choices. Also peer pressure puts people in the high risk category because when some is under peer pressure they want to make it go away so they cave in. Someday when I have children will definitely make sure I tell my kids about STIs. I will tell them what they are, what they can do to you, and how you can prevent them. I want my kids to be able to talk about these types of things with me because I feel an open relationship, will allow my kids to know its not just themselves vs the world.

If I was actually pregnant I would feel scared because I feel I am still am a kid myself and it would be hard to take care of someone else. I would be worried how I would finish school, while taking care of my baby. I babysit for two little boys ages one and six and I find it hard to take care of both the boys at the same. The boys usually both want my attention and while I'm making dinner or helping the other one, it's hard to do two things are once. It would be hard also to have a child as a teenager because people are so judgemental and would judge me for having a child so young.
Today I gave birth, to a little baby girl!! My little baby girl is named Charlotte Marie Voner and she is six pounds three ounces. I really wanted a girl when we were picking out of the hat which gender we got. It’s weird to have anyone person to take care of besides myself. I’m use to taking care of the two boys I babysit outside of school, but inside of school it was a lot more difficult. Not only am I tired and not want to carry my backpack, I know have carry a six pound. Normal easy task such as going to the bathroom are now more difficult, I either have to ask someone to watch baby Char or take her with me.
Women are pregnant for forty weeks.
There is three stages of prenatal development. The first stage is zygote and this is the first two weeks. Cell division and development occur during these two weeks. The next stage is embryo and when the baby starts to developing human organizes and this stages last for two months. The last stage fetus and that is nine weeks to birth. Teratogens are chemicals and viruses that can the embryo or fetus and cause harm. They increase the risk of the baby being born with a birth defect. Some teratogens will increase the risk of having a miscarriage. One type of teratogen is fetal alcohol syndrome and this is when the mother abuses alcohol during pregnancy. This can lead to physical and cognitive
abnormalities.

Newborn can feel pain and focus their eyes. Their eyes can turn when they hear a voice to see where the voice is coming from. They are able to touch out with their hands, allowing them to communicate. By screaming very loudly they are able to protect themselves. After twelve hours of being born they can smell, smile at the small of bananas and cringe at that smell of shrimp. A seven month old can smile when seeing its mother’s face. Too much of the same thing loses its interest with babies. As a parent I will use this information to know what my baby is trying to tell me. When my baby cries I will know that baby is trying to tell me that he or she needs something. When the baby smiles at me at the age of two months I will know the baby knows I am it's mother. At this point the baby prefers familiar over strange, so when the baby is placed with a stranger it will begin to cry. Also I will change up my babies toys often so my baby doesn't lose interest with the same thing, they see over and over again.
Humans do not imprint, we form attachments with primary caregiver. Whoever is touching the baby and taking care of the baby with form the closest attachment with the child. Nurture can overrule nature. An attachment is an emotional tie with another person. This is shown in young children by their seeking of closeness to the caregiver. The most important thing in attachment is familiarity, which is being recognizable to the baby. Critical periods is an optimal period early in the life an organism when espouse to certain stimuli produces normal development. Bower said that if you were cared for as a little baby you had normal trusting relationships later in life, but if you were negated as a little baby you were always distrusting your partner or going from person to person. In the Harlow study he up monkeys in a cage and only gave when a silk blanket as their only attachment. He would take away the blanket for an hour and the monkeys would immediately go into distress. This supported the idea of contact confront, we need to be touched. Ainsworth strange situation a baby plays in a room, then the mother leaves the room; the baby cries and goes into distress. During the reunion stage the baby calmed down, showing a strong attachment between the baby and mother.
There is three main types of parenting: authoritarian parenting, permissive parenting, and authoritative parenting. In authoritarian parenting is marked by imposing rules and expecting obedience. In permissive parenting is marked by submitting to the child’s desires, making few demands, and using little punishment. In authoritative parenting is marked by making demands of the child, being responsive, setting and enforcing rules, and discussing the reason behind the rules. My parents use permissive parenting. They try their best to meet my sister and I’s desires; they want use to chase our dreams and they will do anything to help us get there. My parents don't ask much from me, besides me a good person and doing what I think is the right thing to do. I've never truly punished in my life, but there has never been a need for my parents to truly punish me. When I'm a parent I want to use permissive parenting. Since my parents are hands off in what I do and allow me a lot of freedom, I think it was allowed me to mature faster. I depend on myself for most things, but I always know all I have to do is ask for help and my parents will be there. Also having parents who don't control my every move has made me more self motivated which I believe is a good thing because instead of doing things just because my parents make me, I do things for myself. I think my parents using strict rules and punishment it creates anxious children. I never want my children to leave anxious around me; I want them to feel comfortable and that they can talk to me about anything.
