Child Development
Chapter 7
Section 7-1 review:
1. Growth refers to changes in size, but growth development refers to increases and changes in physical, emotional, social, or intellectual skills.
2. Near to far development refers to how an infant’s development starts close to the trunk of the body and moves outward. The other two patterns of development are head to foot, and simple to complex. In the simple to complex development, babies first develop their large muscle groups. Head to foot development begins before birth. It starts during the prenatal stage, and it continues after birth and can be seen in the increasing control babies gain over their body.
3. A baby needs a stimulating environment, one where the baby as a wide variety of things to see, taste, smell, hear, and touch. An environment lacking in stimulation can result in fewer or weaker connections in the brain and delayed or slow development in other areas.
4. Three major milestones are: 1. Standing alone for short periods of time. 2. Holding and drinking from a cup. 3. Picking up small objects using the thumb and forefinger.
5. It would not be reasonable to assume that a 12 month old could weigh 15 pounds. It is more likely the baby would weigh around 21 pounds by that age.
6. At birth, vision in blurry, but by a year, their eyesight reaches the clarity and sharpness of the adult level.
7. Three reflexes are the sucking reflex, the rooting reflex, and shutting eyes under bright lights. Three grass motor skills include control of the head, rolling over from front to back, and crawling. Three fine motor skills include opening and closing hands, picking up objects, and drinking from a cup.
Section 7-2 review:
1. When a baby won’t stop crying, a frustrated parent could put a baby down in a safe place, go into another room, and take some deep breaths or look out the window to calm down. A parent could also ask a friend or relative to care for the baby for a few
