3 Influences on Social/Emotional DevelopmentSlide7
Babies have a basic need for physical contact – holding, cuddling, rocking, or even just being near another person.
The contact builds a bond between a child and caregiver, which we call attachment.
Social relationships are important for many animals, not just humans. 1.) AttachmentSlide8Slide9
The type of attachment we develop as a child significantly impacts adult relationships.

1.) AttachmentSlide10
A baby who is left alone a lot may fail to respond to people and objects and have smaller than average sized brains.
Could result in a condition known as
failure to thrive, where a baby does not grow and develop properly. If these babies are not helped, they will become unattached, even as adults.1.) AttachmentSlide11
After reviewing the four parenting styles in the article
The Four Principles of Attachment and Why They Work
, complete the following journal. Which style of parenting do you think you were predominately raised with? Do you feel you will parent the same way if you have children some day? Why or why not?1.) Attachment - JournalSlide12
Feelings are contagious
Babies understand the tone of adults’ long before they understand the words
Worried/angry caregivers are likely to handle their baby tensely and babies can sense this, becoming irritable and fussy.Every family has ups and downs, but affection and caring must form the base of interactions.

.) Individual TemperamentSlide14
Easy
-regular habits for eating, sleeping, etc…
-respond quickly to new situations -are cheerful2. Slow to warm-up
-take more time to adapt to new situations
Difficult
-irregular in their habits
-after withdrawal or protest (even with screams) when faced with new situations
Children with difficult temperaments often learn to cope with their surroundings as time goes on (self-righting tendencies). Sometimes constant care (extra holding and soothing) will help difficult babies with new situations.
Three types of temperament in infantsSlide15
Journal: After completing the temperament questionnaire, discuss your
results in
one component. Is there anything you wish you could change? What can change temperament, if anything?

.
Birth order- each child experiences the family differently, oldest, youngest, middle, only, multipleBirth of a Sibling- older child is dethroned and now must share the family
Parenting Styles-
all styles work but consistency is the key.
Social contact and culture
- child gains gender identity (feeling of being male or female)
. Child also gains understanding of sex- appropriate behaviour within our culture
Journal: How does society treat infant boys and girls differently? What impact does that have on the child?
Social
development
What influences a child's
developmentSlide17
Symbiotic period
From birth to 5 months- babies can not distinguish that their mothers are separate from themselves
Individuation periodFrom about 5 months to about 3 years- infants begin to develop a sense of self (separate from their mothers) They will experiment with separation from their parents/caregivers. (can often experience separation anxiety)
This can be seen in the following behaviours
exploring mother’s face and hair, playing peek a boo (controlled separation),
saying no (asserting their individual personality),
attachment to a security item (blanket, etc…)
Early stages of emotional growthSlide18
Social development
is shaped by how other people affect the baby and how the baby affects other people
3 aspects- interacting with others, learning to trust, showing attachmentBonding- an infant needs to have at least one permanent figure to bond with that provides security and healthy stimulation to grow up learning to trust others normally.
