EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENTSlide6
Three factors that can affect a childs’
emotional responses:
The baby’s individuality traits
The type of care the baby receives
The atmosphere of the homeSlide7
Most babies find close, gentle contact
very comforting. They feel secure when a caring parent holds, strokes, and pats them.
Holding the baby during feedings, rocking the baby when he/she is fussy, and taking the baby for a walk can help the baby develop a sense of comfort and trust.
The baby begins to trust the parents and caregivers to supply these needs. Slide8
The emotional climate of the home is how it makes the baby feel.
Babies will catch the feelings of others in the home. If there is a lot of stress and anxiety, the baby will be upset and fussy. If family members are playful and happy, the baby will be happy as well.
A baby can tell if it is genuinely loved and cared for.Slide9
