Kerry H. Robinson and Criss Jones Diaz (2013), Julie Brownlie and Valerie M. Sheach Leith (2011), and Deborah Lupton (2013) discuss the surrounding issues of infancy in regards to their understanding of the world and their expected social behaviours. The authors of these readings raise key issues of the type of attentiveness and learning provided to infants in their childhood. This is because certain stereotypes and beliefs can be easily placed upon kids at a very young age and this can greatly affect their maturity into adulthood. These matters that are discussed within the weekly readings suggest that there should be precaution in raising young children in a way that does not make them conform to mainstream social behaviours.
