1. Identify five areas in which children’s lives need to be improved and explain the roles of resilience and social policy in children’s development.
Five areas in which children’s lives need to be imporved are: health/wellbeing, parenting, education, sociocultural context/diversity, and gender. Children’s health before and after birth can affect their lives and ability to learn, thus it needs to be improved. Similarly, parenting can have a positive of negative affect in children’s lives. Improving parenting means that parents will provide a more safe and stimulating environment at home. Education needs improvement because some schools need focus on helping their students develop socially, emotionally, and cognitively. When is comes to sociocultural …show more content…
Infertility may be due to few sperms,sperm may lack motility, abnormal ova, or blocked fallopian tubes. Some choices are in vitro fertilization or adoption. Some choices to perspective mothers to ensure that the fetus is developing normally are ultrasound, chornic villus sampling, and amniocentesis. Ultrasound sonography uses high frequency waves to creat a visual respresntation of the fetus structues. Chronic villus sampling takes a small sample of placenta to detect genetic defects. Lastly, amniocentesis takes a sample of the amniotic fluid and it is used to detect chromosomal disorders.
5. Explain some of the ways that heredity and environment interact to produce individual differences in development.
There are three different ways that heredity and enviroment correlate to produce individual differences in development. These include: passive, evocative, and active genotype-enviornments. In passive genotype-environment, biological parents provide children a nurturing environment. In evocative genotype-environment,a child’s charactertics trigger certain types of environments. In active genotype-environment, children search for environments the find stimulating and …show more content…
This motivation is increased by creating an environment that provides children choices and letting them take responsibility for their learning. The children need to develop mastery motivation; this means they are more concentrated on the process of achievement rather than the outcome. The mindset also influences achievement. If the children have a growth mindset, then they understand that they can improve with effort. Also, they neeed to believe in their abilities and know that they can master a situation, this is called sel-efficacy. Children need high expecations from their teachers and parents for their achievement.
9. Discuss developmental changes in the body
During prenatal development and infancy, the head is larger than the body. Through the cephalocaudal pattern, the body gradually grows from the top to the bottom. Growth also occurs from the center of the body to the extremetites. During infancy, babies grow one inch per month. During eary childhood, children’s head are still slighlty bigger than their body and body fat declines. Between middle and late childhood, children grow 2 to 3 inches and their wieght increase due to growing muscular system. In adolescence, go through puberty. During this time, hormones increase and teens go through rapid physical maturation.
