At birth, infants lack many qualities that adults currently value such as, independence, quality vision, cognitive skills, etc. However, with time infants will grow up and obtain these development milestones. In this paper we will be focusing on cognitive and emotional development. Emotional development has several components, neural and physiological responses, desire to take action, feelings, etc. (Siegler, DeLoache, & Eisenberg, 2006).

My parents were accustomed to the required grade levels that they attended for some short time while growing
