trust vs. mistrust
Failure to learn what, leads to mistrust?
delayed gratification, too much or too little.
Erikson divided the first year into two oral-social stages which are:
1st stage: narcisim, food intake most important, use of bodily processes like grasp, importance of touch stimulation.
2nd stage: more active and aggressive, biting, first conflicts like breastfeeding and biting and teething.
Piaget cognitive period of birth to 24 months is called
sensorimotor phase with six stages.
What are 3 crucial events that take place and the six stages that occur during the Piaget's sensorimotor phase?
1. seperation= infants learn to separate from objects in environment
2. object permanence= happens at 9 to 10 mths
3. use of symbols or mental representation.
Stages:
1. use of reflexes -birth to 1mth
2. primary circular reactions- 1 to 4 mths. (reflexes become voluntary)
3. secondary circular reactions- up to 8mths (play, imitation, affect)
4. coordination of secondary schemas and their application to new situations.
Revised Infant Temperament Questionaire (RITQ)
a screening tool ideal for 4mths old or older that focuses on nine temperament variables, and 95 questions about sleep, feeding, play, diapering, and dressing.
Why is it important for nurses to have knowledge about the infant's temperament?
1. provide parents with background info to help them see child in better perspective
2. offer more organized picture of child's behavior and possibly reveal distortions in their perspective
3. guide parents in childrearing techniques.
small family childcare home
cares up to 6 children for part of a 24 hour day and does not include informal arrangements. Often includes the daycare providers own children under 5 living in the home
large family childcare home
cares for 8 to 12 children. Often operate without license and may have a large number of infants without adequate staff and facilities.
child center-based care
licensed daycare facility with 6 or more kids for 6 or more hours in a 24 hour period.
work-based group care
employers provide childcare to their employees
sick-child care
Often located in community hospitals or in work settings.
What are the first primary teeth to erupt?
lower central incisors, which appear at 6 to 10mths of age (ave. 8mths). They are followed by the upper central incisors.
The quick assessment tool of deciduous (primary) teeth during the firt two years is:
Age of child (in months) -- 6 = # of teeth.
Example: 8mth -- 6 = 2 primary teeth at this time.
When should footwear counseling begin for parents?
at 6 mths (well before they begin walking) DO NOT get shoes with hard soles. Shoes only purpose is protection, should have a 1.25 cm (.5inch) space btwn big toe and shoe, check growth every three months.

200 IU of vit D, prevents rickets and vit D deficiency.
For infants who are only breast fed after 4 to 6 moths should receive what dietary supplement?
iron, b/c offsets the decrease in iron in human milk at this time and enhances erythropoiesis.
What is an ideal first solid food?
iron fortified cereal, rice cereal, b/c low allergic potential. One food at a time!
Portion sizes for infants are?
1 tablespoon per year of age.
two major categories for small children sleep problems are:
1. dyssomnias= child has trouble either falling asleep or staying alseep, or staying awake during the day.
2. parasomnias= confusion arousals, sleep walking, sleep terrors, nightmares, and rhythmic movement disorder. Seen 3 to 8 yrs.

Sensory Motor Period
(0 - 24 months):
Reflexive Stage
(0-1 or 2 months) (text says one)
Simple reflex activity such as grasping, sucking.
Sensory Motor Period
(0 - 24 months):
Primary Circular Reactions
(1 or 2 to 4 months)
Reflexive behaviors occur in stereotyped repetition such as opening and closing fingers repetitively.
Sensory Motor Period
(0 - 24 months):
Secondary Circular Reactions
(4-8 months)
Repetition of change actions to reproduce interesting consequences such as kicking one's feet to move a mobile suspended over the crib.
Sensory Motor Period
(0 - 24 months):
Coordination of Secondary Reactions
(8-12 months)
Responses become coordinated into more complex sequences. Actions take on an "intentional" character such as the infant reaches behind a screen to obtain a hidden object.
Sensory Motor Period
(0 - 24 months):
Tertiary Circular Reactions
(12-18 months)
Discovery of new ways to produce the same consequence or obtain the same goal such as the infant may pull a pillow toward him in an attempt to get a toy resting on it.
Sensory Motor Period
(0 - 24 months):
Invention of New Means Through Mental Combination
(18-24 months)
Evidence of an internal representational system. Symbolizing the problem-solving sequence before actually responding. Deferred imitation.
The Preoperational Period
(2-7 years):
Preoperational Phase
(2-4 years)
Increased use of verbal representation but speech is EGOCENTRIC/ EGOCENTRISM. The beginnings of symbolic rather than simple motor play. TRANSDUCTIVE reasoning. Can think about something without the object being present by use of language.
The Preoperational Period
(2-7 years):
Intuitive Phase
(4-7 years)
Speech becomes more social, less egocentric. The child has an intuitive grasp of logical concepts in some areas. However, there is still a tendency to focus attention on one aspect of an object while ignoring others. Concepts formed are crude and irreversible. Easy to believe in magical increase, decrease, disappearance. Reality not firm. Perceptions dominate judgment.

In moral-ethical realm, the child is not able to show principles underlying best behavior. Rules of a game not develop, only uses simple do's and don'ts imposed by authority.
Period of Concrete Operations
(7-11 years)
Evidence for organized, logical thought. There is the ability to perform multiple classification tasks, order objects in a logical sequence, and comprehend the principle of CONSERVATION. Reasoning is inductive. The child is capable of concrete problem-solving.
Some reversibility now possible (quantities moved can be restored such as in arithmetic:
3+4 = 7 and 7-4 = 3, etc.)

Class logic-finding bases to sort unlike objects into logical groups where previously it was on superficial perceived attribute such as color. Categorical labels such as "number" or animal" now available.
Period of Formal Operations
(11 years to 15)
- adaptability and flexibility
- Thought becomes more abstract, incorporating the principles of formal logic. The ability to generate abstract propositions, multiple hypotheses and their possible outcomes is evident. Thinking becomes less tied to concrete reality.
Formal logical systems can be acquired. Can handle proportions, algebraic manipulation, other purely abstract processes. If a + b = x then a = x - b. If ma/ca = IQ = 1.00 then Ma = CA.
