Review Social-Emotional Milestones
This assignment has 2 parts:
Part 1: Apply what you have learned about social-emotional development to the child in this video (material from the 3 readings, skills & processes, milestones, etc.).
Part 2: Your best friend just had her first family-teacher conference for her baby. The teachers commented on the baby’s social-emotional development. Your friend comes to you and confesses that she doesn’t understand how babies can develop socially or emotionally – they are just babies. Cite extensive evidence from each of the readings, Power Point and video to explain to your friend:
- What are the aspects of a baby’s social development? What are the aspects of a baby’s emotional development?
- What can babies do socially and emotionally?
- What should infant teachers do to support a baby’s social-emotional development?
