  4. Multiple areas of infant development • Motor • jerky hand movements to walking • Communication • crying to talking • Social • No sense of self/other to complex relationships • Emotional • crying to laughing and the beginnings of pride • Cognitive • ‘Where’s that breast’ to make-believe

  5. Infancy in its own terms • Nature wants children to be children before they are men. If we deliberately depart from this order, we shall get premature fruits which are neither ripe nor well flavored and which soon decay. We shall have youthful sages and grown up children. Childhood has ways of seeing, thinking, and feeling, peculiar to itself; nothing can be more foolish than to substitute our ways for them. • Jean Jacques Rousseau (quoted in Bjorklund)
