  1. Infant Development OBJECTIVES: You will be able to Identify and describe the areas of development Explore the purpose of Primitive Reflexes Analyze the principles of development Create an activity related to the principles of development

  2. AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT

  3. Growth A child’s physical increase in size or amount that is easily observed

  4. Development The ability of a child to do things that are complex and difficult.

  5. Primitive Reflexes

  8. Moro (Startle) Reflex • http://youtu.be/Erythu7xZ1U

  9. Tonic Neck Reflex • http://youtu.be/dPyBzlD-854

  10. Babinski Reflex • http://youtu.be/oI_ONptx2Ns

  11. Palmar/Plantar (Grasping) Reflex • Plantar http://youtu.be/6Ch48Sg9mVE • Palmar http://youtu.be/8CcxayXUFvs

  12. Stepping (Walking) Reflex • http://youtu.be/LoOUTYNC08k

  13. What is the purpose of these reflexes? • Think about it, write about it and then share with your partner.

  14. Perceptual Skills of the Newborn

  15. Principles of Development • Development occurs in a sequence or pattern of stages that can be predicted. • Infants progress through similar stages in about the same order Example: Infants learn to hold their head up steadily before they learn to sit up http://youtu.be/GNGrHMczZzg http://youtu.be/70fFCOCmBUg

  16. Principles of Development • Development occurs at a different rate for different children • Each child is an individual and will progress through the stages at a different rate Example: One infant learns to crawl and stand up faster than the other • http://youtu.be/Wkxfapvk68A

  17. Principles of Development • Developmental skills build on earlier learning. • Development follows a step by step sequence Example: Before the infant uses their fingers to pick up objects, they use their whole hands to reach and grasp http://youtu.be/9fDYACARXMw http://youtu.be/Ll1eRBOKb1g

  18. Principles of Development • Each area of development is related to other areas (interrelated) • Physical, Intellectual, Emotional and Social development occurs continually and affect each other Example:Crawling requires Physical strength; Intellectual coordination; Emotional/Social motivation http://youtu.be/R4wErgqCXkQ http://youtu.be/14gWirURq6I

  19. Principles of Development • Development continues throughout life • Sometimes it happens quickly sometimes it progresses slowly. • It does not stop at a certain age! Example: The love of Reading is a lifelong skill that continues to develop throughout life http://youtu.be/OwXL92b02ak http://youtu.be/Nv9qwdXmgRQ http://youtu.be/w6fBKNBoZPg

  20. Examples of Basic Developmental Milestones • Development 4-6 months • Development 6-8 Months • Development 8-10 months

  21. Journal Question Imagine that babies were born with the ability to think abstractly just like adults. How would things be different? How would things be the same? Explain using your knowledge of principles of development.
