  2. Discuss • * A huge amount of development occurs in the first year. • List as many things as you can think of that a baby can do at one year old, that have developed since that baby was born.

  3. Brainstorm • Do the terms growth and development mean the same thing? • Explain what you think they mean • On pg. 1B #1 in packet (see text pg. 209)

  4. Activity—Patterns of Dev. • Read pg. 209-210 in textbook • On pg. 1B in packet, record a description, example, and picture of each pattern of development

  5. Activity • Partner: As partners use T-Chart that compares Nature vs. Nurture on pg. 1B packet • Include the areas: heredity, nutrition, health, experiences & environment • Refer to text pages 210-214 • Vocabulary Words: (write meanings in chart) Stimulating Environment Developmental Milestones

  6. Nature vs. Nurture

  7. Patterns of Physical Development • Growth: changes in size • Development: Increases and changes in PIES (physical, intellectual, emotional, social or) skills

  8. Physical Development Patterns

  9. Head to Foot

  10. Near to Far

  11. Simple to complex

  12. Developmental milestone Key skills and abilities that children usually do at certain ages in a specific sequence. Help to know if a child is progressing normally. hold head up sit up walk

  13. Inherited Traits Don’t always emerge in children because heredity and environment play a role in development. Child may have no opportunity to develop an inherited talent.

  14. Nutrition Fuels Development • Without it, baby is at risk for illness, delayed growth, and brain development. (even death)

  15. Scooting not crawling

  16. Good Health • A healthy baby is more likely to eat well and have energy to be active. Activity provides varied experiences that stimulate the brain and help muscle dev.

  17. Brain Development • Brain development impacts ALL areas of development. This is linked to: • Quantity AND variety of experiences **Failure to achieve normal brain development at the infant stage can have….. LIFE LONG EFFECTS

  18. Stimulating Environment • Baby needs a variety of things to see, hear, touch, smell, taste.

  19. Growth During the First Year • Birth to age one: • Babies triple their birth weight • Increase length by 50% Growth Chart: average weight and height of girls and boys at various ages • Very few babies match the average growth chart • Doctors watch for steady growth • Drops in weight could indicate health concerns

  20. Growth the First YearWeight Newborns: Lose 10% of weight in first five days First 6 months: gains 1-2 lbs per month Next 6 months: Gains about 1 pound per month

  21. Growth the First YearLength Length: babies are measured while laying down • Average newborn 20 inches • Heredity influences height and weight • Bone growth is rapid the first year

  22. Growth the First YearBody Shape • Curled Position: legs curled and feet curled inward • Head: may be cone shape • Arms & legs: are skinny • Abdomen: large • Umbilical cord: dries up and drops off in about 3 weeks • Gradually babies stretch out, uncurl, lose chubby appearance

  23. Growth In the First YearProportion Proportion: the size in relationship between different parts of the body • Baby’s head and abdomen are large • Legs and arms are short & small • Head grows rapidly because of developing brain Fontanels: begin closing during first year

  24. Reflexes Automatic reflexes babies are born with • Sucking: when something placed in mouth-suck • Rooting: stroke cheek head will turn towards you • Palmar Grasp: fingers curl • Moro Reflex: arms will thrust out and then in • Plantar Grasp: toes curl

  25. Gross Motor Skills • Large Motor skills • Involve large muscles of the body such as: legs, shoulders Example: jumping, running, waving arm

  26. Fine Motor Skills • Small motor skills • Involve the smaller muscles of the body such as fingers • Example: picking up cereal with fingers

  27. Look up in Ch. 7 • Describe how the development of depth perception impacts a baby’s interaction with the world. • Why is the development of hand-eye coordination important?

  28. Development During First Year(not notes)How long does it take for a baby’s eye sight to reach clarity and sharpness of an adult?When a baby reaches her hand out for something, whatis she demonstrating?Of the five senses … which ones develop before birth?

  29. Development First Year

  30. Project • Create an activity for an infant that promotes the development of vision or touch. Example: Mobiles, posters or feely boards Explain how it will promote early development See packet for more details

  31. SIDS Awareness
