Summary: The Influence Of Babies

BABIES USE CRYING AS A FORM OF COMUNICATION USING IT TO IDENTIFIY WHEN they are hungry tired or distressed at around 5-6 weeks babies may start to make cooing noises

An explanation of the impact of current research into development and learning of babies and young children.

Interesting. She started off by showing a picture of a baby, and asking what would most people say is going on in the babies’ head. She said thirty years ago that most people would say not very much but after many years of research developmental psychologist have learned that babies are capable of thinking very complexly and can even think like some of the most brilliant scientist in the world. The first sort of experiment they did was with fifteen-month-old babies and they would give them broccoli or gold fish crackers. They would say yum about the broccoli and then ask the baby to hand them whichever one they wanted and they would hand the one the person said they liked. They did the same test when they are three months older and the babies would hand them the crackers, because everyone likes crackers more than vegetables. The fact that they could learn so much in a short period of time begs the question how can they learn so much?

From birth to 3 months their main source of communication will be crying. At this stage babies have very little understanding of what is happening to them and they do not know they are people. They will have different crying sounds and these will depend on what the baby needs for example for hunger, pain, feeling wet, fear and loneliness.

This is when we lay the foundation for the child’s learning. Their brains develop at a rapid pace. This is why the experiences they go through need to be diverse, creative and carefully planned on how the children develop and

During the course of my internship, I frequently wondered about the reasons why babies cry. Despite my best efforts to appease everything that I thought might be the problem, sometimes the baby would continue to scream and cry. Harding notes that babies do not cry out of a desire to relay a particular message, but that they merely cry due to distress or discomfort. However, when others respond to the cry as if the baby is trying to communicate a particular message, that it can help the caregiver to differentiate between different types of cries and other signals given by the infant. This can in turn possibly influence the baby’s recognition of the effects his or her vocalizations has on the behavior of others.

At the start of their lives, babies are programmed to seek out the things that they want by crying. As they mature, though, children's emotional capabilities expand, allowing them to develop a variety of skills that they will need in their adult lives.

I enjoyed learning about Piaget’s beliefs that infants are smart and active learners who adapt to experience. He theorizes there are four distinct periods of cognitive

Finally, at the end of my observations hours I reached to the conclusion that babies or infants use different ways to communicate with adults doing sounds, gestures, and expressions, and crying its one of the most common way that babies use to tell us what they want or what they

around 3 months infants begin to make babbling noises because they are learning to control

Crying is the main way babies communicate at 0-3 months. They will cry to express how they feel for example this could be when they are feeling hungry or when they want attention.

As the story begins one needs to understand how the cognitive development begins as a baby and the discrete stages of cognitive development, or “the emergence of the ability to think and understand”(Schater, et al, Page 319).

However, Infant learns social and emotional in multiple ways mainly through every day interactions with their parent, siblings having infant’s feeling the sense of belonging. Supporting infant’s development by interacting with the baby, comforting the child by exchanging hugs and kisses along with singing lullabies and rocking the infant when he is upset. Therefore, these interactions will begin to establish a trusting relationship with infant’s and their parent’s.

I agree with you on the video you chosen Corina it’s nice to know how the brain develops. I actually enjoy reading the chapters and the videos made me see how physically the brain and body develops. I knew some stuff about children but not the actual development on how the child grows so many things you have do to make sure your baby is doing well on developing. I always thought why the baby has to go so often to the doctor but now I understand it makes it clear from what I have read and the videos that classmates have posted. It’s good to know enough information about the child before having a baby not knowing what to do. It’s good for the parents to talk enough to the child so soon or later they can start talking having their own vocabulary.

A look at one year in the life of four babies from around the world, from Mongolia to Namibia to San Francisco to Tokyo.In the documentary named Babies, directed by Thomas Balmes is intended to allow the viewers to learn various ways babies can experience life and grow up after birth until their first year of life. In the four cases, two babies from an urban area and two from a rural area. This documentary proves that wherever you may be living you need to obtain different skills. Babies go through a cycle of learning and they hit multiple milestones before reaching age one. The babies are not the only ones learning as they grow, indeed so are the parents of that child. It is a big step to make a family whole with a baby and to care for them and wonder how to keep them thriving is difficult at times.
