Document Summary
Chapter 6: psychosocial development during the first three years (infancy) Emotions (pain and distress are early two emotions) Piercing cries, flailing of limbs, stiff body. Frustration (sick or injured, a weak cry of distress) More difficult to tell when the newborn is happy. When drowsy or sleeping, they sometimes smile. Elicited through gentle jiggling, tickling, or kissing, or seeing something they like (during the second month of life, infants begin to smile selectively at people they recognize. ) Temperament: a biological based tendency to respond to environment in predictable ways. Have you ever been told that you are a lot like someone in your family. Generally, how mellow or irritable are you from situation to situation. Adjustment is easiest when the child"s temperament matches the situation. Culturally (for example, what kind of temperament does the parent have?) Newborns and infants develop a sense of reliability of people and objects.
