Lesson 4 Assignment
1. Lesson 4 Assignment (10 points): Go to the PBS website (http://www.pbs.org/parents/childdevelopment/), and search for the parent section.

For example, an emotional development might be when a child is happy around the parent and wants to be near them, a child will hug or get in the parent’s lap, this is showing a security based foundation. Another example is understanding the different cultural influences in different families. By this I mean that one family may love to cuddle with their child, to give them security, and another family may believe that this is not a positive thing and will spoil their child. Another example is watching interaction between parent and child to see how the parents encourage the child. Children may look for emotional reactions from a parent before doing something, because the facial reaction of the parent may say to the child “this is fine to do” or “This is not something that is appropriate.” As a home visitor I can use these tools to understand the level of security in the relationship between parent and child.
I can use the information I have learn to understand the stage a child is at in the motor skills development such as a two-year-old will tumble over, or be tipping over often when trying to run, such as the boy I observed in the mall. The two-year-old will try climbing into a chair by themselves, and will try to crawl or walk up or down
