...Infancy Anna Parks PSY/375 7-21-14 Dr. Luster Infancy Every human being begins developing in one way or another, from the moment they come into this world. Development and all its aspects begin in infancy and continue throughout one’s entire lifetime. It is a common belief that infants and young children are influenced by the environment that surrounds them. Cognitive and social aspects of development are shaped and molded at an early age, as well as language, speech, perception, and motor skills. A young child’s life is influenced by parents and family members, which is why they have a significant impact on the child’s development. When a child is old enough to attend school, he or she will also begin to adapt to the atmosphere of the school they are attending and to educational environment in that school; this will in turn affect the child’s cognitive development and social skills. When a baby is first born, his or her brain begins to go through developmental changes. During the early stages of childhood, experiences can be split into two categories, experience-expectant and experience-dependent. Expectant experiences are those experiences that are common and somewhat universal experiences, and that most infants go through. Some of these experiences can be, but are not limited to, love from parents or families, perception of surrounding objects, and recognizing facial expressions (Berger, 2008). Dependent experiences are less universal and are more individualized, and...

Original sin is still present, but God, being free and independent of us, freely chooses to save infants who are not capable of making a choice to commit their lives to Christ. Introduction Infant salvation is a complex issue, sometimes controversial and a topic of much debate within Christendom. The issue of infant salvation first arose with the institution of infant baptism, done so that infants who died would be baptized, and thus saved in case of death. Though that debate has subsided in recent years, it is not due to a consensus conclusion of the arguments among theologians and denominational leaders, but instead, it has subsided...

...Physical Development: Age 0–2 Infants (birth to age 1) and toddlers (ages 1 to 2) grow quickly; bodily changes are rapid and profound. Physical development refers to biological changes that children undergo as they age. Important aspects that determine the progress of physical development in infancy and toddlerhood include physical and brain changes; development of reflexes, motor skills, sensations, perceptions, and learning skills; and health issues. The first 4 weeks of life are termed the neonatal period. Most babies weigh between 5 1/2 and 10 pounds, and are between 18 and 22 inches long. Male babies are generally slightly heavier and longer than female babies. Neonates born weighing less than 5 1/2 pounds are of low birthweight. Infants who arrive before their due date are preterm or premature, and these babies may or may not have a low birthweight. Babies who arrive on or shortly after their due date are full‐term. Infants who arrive 2 or more weeks after their due date are postmature. Both premature and postmature babies are at higher risk of complications such as sickness, brain damage, or death, than are full‐term babies. Physical growth is especially rapid during the first 2 years. An infant's birthweight generally doubles by 6 months and triples by the infant's first birthday. Similarly, a baby grows between 10 and 12 inches in length (or height), and the baby's proportions change during the first 2 years. The size of an infant's head decreases in proportion...

...The Disciplining of Infants Marie Cross BSHS/342 November 19, 2011 Linda Branch, Ph. D. The Disciplining of Infants There are opposing schools of thought on the benefits of disciplining infants. Some experts and parents believe that infants cannot comprehend discipline or right from wrong. The other side believes that infants are clever and know how to test the limitations of their environments. It is a fact that infants do need structure and protection; however, doctors, parents, and other experts of child psychology differ in opinion about the effectiveness of positive discipline and negative discipline when applied to infants. According to Dr. Lawrence Kutner (2009), the connotations of discipline need to be reevaluated differently by the caretaker and viewed from another perspective. Instead of viewing discipline as punishment, parents should view discipline as a teaching opportunity between child and parent. Dr. Kutner (2009) advises that warnings, swats on the child’s bottom, and threats are nonproductive in achieving desired results. His advice is to use environmental controls. Environmental controls are a fancy moniker used in describing how to make the home or other environments child-proof and safe (Kutner, 2009.). For example, he asserts that covering the electrical socket is better than yelling at the child to stop playing with it. The parent must realize that the child has a natural curiosity to explore and he or she is not mentally developed enough...

...To: Group Members: Tya, Amanda, Jim From: TSmith1486 Date: September 30, 2013 Subject: Cloth Diapers (Green Diapers) There are a number of reasons a new parent should consider cloth over disposable when diapering a baby, including cost, environmental concerns and the obvious and most important reason, the health and comfort of a new parent’s baby. For my research I used Bummis Organics (Bumm Eze) & Fuzzibunz. • Convenience: Using and caring for diapers is surprisingly easy. However, new parents will be doing laundry more often, and can be harder to use when on the go.( New parents will need to tote any soiled cloth diapers back home in a waterproof bags, or do laundry if your away for an extended period of time). • Performance: Cloth diapers keep baby dry and comfortable. They are all Natural and let air get to babies skin. They hold and contain waste comparable to disposable diapers. • Adaptability: Cloth diaper come in many shapes and size. They have leg elastic to hug babies’ legs and prevent leakage. Diapers come pre-folded, flat and contoured. They are durable and strong. They have many absorbent inserts for changing convenience. • Price: Initially cost per unit is more than disposable diapers at $19.95 (FuzziBunz.com, 2014) but long-term price is less. For example Consumer Reports (Diaper buying guide, 2012) estimates that parents can save $1,500.00 to $2,000.00 by using cloth diapers instead of disposables- and cloth diaper retailer (http://www.jilliansdrawes...

...Abusive head trauma (AHT), also called shaken baby syndrome, is a traumatic brain injury to a child as a result of child abuse. Shaking as well as throwing a baby constitutes AHT. When a caretaker forcefully shakes a baby, his or her head muscles will rotate in a circular motion as their head whips back and forth. Impact is especially damaging because the fast acceleration and deceleration is very dangerous and causes blood vessels to rupture, tearing in the brain, and bleeding of the brain. AHT is the most common cause of traumatic brain injury in infants. Around 25% of victims die from AHT. Infants are at a high risk of AHT due to their large head size relative to the rest of their body and their inability to support their head with their neck at a young age. In most cases, the caregiver of the baby cannot get the baby to fall asleep or stop crying, so out of frustration will shake or throw the baby. Common triggers of AHT include crying, toilet training issues, interrupting, and feeding issues. Often times, the baby will stop crying after being shaken because his or her brain is not receiving enough oxygen and consequently the baby falls asleep. This is considered a hypoxic-ischemic brain injury when the brain experiences a decrease of oxygen that is dangerous (hypoxia) and a diminished blood supply (ischemia). Long-term effects of AHT include brain damage, learning difficulties, learning behavioral problems, seizures, deafness, cerebral palsy, and permanent vegetative state...

... Sweet Dreams By: Nikki Schott, Autumn Holzinger and Korina Stelzenmueller Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is when a seemingly healthy infant, usually less than a year old, suddenly die to an unknown cause. However, there are some physical and sleep factors that can make an infant more likely to get SIDS. One of the main physical factors are brain defects, which happened when the part of the brain that tells the body to breath has not fully functioned properly. Additionally, the weight of the infant at birth is a very important cause of SIDS, since a premature baby’s body and brain has not fully developed. Moreover, the way an infant sleeps also can cause SIDS. For example, if an infant sleeps on his stomach, instead his back, he or she will have a hard time breathing. Furthermore, if an infant sleeps in the same bed as the parent, the parent might accidentally hurt him since infants are so delicate. To attempt to solve this problem and reduce the percentage of infants that die from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome; Nikki Schott, Autumn Holzinger and Korina Stelzenmueller are currently working on a baby vital monitoring system to alert parents when the vitals of an infant is out of the recommended range while the newborn is sleeping. The three group member have decided to name this project Sweet Dreams, since it allows parents to sleep easily knowing that their child will be fine with the vital monitoring system that they are building. Nikki Schott, explained that they had...

...A Theoretical Definition of Anxiety Cindy Lucas The University of Texas at Arlington College of Nursing In partial fulfillment of the requirements of N5327 Exploring Science and Theories in Nursing Patricia Thomas, PhD, RN, NNP-BC September 10, 2014 A Theoretical Definition of Anxiety In the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) parents of premature and critically ill infants experience a great deal of emotion during the time their infant is in the NICU. Parents are thrust into the world of immaturity of bodily systems, disturbing alarm sounds, and unfamiliar words; like apnea and bradycardia. Anxious parents in the NICU are often described by nurses and the medical team as difficult or annoying because in our roles in the NICU we forget that this is a crisis for these parents and it is difficult for them to cope with the situation. Parents in the NICU often talk to the nurse about their feelings of anxiety in regards to the health of their infant and the NICU environment in general. Thousands of infants are born premature or critically ill on an annual basis which presents a challenge in the NICU to facilitate the bonding and attachment of parent and infant which can often cause parents a great deal of anxiety. Rationale for Selecting Concept Anxiety in the parents of a premature infant is evident every day in the NICU. I chose to define this concept to hopefully reveal interventions and therapies to help the parents of the infants that I care for cope with...

...“BABY GAMES” 2) Never say "Baby": (Materials- baby safety pins or another type of baby object you can place on a string for each woman at the party as well as string or yarn, enough for each woman to wear as a necklace). Have each woman place the necklace with the baby safety pins around her neck when she gets to the party. The rules for this baby shower game are given out at the beginning of the baby shower that whenever someone says the word "baby" during the shower, any woman who calls it out gets a pin from the other woman who stated the word. At the end of the baby shower, the woman with the most pins wins a prize. 42) Pregnant for a Day Co-Ed Game (Materials: Bag of medium balloons, a roll of yarn cut into approx. 20 inch pieces, and a chair for each male participant). Don't tell the object of the game up-front. Make a statement to the women in attendance-- "How many of us women wished that men could be pregnant just for one day?" This statement will leave the men full of suspicion as to what was about to unfold. Hand each man a balloon. For each man that doesn't have on shoes with shoe laces, tie the piece of yarn around each of his slip on shoes to mimic a shoestring. Do not form the bow. Only make a knot to help keep the yarn around the shoe. For those who do have on string up shoes, instruct them to untie their shoes. Instruct each man to blow up his balloon and tell each man when to stop filling it with air. The balloons should be filled with enough air that...

...What is SIDS? Sudden infant death syndrome also known as SIDS is when a healthy infant dies in their sleep with no explanation. As if being a parent is not scary enough now you worry about your child for their entire first year of life. Things you can do to help prevent SIDS place your baby on his or her back to sleep not on his or her side or stomach. Even though as new parents we tend to use things that are close to us to put our babies down to sleep or for a nap but we should try to avoid using a car seat, swing, bouncy seat, stroller, infant carrier, or infant sling for routine sleep. Always try to use a crib or a bassinet for routine sleeping. As new parents especially us new moms, we get so caught up in our Pinterest boards and the perfect nursery for our little one. We should try to avoid using blankets, pillows or bumper pads for your infants first year of life. When deciding on a mattress for your baby make sure it is firm and covered by a fitted sheet designed specially for that mattress. I know that a lot of parents are guilty about this next one co-sleeping. Co-sleeping is easy for new parents and the stress of a baby on new parents makes it seem even easier especially when baby doesn't sleep throughout the entire night. Co-sleeping can also lead to many other misfortunate things such as a parent rolling on a baby and suffocation.
