CHD2220 Chapter 1 1/9; 1/11;1/14Chapter 1: • Development refers to change. There are lots of different types of change that takes place in children. o The story about the child “creeping”o Developmental changes are a big deal and takes place in all different forms. Social Cognitive Language Emotions o The story about the 3 year old child o What is the definition of development? Development refers to the gradual accumulation and integration of relatively permanent age related change in biological and psychological systems through transactions with the environment. • Developmental changes take a long time to occur. It’s not hours or days, its weeks and months for the most part. They take a while to develop. Developmental changes do not take place by themselves. Sometimes they need support from the physical and human development if they are going to take place. Development should progress in a way of a sequence. Your child should hit their milestones. And you need to become observant of the changes and you need to help stimulate them. And if the group of people fail to be there in the beginning, middle, and end, then some things will just not happen. • Gradual accumulation and integration - a lot of little pieces need to come together and integrate. Example: • Relatively permanent - developmental change when we see it naturally occurring in our kids is always a progression. It is always going forward. Kids are getting smarter, cognitively advancing, their language is getting more sophisticated, their coordination etc. is getting better. And developmental change should always progress and move forward. But every once in a while, a child is progressing through the developmental milestones but one day you notice that some things are not getting much better,CHD2220 Chapter 1 1/9; 1/11;1/14development is slowing down. Example: sometimes they will reach their milestone, and then will slow down and go backwards; developmental regression (like ritz syndrome????) (does it stay that way? Can it progress again?) emotionally, will it affect their development for the rest of their life? Or will it cause constant regression? )) resilience? • Change in biological and psychological systems? • Things that affect negatively or positively affect child development • One influence that will affect your children that will affect them more than anything else ( like housing, people, etc.) that is never talked about is how your babies turn out is more affected by who you decide to have your babies with than anyone else. What do you need to consider when it comes to who you are going to have your babies with?o The best way to conceive and carry a child and to raise is to have two people who really like each other (hopefully love), and decide to have a baby together and to raise it until adulthood and that share equally in the hard work that it takes to raise a child. It is scientifically proven that you child will have a better life; they will be highly confident, smart and wonderful human beings compared to when you have to raise a child alone whether the father left or only one spouse actually raises you and contributes to your life due to the other working all the time or caring more about their hobby etc. and unengaged, uninvolved partner who just contributes finances. Bad! o How do you find someone to have a baby with? How do you gather that data? What should they have? • I think when your with someone you need to bring up the topic of babies and children. (when your in a relationship with someone, you need to mention this early)• If a relationship is sort of looking super serious and you think you want to have kids, you need to go around children and observe them around children. • You need to know what kind of a parent they might make so you need to meet his parents. You need to get a good look at his parents and get to know them because every guy and every girl you inside have some of your mom and dad in you. Deep down, you do. And whatever that is inside of you, it can’t wait to get out. So watch their behaviors. That way you know what you are getting into. You need to see them in crisis etc.CHD2220 Chapter 1 1/9; 1/11;1/14o The example of the fire and the dad in the recliner “hey bitch put out the fire etc.” the guy has a big of his father in him….. watch out. o If we focused on the children and the outcome and they come out in a world with great resources and parents etc, if that’s the idea then it would some sense then not to have sex with anyone unless you have thought if that person would make a good potential partner to have and raise a baby with. o Aka, who you have a baby with or who you have sex with is extremely important to think about. Because you may have a baby with someone whom you should not have a baby with at all. Birth control does not always work.
