Document Summary
Development takes place through reciprocal interactions (called proximal. Development depends on the nature of the individual and the nature of environment. All of these affecting the well-being of not only the child but the family also. Caring relationships are fundamental mediators of development. Regulatory systems require consistent care-giving and scaffolding in infancy. Good relationships = responsive, interactive, reciprocal, tuned in . Caregiver reads cues and responds (timely, appropriately) Good relationships support development in emotional and cognitive domains. Culture/children jointly shape development, e. g. how, when babies/children are fed. Sets cultural norms; ie how-to manual for parents, families, caregivers. Establishes expectations, standards, roles for parents, grandparents, siblings, extended family, friends. Development is characterized by both small/ continuous changes and large/dramatic developmental transitions. Always occur, but more often and more intensely in early years. Involves major reorientation of how child relates to environment. Emotional communication among caregiver/child is significant at this time. Development is shaped by risk and protective factors.
