Document Summary

Descriptive - need to know whats normal dev and also what the range is. Ex when babies start to walk around 12 months (first steps) There is an avg but also a huge range which is normal as well. Maybe something in brain, more chubby/skinny, lot of diff explanations. Ready to walk, motivate to walk, was brain ready to walk, are muscles ready to walk, etc. Practical - parental leave can now be 18 months, dad can have an extra 5 weeks which is huge. Gvt policies affect the decisions that parents make, ex daycare price. One of the first was louis the 13th. Prob women doing obs that never got to hear about. Can learn a lot from diary studies, observations, details, good for generating theories but not necessarily good for testing theories bc sample size of 1 baby. Diary studies can be biased in sense that focus on 1 aspect more carefully than others.
