Document Summary
Increase in parenting stress = increased likelihood of childhood anxiety. Media = increasingly generalized: statements may not always apply to all groups of populations, as they have not yet been experimented on all types of people. Is it just prenatal stress or does the environment also play a role: don"t use food as a positive reinforcement in schools located in areas of low socioeconomic class (builds unhealthy relationship with food) Infant reflexes: myelination and development of motor skills, gross/fine motor skills development; implications for schooling and academic performance, debate in education (monday): handwriting vs. typing, gross motor skills = large limb movements, fine motor skills = specific movements. Interested in the philosophical question of how we come to know and understand our world, an area of study referred to as epistemology: combination of previous interest in biology and new interest in philosophy.
