Week 8 Babies Writing Assignment

Q Watch the film Babies, please pay attention to the cognitive, physical and social-emotional developmental milestones of the babies from the film during the first year of their life. Also, note the cultural context. How does the director influence us, and use a “Western” lens to portray the families? Write a 3 page (single spaced) analysis specifically discussing the cognitive, physical and social-emotional developmental milestones of the babies from the film during the first year of their life. In the text, Chapters 4-7 will be helpful. Be sure to discuss: nutrition, parenting styles, motor development, Piaget’s cognitive development, language development, Erikson’s theory of Personality at infancy stage, Attachment- Bowlby, and how culture and socioeconomics play an influence.
