Stranger anxiety is when an infant shows a fear and wariness of strangers. It first appears at about six months and continues to escalate through the
infant's first birthday. Separation protest is an infant's expression of distress over being separated from its caregiver. It peaks at about 15 months of
age among U.S. infants.

149. Describe the emotional regulation and coping techniques that infants develop over the initial years.

During the first year of life, the infant gradually develops an ability to inhibit, or minimize, the intensity and duration of emotional reactions. The
caregivers' actions influence the infant's neurobiological regulation of emotions. By soothing the infant, caregivers help infants to modulate their
emotion and reduce the level of stress hormones. Later in infancy, when they become aroused, infants sometimes redirect their attention or distract
themselves in order to reduce their arousal. By two years of age, toddlers can use language to define their feeling states and the context that is
upsetting them.
Contexts can influence emotional regulation. Infants are often affected by fatigue, hunger, time of day, which people are around them, and where
they are. Infants must learn to adapt to different contexts that require emotional regulation.

fades away.

151. List and describe the three types of temperament as classified by Alexander Chess and Stella Thomas. Provide examples of how a baby with
each type might respond to meeting a new person in a new situation.

Psychiatrists Alexander Chess and Stella Thomas identified three basic types, or clusters, of temperament:
Easy: An easy child is generally in a positive mood, quickly establishes regular routines in infancy, and adapts easily to new experiences.
Difficult: A difficult child reacts negatively and cries frequently, engages in irregular daily routines, and is slow to accept change.
Slow-to-warm-up: A slow-to-warm-up child has a low activity level, is somewhat negative, and displays a low intensity of mood.
In their longitudinal investigation, Chess and Thomas found that 40 percent of the children they studied could be classified as easy, 10 percent as
difficult, and 15 percent as slow to warm up. 35 percent did not fit any of the three patterns.

152. What are the recommended parenting strategies for different children’s temperaments?

For one, pay respect to individuality, thus, work towards goals differently for each child. Additionally, structure the environment differently for each
child. Crowded noisy environments are harder for difficult children that easier children. Children with a slow to warm up temperament could use
slower entry to new contexts. Additionally, avoid pigeonholing children into categories, and giving negative labels, such as “difficult” as this could
be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

153. Briefly describe the four phases of attachment as identified by John Bowlby.

According to Bowlby, attachment does not emerge suddenly but rather develops in a series of phases, moving from a baby's general preference for
human beings to a partnership with primary caregivers. The following are four such phases based on Bowlby's conceptualization of attachment:
Phase 1: Infants instinctively direct their attachment to human figures.
Phase 2: Attachment becomes focused on one figure, usually the primary caregiver, as the baby gradually learns to distinguish familiar from
unfamiliar people.
Phase 3: Specific attachments develop, and babies actively seek contact with regular caregivers.
Phase 4: Children become aware of others' feelings, goals, and plans and begin to take these into account in forming their own actions.

(a) Insecure avoidant babies exhibit insecurity by avoiding the caregiver. (b) Insecure resistant babies often cling to the caregiver and then resist him
or her by fighting against closeness, perhaps by kicking or pushing away. (c) Insecure disorganized babies exhibit insecurity by being disorganized
and disoriented. In the “Strange Situation” these babies may appear dazed and confused.

The Strange Situation is an observational measure of infant attachment that requires the infant to move through a series of introductions, separations,
and reunions with the caregiver and an adult stranger in the prescribed order. Some critics believe that the isolated, controlled events of the setting
might not necessarily reflect what would happen if infants were observed with their caregiver in a natural environment.

Reciprocal socialization is socialization that is bidirectional; children socialize their parents, and parents socialize their children. Scaffolding is
parental behavior that supports children's efforts, allowing them to be more skillful than they would be if they were to rely on only their own abilities.

157. Explain how the quality and quantity of child care affect children?

When quality of care giving was high, children performed better on cognitive and language tasks, were more cooperative with their mothers during
play, showed more positive and skilled interaction with peers, and had fewer behavior problems. Caregiver training and good child-staff ratios were
connected to higher cognitive and social competence when children were 54 months of age. Poor quality care was related to insecure attachment, but
only if the mother was low in sensitivity and responsiveness. In terms of amount, above 30 hours or more per week in child care, led to less optimal
development, and the more time in non-relative child care connected to higher levels of risk-taking and impulsivity at 15 years of age(Vandell &
others, 2015). However, some research has shown that as long as the child care is of high quality, increased quantity, even more than 45 hours a
week, connects with reduced internalizing and externalizing problems.
