Two pieces of advice I would give to a new parent about their baby's biosocial/physical development would be to give their infant an enriched environment and give them the chance to develop their muscle control. The rat experiment showed that an enriched environment helped them develop a thicker cortex. Well, why not try that with your child. Give them every opportunity to make more connections. Babies will need to learn muscle control because as they grow they figure out how their body works. Maybe make up some type of game that the two of you can do that way you are bonding and the baby is also learning.

I like how you paired learning with fun. I think that learning should be fun for an infant and what a great opportunity for bonding.
ReplyDeleteGood example with the rat experiment because it is proven that the environment is very important and by providing experiences it will help develop the infant's cortex better and stronger.
ReplyDeleteI really like your examples, it really helps get the picture of the point you're trying to get across. Also, I liked how you tied in motor control with playing a game with your child because both motor control and bonding are very important between a mother and her child.
