Two pieces of advice that I would give to mother's about biosocial/physical development, would be the importance of motor skills and brain development. Mother's with newborn children need to keep thier child in an enriched environment in order to develop correctly. Motor skills are critical in development because if the child is not properly developed socially, learning disabilities tend to increase. Mother's should be aware of their child's cognitive development so when they get older, the child will be prepared. Brain development is also critical during this time because more parts of the brain are developing and growing. As long as the child grows up in an enriched environment, all other development should be normal.

  1. I think the importance of an enriched environment is sometimes overlooked or misunderstood, so I'm glad you brought it up. To have an enriched environment doesn't mean to surround the child with millions of toys. It means the child should be socialized- raised around people so that it can learn the proper social workings of families and peers.
