Objectives
After studying this lesson, you will be able to
• identify the three main aspects of social-emotional development.
• differentiate between high-reactive infants and low-reactive infants and
then identify three parenting behaviors (environmental factors) that
infl uence high-reactive children’s temperaments.
• explain the meaning of “serve and return” in infant-adult relationships
and give an example of a positive and a negative interaction.
• describe how babies develop focused attachment.
• explain the roots of four emotions—love, fear, anxiety, and anger.
• give examples of social-emotional developmental milestones children
might achieve in the fi rst year.
Organize your notes for this lesson according
to the three aspects of social-emotional
development. In the middle circle of a chart like
the one shown, write Aspects of Social-Emotional
Development. Then, draw three outer circles
labeled disposition, social relations, and
emotions. For each note you take, place it next to
the circle to which it most closely relates.
Skim this lesson, paying close attention to the figures included in each section.
For each figure, write a one- to two-sentence prediction about how the figure
illustrates a topic covered. Then, after reading, revisit your predictions and
update or correct them to reflect what you learned. How well do the figures
illustrate the concepts in this lesson? What other figure options might expand
your understanding of the concepts?
