Write 1 – 2 pages about an infant (0-2 yrs)
Infancy Interview
For this assignment write 1 – 2 pages about an infant (0-2 yrs). If you do not know anyone with an infant or cannot find anyone with an infant, complete the Infancy Autobiography. To learn about the infant, you will interview one of its parents or caretakers. You will then write an analysis of the interview.
Rules about the interview:
It can be done virtually (e.g. Zoom), in person, or over the phone. But it does need to be an interview. You cannot just e-mail the questions.
If possible, you should record the interview and then take notes later. This will allow you to feel more like you are having a real conversation rather than just typing while the other person talks.
This is the only interview where you will not interview the subject directly.
For the interview, ask the following questions:
What is a typical day like for the infant?
What activities do they (the infant) enjoy most?
What activities do they (the infant) enjoy least?
Describe their“best friend” (someone besides the primary caregiver that has a bond with the infant). What qualities does he/she have?
What is their greatest achievement thus far? (Examples might be learning to crawl, walk, say something, etc.)
What is the biggest challenge they present for their caretaker?
What are you (the caregiver) looking forward to in the infant’s near future (within the next year)?
What are you (the caregiver) looking forward to in the infant’s far future (5, 10, or 20 years down the road)?
Make sure the written report includes the following:
Abrief introduction. It does not need to be long but at least a few sentences that let us know what we should be expecting to read (a developmental analysis).
An analysis ofthe subject’s development. The best approach is to have one paragraph for each of the domains listed in the assignment directions (socioemotional, cognitive, and physical).If there is anything that might be considered non-normative, include that as well in a separate paragraph.
All three domains must be addressed and this paper should incorporate at least three developmental concepts/terms from at least two domains.A concept is a word that is bolded in the assigned reading. When you use a concept from the assigned reading or class put it in bold. Define the concepts you use and explain how the concept was demonstrated in your life.
A brief conclusion that sums up the subject’s development. This only needs to be a few sentences.
