There are babies all around the world, babies are being born every day. While every baby is, different and comes from different families they also come from different cultures and every culture is different from one another. Each culture has a different way of caring for an infant. Through these cultures every infant from a different culture has a different way of development physically, cognitive and emotional development. All these developments have an impact on the culture they come from as well as what resources each of these cultures have. Some cultures are fortunate enough to have resources, hospitals, homes, beds, privacy and help. What cultures may be different than what we live in, could we live in someone else’s culture and still …show more content…
They are playing together and talking a little. One gets upset with the other and starts crying. I take crying into a cognitive development because they recognize that pain as well as know that if they do cry they are going to get attention. They recognize this and that is why the little baby in this scene at the first of the movie continues to cry even though when hardly anything happened to him and the other little baby was fine. He wanted attention. Per S. Tulane (personal communication, October 14, 2017). At ages 4 to 6 months’ infants tend to observe more of interest at this age and with this they are observing the interest of their caregiver. When the infant was crying, and kept crying he was wanting attention. He was seeking for the attention of his caregiver to make things better. He could recognize this at such a young age as they develop that need and want for …show more content…
They are both laughing and playing together. Through this the older boy had more of a social life and experience with talking that he knew what was going on as you watch this scene you see that the baby is observing not only the brother’s actions but also following him when he talks or laughs the baby would too. As they play with the spoon in a bucket of water they laugh and are socializing. When this is, all happening, the baby decides it wants to play in the water more and ends up spilling the water. The mother comes in later and sees what the baby has done. She then gets mad at the child and is teaching them right by talking to him. She spanks him on the bum a couple times and gets after him. The baby knows that his mother is not happy and he too shows no emotion when she is getting after him. He knows that he is in trouble. Through this situation, the textbook talks how babies show a preference for languages, specifically their mothers. When this mother was getting after this child for spilling the water the child recognized the tone of her voice. Between the brain development the baby could recognize the tone of its mother’s voice and knew that he was in trouble (Levine & Munsch, 2016). Through what the textbook talked about and the scene from the movie we know that through this development that babies do hear and recognize the things around them and tones of

Poor Kids is a documentary that highlights a major issue the United States is suffering from. This issue is known as poverty, more specifically, childhood poverty. This documentary views the world through the eyes of children that are subjected to lives of poverty due to the poor financial state that their parents are in. Life is very rough for these children and they must live their everyday lives with little to none of the luxuries most people take for granted. Poor Kids sheds light on the painful fact that there are children that starve every day in the United States.
At first he was being fed his baby bottle and the day care giver burped him. Eric then began to get fussy and started crying and couldn’t be soothed by the caregiver holding him. The emotional state that he was in was sadness. A third caregiver then comforted him because as I observed his situation. The stage that best describes the infant in Erikson’s Psychosocial Development Theory is Trust vs. Mistrust. One reason that this could be is because during the first years of a baby’s life they face natural feelings of uncertainty. The second reason why is because since Eric didn’t get comforted until the third caregiver took him he could lack confidence in the environment around him. A third reason could be that he has heightened insecurities. This child’s emotional development compares with his normative development by showing the primary emotions. Infants don’t hide their emotions, but display them openly as an important means of communication, as Eric was doing by crying. The baby develops a repertoire of signals like the cry. The common characteristic of these behaviors is that they all help provide comfort and security by bringing a protective, caregiving adult close to the baby (Steinberg, Bornstein, Vandell, & Rook,
Babies is a documentary that centers around four diverse infants throughout their first year on Earth. These four babies are born in four different areas of the world. The film demonstrates how people from different parts of the world can grow up completely different than other parts, while still sharing many similarities. Ponijao is an African baby who is born in Opuwo, Namibia. Mari is a young Japanese girl who was born in Tokyo, Japan. Bayar is a baby who was born in Bayanchandmani, Mongolia. The fourth baby’s name is Hattie, born in San Francisco, California. While viewing the documentary, many theories and concepts in psychology are portrayed.
The film Babies is a film that follows four babies from San Francisco, Tokyo, Mongolia, and Namibia through their first year of life. The film has no talking or narrative. In many scenes, you don’t even see adults. This helps you get to see a baby’s perspective on the world. This movie showed how different cultures are when it comes to raising children.
According to Montgomery (2014) ‘Children in different parts of the world lead very different lives, partly because of the variations of cultural beliefs about childhood’. These variations are brought about by the fact that each child is different, with different beliefs, raised with different parenting methods in different countries with different cultural influences. All of which have individual definitions of what it is to be a child, and a child’s capabilities. These cultural and social differences all vary on their emphasis of traits that are important, such as individuality, independence, inter-dependancy and expectations of behaviour. Each child is constructed in a unique way according to these differences, and each difference impacts
Many of us can relate to baby Hattie and baby Mari, being raised with developmentally appropriate resources. However, this film has shown me that all cultures and family dynamics are different and there is no wrong way or right way. All four babies received all basic needs and were nurtured by their parents, which made them all the same regardless of their culture or

“Babies”. Is a documentary made by the Thomas Balmés. It offers a window on the lives of four infants in four completely different cultures. This is not a usual kind of documentary; there are no narration, no subtitles and actual dialogue was very minimal. The film explores childhood rituals, enculturation, socialization and parenthood. I will try to explore each of these themes and try to make the case that behaviors, values and fears are learned not something congenital. It has, in my opinion, comparative perspectives and different methods in rearing children in different societies. It achieves this by cutting the scenes in certain ways to show the differences between these different children. For example, in one part of the film, both Bayarjargal (the Mongolian child) and Mari (the Japanese child) were playing with their pet cats and then the two scenes were edited to a shot of Ponijo (the Namibian child) looking interested in flies. The four children developed in somewhat similar ways. However, there are differences in their behaviors due to the enculturation by seeing their parents or siblings who were doing what they thought to be the norms and the obvious landscape in which they are brought up. Two of the kids were born in rural areas (Namibia and Mongolia) and two were born in urban areas (the United States and Japan). The mothers of these infants were interviewed and chosen to be in the film
It discusses how children are born with that needs to connect with individuals around them. Teachers and providers create positive relationship with children from birth through the early years. The foundation for that healthy social and emotional development because it affects her children see the world, express themselves, manages their emotions, in establishing a positive relationship with others. There were several areas of development that included social interactions that focus on the relationship that we share and include relationship with adults and peers. Emotional awareness recognized and understands your feelings and actions of other people, and self-regulation where you have that ability to express your thoughts, feelings, and behavior in a socially appropriate way. There were many tips that were listed when working with infants from talking and reading, having that warm, responsive, and consistent care, maintaining predictable routines, and getting to know each child while following their lead. The importance of supporting children and developing social skills is critical for learning, happiness, and long-term. This development begins during infancy and can be supported through simple social games, emotional role model, and imitating an infant's facial expression and sounds. The importance of social-emotional development and toddlers makes an impact in a child life when these skills are developed starting in infancy. Encouraging positive behaviors and using positive discipline practices that helped to develop the ability to make good choices as well as recognizing the confidence that is built when these behaviors are repeated. This is a process for young children to learn these behaviors always remembering that a patient response will help especially when the behaviors are
The French documentary Babies shows the first year of development of four different babies who live in four completely different environments. The film follows Ponijao, a little girl from Namibia, Bayar, a little boy from Mongolia, Mari, a girl from Tokyo, and Hattie, a girl from San Francisco. Even though the babies live in very dissimilar parts of the world, their physical, cognitive, and social development seem to all follow a set pattern. On the other hand, the babies learn to do some activities distinctive to their environment by watching their parents and siblings. Therefore, Babies provides evidence to support both the nature and nurture sides of the debate.
Babies begin to develop language skills long before they embark on speaking. The foundation for learning language begins before birth by the baby listening and recognizing his/her mother’s heartbeat and voice in the womb. “In a study, researchers played a 2-minute recording of a popular Chinese poem to 60 pregnant women and their unborn babies while monitoring total heart rates. Heart rates rose while the babies listened to their own mother's voice, but they fell and stayed lower while the stranger recited. Obviously, the babies were paying close attention, leading the researchers to suspect they were not only recognizing morn, but beginning to learn the ins and outs of language” (Dawidowska and Harrar (2003))....
Some of them used to cry all day and there was some that cried from the time they can to the time they left. I remember when I had my son I was so frustrated because he kept crying and whining so I became frustrated. My mother told me you know he can sense when your angry, mad, or upset I shock like what I don't understand. So I listen to her to see will it ever work and it did work. The infant/toddler classes have taught me a lot about what she was telling me and it actually is true I saw it in one of my school book. When dealing with families you have to be respectful on how they want you to care for their child. For example, if a baby has been sleeping for numerous hours some parents want you to wake the baby up to feed him/her; then you have other parents who don't want their child to be woke from their sleep they rather you feed them when they wake up. When In was working in an infant room I used to have a co-worker that yell at the infants and say why are you crying for no reason . I used to have to tell her that she has to be calm and relax and that the babies are crying for a reason. During my years as an educator I notice a lot of people have a hard time with infants and/or prefer not to work with
They begin to realise they can make things happen; repeatedly shaking a rattle to make a noise (Thies & Thatcher, 2009). Infants begin to anticipate responses to reflexive movements, an infant may stop crying when laying down on mother’s lap in preparation for feeding (Sims & Hutchins, 2011). Knowledge of the world is limited, but is developing because it is based on physical interactions and experiences (Huitt & Hammond, 2003). In the middle period of this stage the child’s developing motor skills enables
