implications are, provide a justification and rationale for decisions and actions, help to build a repertoire
to help deal with the unexpected, identify problems, inform improvement and so forth.

ASSESSMENT:

Describe in your own words the layers of Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory.

Answer: Bronfenbrenners believed that a persons development was affected by everything in their
surroundings environment. He divided the persons environment into five different levels; the

Module 11 : Pre-Natal Development

ACTIVITY: "Life Before Birth"

1. What are your feelings and reactions about what you read?

Answer: My feelings and reaction is I was surprise and also I was happy to know the "life before birth".
2. Do you aggree that which is developing in the womb is a mere "blob of tissue" or "uterine content" as
abortionist claim? Give your explanation.

God. Psalm 139:13–14 (NIV) says “For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my
mother’s womb. I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”

Answer: That the unborn little being inside a human mother is also human is in their DNA, a unique,

Answer: Abortion absolutely should depend on the parents, whatever they want to do, its better to not
bring a life in torment, pain, poverty, it won't hurt, being seeing your child grow up and dying painfully
systematically would hurt, it depends on the parents and its up to them to decide, no one should
interfere in this matter.

4. What are the effects of alcohol, caffeine and nicotine on the developing embryo/fetus?

Answer: The effects of alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine on the developing embryo/ fetus during pregnancy
can have serious consequences for the fetus, such as low birth weight, congenital ano malies, or even
death.

APPLICATION:

Pretend you are a 4 months old in the womb. Your Mother is contemplating on doing abortion.
Write her a letter convincing her that you are a human being developing contrary to what she and other
pro-abortionists are thinking. Describe to her the developing that has already taken place in 4 months.
Reflect what you learned on pre-natal development. Give your letter this title,"A Letter from______"

ASSESSMENT:

1. Describe in your own words the stages of pre-natal development.

Answer: The process of prenatal development occurs in three main stages. The first two weeks after
conception are known as the germinal stage, the third through the eighth week is known as the
embryonic period, and the time from the ninth week until birth is known as the fetal period.
2. In one paragraph, summarize the hazards in pre-natal development.

REFLECTION :

Look at yourself. You are perfectly made. The cells of your lips are at your lips. Your mouth is close to
your nose. You can breath normally. Did it ever occur to you that it could have been otherwise? Any
feeling of gratitude? In one paragraph, write down your reflection.

REFLECTION:
The Bible says that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. As a future parent or as a caregiver
of children, reflect on: (one paragraph only)
1. What you should do more often for infants and toddlers.
Answer: I should do more often for infants and toddlers is to times for eating and sleeping
should be flexible: feed infants on demand and put them down to sleep when they need it; have
snacks on hand for toddlers and suggest rest if they are tired. As much as possible, allow them
to play alone or interact with caregivers and other children when they choose.
2. What you should refrain from doing to facilitate their growth and development.
Answer: Parents and caregivers should facilitate movement and growth by giving babies safe
environments to play and to explore on their own. Caregivers can lay young infants on a clean
blanket on the floor, surround them with clean, safe toys, and allow them to reach, wiggle, kick,
and roll on their own or in play with others.

Module 13 : Cognitive Development of Infants and Toddlers

Instruction:
1. Go back to Piaget's children: Lauren, Lucienne and Jacqueline. Determine the substage of
sensorimotor development that was demonstrated by each child.
2. It is said that children learn language faster than adults. Why is this so? Give your
hypothesis.
Answer: According to the “critical period hypothesis,” children learn languages more easily
because they're brains are still developing, and the plasticity of their brains allows them to
use both hemispheres to learn the language while adults would use only one hemisphere.

APPLICATION

Interview your mother/parents or any adult in your home and fill out the matrix below by putting a
check mark on its items are observed/performed in the infant/toddler. This makes use of the
instrument, "What infants and toddlers can do cognitively" from childhood care and development.
Module 14 : Socio-Emotional Development of Infants and Toddlers

ACTIVITY:

1. Do you agree with Dr. Nolte's poem?

Answer: I totally love this poem.I have read it many times and the first time I read it my children were
still young. I agree with everything she says about children and how they are respected and treated will
create either a positive, or negative results in the child and their perception of people, the world they
live in, and the outcome from bad parenting.

2. Which line of the poem is most meaningful to you?

Answer: If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith in himself and those around him.

ANALYSIS:

1. Based on Nolte's poem, which plays a very important role in the socio-development of the children?

Answer: The social environment that parents provide for their children plays a very important role in the
development of a child’s social and emotional skills during the early and middle childhood years. Parents
have a tremendous impact on the social and emotional development and overall well-being of their
child. Dorothy Law Nolte's beautiful poem summarizes the role of early experiences in children's social
and emotional development.

2. From what kind of home environment do children who are well-adjusted most probably come? What
about maladjusted children?
Answer: A child’s home influences his or her development. The home is a safe place for play and
nurturing, which is key for social and emotional development. The home is also where important
interactions happen with parents, caregivers, friends, siblings, and others in the community.

3. State in the sentence what the poem is saying about a child's socio-emotional development.

APPLICATION

check mark on its items are observed/performed in the infant/toddler. This makes use of the
