Transcript: Infant Infant: -the transition period intervening between birth and 2 weeks of life. Newborn Newborn or Neonate: -an infant who is within hours, days, or up to a few weeks from birth -came from the Latin word "Neonatus" means Newborn Newborns up to 2 daysare typically unattractive and extremely feeble. Unable to distinguish their surroundings but still they can sense and be affected by their environment from the time they are born. More often they are asleep or drowsy, cries and gets excited easily. Behavior of the newborn consists of reflexes. Florijell Fulgar Neonate and Neonatal Scale - the first 4 weeks of a child's life - measured at one minute after birth and 5 minutes after. (represents a time when changes are very rapid, and many critical events can occur.) -is a benign, flat, congenital birth mark with wavy borders and irregular shape. -most common color is blue, although they can be blue-gray, blue-black or even deep brown -head circumference is 34-35 cms. at birth and enlarges, averaging 44cms by 6 mos and 47 cms, by thefirst yearof life. Reflexes -Lack of these reflexes responses in infants and their failure to disappear as the baby matures are signs of a disorder in the nervous system. Physical Growth -height of the infant at birth is around 50cms in length. -boys are taller than girls at age 2. -there is no dominance of either sex in terms oh height at age 5-10. -taller boys are surpassed by girls at age 11-13 -males demostrate their height dominance at 14 Mnemonics -certain mnemonics have been utilized to facilitate rapid computation of the weights and heights of infants and children. -at birth, the approximate weight of the infants is 6lbs, -10 days after birth weight is replenish. -the process of skeletal development occurs eventually in prenatal period. -Muscle growth of infants is small in length, breadth and thicknessand is therefore not sufficient for energy regulation. Lucille Eramis Perceptual Skills *sensitive to brightness *visual images are blurred *visual acuity is poor *intrasensory coordination of sounds and sights is likely to be present *sensitive to sounds and can also determine where the location of the sound is *develop basic taste preferences *capable of determining tastes *sense odor is innate *capable of differentiating odors *sensitive to a variety of tactile stimuli *body heat is actively responsive to a suddendrop in room temperature *high tolerance of and insensitive to pain Motor Development Cognitive Function Sarena Del Mundo Emotional Development Language Development Social and Moral Development The Newborn and the Infancy Period *he responds with "primary circular reaction" on those things around his body. *the process is established by repeating organized and coordinated actions. -grows on fetuses as -a normal part of gestation, but is usually shed and replaced by vellus hair at about 33 to 36 weeks of gestational age Mongolian-Spot *Accomodation: -slowly brings out the potential or skills and knowledge that characterize the process of human development *eye-hand coordination is essential. Cephalocaudal Law: -motor development starts from head to foot -head, neck and upper extremities, legs and lower extremities The Newborn and the Infancy Period *infant's 1st distinct motor activity is marked by the REACHING-PREHENSIL pattern. *voluntary and permanent motor process involving: visual, factual, kinesthetic stimuli (reflex) *by the end of there is fairly rapid movement in their motor ability. *there are now mature enough to reach, which marks the beginning of motor development *helpless *incapable of moving on their own *later stage, they develop the thinking that an object exist through imagination even when it is not being perceived These responses serve as “signals” which attract adults to be near the newborn. Milia A full range of emotions can develop from sad to happy to angry feelings. Emotional development start in early childhood and go up to adulth *objects and events seen for the "first time" are vividly remembred *This shows you that you have good emotional development. *final stage, happens w/in the 2nd year of life. *he acquires a full realization of "object permanence" and can search for objects in different places. -is the waxy or cheese-like white substance found coating the skin of newborn human babies. -a whitish pinpoint spot most found the surface of the nose. -mottling of skin is present exposure to cold. -The features mentioned above disappearas the baby grows older. *immediate experience is derived through the senses, interaction and environment Emotional development is a way of learning to deal with your emotion in a proper way. The neonate’s discovery of people may be supported by his crying, smiling and vocalizing Tonic neck reflex -Emotional development comes about with maturity. Proximodistal Law: -development from center to the extremities -trunk or torso, shoulders, hands and fingers Neonate Thank you for listening... Neck righting
