1. I don't know what studies show, but I believe that statement is true.
I agree with all of your answers. Note that the "always" in number 2 automatically makes the statement false.
Thank you!
You're welcome.
Certainly, I can help you with that! Let's go over your answers.
1. Studies show that there are no significant differences between mother-child play and father-child play with infants under 12 months of age. You have answered True, stating that they are too young to tell. However, this statement is False. Research suggests that even infants under 12 months of age can exhibit preferences for certain types of play with their mothers versus their fathers. To verify this information, you can look up studies on infant play preferences or consult scholarly articles on child development.
2. In-home daycare is always preferable to out-of-home daycare. You have answered False, asserting that children need to learn to be social. This statement is correct. While in-home daycare can offer more personalized care, out-of-home daycare can provide valuable opportunities for children to interact with their peers, learn social skills, and develop diverse relationships. To confirm this viewpoint, you can read articles or studies on the benefits of socialization in daycare settings.
3. Infants of depressed mothers are still better off staying home with their mothers than being sent to other caregiving situations. You have answered False, which is correct. Infants of depressed mothers may be at higher risk for various negative outcomes and may require additional support and intervention. In some cases, alternative caregiving situations may be more beneficial for the infant's well-being. To gather more information and evidence for this statement, you can refer to research studies and articles on maternal depression and its impact on infant development.
Remember, it is always a good idea to double-check your answers by consulting reliable sources and doing further research.
