In Chapter 5, we explored how infants begin to enter the social world and develop emotional bonds with their caregivers. This short icebreaker discussion invites you to think about the social and emotional needs of newborns and to reflect on caregiving from both a developmental and personal perspective.

Initial Post Requirements

In your initial post, respond to the following prompts:

1. What social and emotional factors do you think are most important when caring for a newborn?
2. What do caregivers need to do to help a newborn feel safe and secure?
3. How would you personally take care of a new baby if needed (either your own or one you were asked to watch for a period of time)?
4. When do you think babies begin to recognize their caregivers? What signs or behaviors would indicate this recognition?

There are no right or wrong answers for this icebreakerfocus on sharing your thoughts and experiences.

Be sure to reference Chapter 5 (5.1) concepts or examples to support your response.
