To Prepare:
- Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider social and emotional development in infancy.
- Imagine you must give a 5-minute presentation to expecting parents about how they might nurture, support, and enhance their child’s social and emotional development. For your intended audience, choose a cultural group or population different from your own.
- Develop a script for how you would present information from the literature and how the parents could apply it to their lives in tangible ways. Write the script using language actively directed toward your audience (e.g., “I would like to share with you several ways to…”). Practice reading your script aloud to ensure it could be presented within the time frame.
By Day 4
Post the presentation script that you would use to inform parents how they could nurture, support, and enhance their infant’s social and emotional development in the first year in a context that relates to their culture. (You do not have to record the presentation.)
