I have to find four songs for psychology that are about development…they cant be all about one topic either:

Here are some examples of development themes:

-prenatal development (zygotes, and fertilizationa and stuff)
-infancy
-the stages of development (like piaget and eriksons stages)
-imprinting
-attatchment
-stranger anxiety
-PARENTING (I really want one on this)
-the styles of parenting are : “because i said so,” “Do whatever you want,” and “I said do this because of this reason.”
-self concept: i sense of ones identity
-adolescence: like about peer pressure and getting away from your parents
-physical development: puberty and such
-social development:
-Biological clock
-Alzheimers
-Autism
Social clock

Early Childhood Development: Prenatal Through Age Eight

HUMAN EMBRYOLOGY PRENATAL DEVELOPMENT OF FORM AND FUNCTION

Congratulations on your pregnancy! What an exciting, special time of waiting for that new little one to arrive. I’m sure you are doing all you can to have a healthy, full-term baby by seeing your doctor regularly, getting plenty of fresh air and exercise, and taking your pre-natal vitamins. Doctors and scientists alike are now advising that you should add a supplement of fish oil during pregnancy along with your pre-natal vitamins.

Prenatal vitamins do not contain the omega 3 fatty acid DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) which is so vital for your baby’s brain development, retina formation, and nourishment of the nervous system to name a few. Fish oil contains the omega 3 fatty acid DHA along with other essential fatty acids that aid in good health. The placenta utilizes DHA during fetal development, with DHA making up 50% of the retinal structure and 30% of the brain.

John’s mother was diagnosed with depression before John was born and she is still suffering from depression. How would it affect John’s
1) prenatal development;
2) emotional development in early childhood;
3) ability to establish peer relationship in early childhood?

Normal fetal development depends on many things. But, Mom’s nutritional intake is of utmost importance. Prenatal vitamins are always recommended, particularly those that are rich in folate, vitamin C and other important nutrients. In recent years, doctors have begun recommending omega-3 supplements, too.

Omega-3s are long-chained polyunsaturated fatty acids found primarily in fish and fish oils. Pregnant women are cautioned to consume no more than two servings of fish per week, because of the risk of mercury contamination. Mercury intake during pregnancy leads to numerous birth defects and can cause miscarriage.

Many studies now show how important omega-3 DHA prenatal nutrition is, and how crucial it is for the development of the unborn baby. Whilst many women are taking these in supplement form, it is vital to select carefully to enjoy the full benefits and not be at risk from contaminants.

With studies showing that over 85% of pregnant and nursing mothers are deficient in DHA omega-3 and that around 70% of a new born baby’s nervous system and brain are made up of it, it is clear just how important prenatal DHA is.
