Help With Report On Infants
Posted: 03-03-07 18:28pm

Hello ladies I have quick question if
anyone might be able to help with I would
greatly appreciate it. I am doing a report
for school "Milestones for children" and I
am trying to find the reasonings of why an
infant puts just about everything in their
mouth. I want to say that they are
"learning" something through their mouth
and I can't seem to find an answer on the
web except choking hazards of course.
Is'nt though a learning tool for infants?
If anyone has answers I would appreciate
it.

It's really funny you should ask this.
Amelia is starting to crawl and starting
to put everything in her mouth. Its
crazy. she is 7 months old right now and
she still doesn't quite have her
hand/mouth cordination but its getting
here. she picks up everything.
I can't answer your question though. i
don't know if it's a learning thing but i
know it's a problem. because it keeps me
on my toes all the time.

If you don't find anything I will hunt
down my child psych book and look up the
stages and let you know what it says.
Good luck, I was going to say that I miss
writing papers, but I don't now that I
think about it.

Hey! Ive just studied early childhood and
it covers stuff like this. Infants put
things in their mouths to differenciate
between things through textures e.g A
baby would start to know the feel and
texture of a bottle when they put it in
their mouths so anytime something has the
texture of a bottle they will
automatically start sucking it...... hope
this makes sense!

There are so many different theories,
which you probably know because you are
studying this stuff.
Milestones for Children is such a huge
topic.
I personally like Piaget's six stages of
sensorimotor development for cognitive
development from birth to 24 months.
It depends on what your report is
focusing on because a combination of
theories could be what your
teacher/professor is looking for. Piaget's
cognitive stages of development and
Erikson's psychosocial stages are a good
combination if you are spanning through a
child' s life.
With both theorists, you would be touching
on the cognitive and emotional development
of a child's lifespan through adolescence.
Auzzie really did a great job at answering
your question in a condensed yet precise,
simple way!!! My papers were always too
dang wordy. I think it drove my professors
crazy.

hahaha im sure you didnt drive your
professors crazy!! Im more of a Vygotsky
Theory fan even though they are very
similiar except the fact that Vygotsky
believes in scaffolding the childs
learning e.g a person helpss the infact
get to the next stage where as piaget
believes that they should get there with
no help.

hahaha dont ask me any other questions, i
prob wouldnt know. We did alot of work on
theorists and we had to pick and choose
the theories that we liked and make a
philosophy of our own.
Did you learn about emergent curriculum,
Developmentally Appropriate Practices
(Dap) etc??

lol in my class we never had to get up in
front of anyone and do anything..... At
times we had role plays but only the ones
that wanted to do it had to. Its mainly
assignments and a teacher standing out the
front and giving you all the information.
Im sure you would be great at it!!

The theorist part does correlate to
psychology but the rest of the course is
alot different to psychology.
Pretty much you have to know why children
do things before you can care for them.
