Social/Personality Development

1. I was most attached to my mom, just because she was more nurturing.

2. Imprinting is "A rapid learning process by which a newborn or very young animal establishes a behavior pattern of recognition and attraction to another animal of its own kind or to a substitute or an object identified as the parent." 
Yes it does because I was attached to my mom because she is very maternal and expresses the same nurturing and caring behavior as me. 

3. No.

4. Yes because like Harlow's "contact comfort" I didn't just attach to my mom to get food or water. I was attached to her because of her caring soul.

5.

6. In the temperament labels, I was most likely phlegmatic which means I was more relaxed and peaceful. Today, I am both phlegmatic and sanguine. This is because I am both social and seek happiness, but I am also peaceful and relaxed.

7. Erikson's 5th and 6th stages: Identity v. Role Confusion and Intimacy v. Isolation. These are the most difficult stages. Identity is because during a person's adolescent time is because people are trying to fit in with whatever crowd is 'cool' at the time. They don't care about being themselves or creating an identity for themselves. This develops over time until they become their own person and don't try to be anyone else. This takes longer for more people. Isolation can be a big problem in middle and high schools. Loners stand out and people tend to make fun of them, while intimacy can lead the people to have too big of egos.

Cognitive Development

1.

2. It makes the notion that people get to lazy to even complete things that are their idea, and that they get excited and then not excited fast. (Mind changing quickly)

Language Development

1. My first word was 'dada'
2. I spoke this word around 8 months old
3. It was probably my first word because I connected it when my parents talked to me I am guessing. It aligns more with the theory of Skinner.
4. No
5.---

Physical Development

1.  I was about 7.5 pounds and 51 inches.
2. (in the last post)
3.


6. I sat up right near the average which means I am good for that section. My first tooth came out at one year while the average is 4-7 months and I also lost my first tooth at about 2 or 3 where the average is closer to 4. This could mean bad dental, but I haven't had any bad dental records in the past. I was potty trained a little after average which means I was basically in the average range but could mean I didn't have good discipline. 

7. The word puberty means the time period where child start to mature. They start to turn into young adults and their hormones begin to change. 

8.

9. Two girls, one name Claire and one named Courtney were both in middle school. Claire bloomed early. She has big breasts and was more confident than Courtney. The boys flocked to Claire and she did things that many middle schoolers would not. Courtney did not bloom early. She was flat chested and wore baggy clothes, while hiding away from people; mainly boys. In the long run, Claire was too focused on boys during middle school that her grades went down where as Courtney excelled in grades and this continued on until high school. 

10. As humans get older they mature, but their bodies also slow down. I am excited about getting older, but I don't want to be very old. I am excited to start a life; have a family; buy a house; get married. 

General Fact Sheet

1. My mom's pregnancy, in her words, was "pretty easy"- A term most uncommon by most pregnant ladies. My mom did not gain much weight, and was still working out until about her eight-month with me, so she could stay fit. At her eight month however things did get harder as one would imagine. She started to waddle a bit like a duck. Cravings were sparse, although she did become very sensitive to certain smells, for example; greasy foods made her want to throw up. There were not any complications with me, from my mom's point of view, and probably the doctors as well (haha). Her water did not break, but something did happen that was 'out of the ordinary'. This prompted my mom to call the doctor and tell him about it- at the time he was at brunch with his family since it was Mother's Day. He said for my mom to get to hospital and he would come in, in a couple of hours, and told her the news that she would be having a baby on Mother's Day. Because of this, my mom received gifts from the hospital, such as a pretty cool camera and film just for having her baby on Mother's Day.

2. My mom says I got my name because "it sounded like a great name for a successful lady".

3. My parents did not consider any other names. For they knew I was going to be a girl, and knew the name Madison was right from the start.
