Please read the vignette and respond to the questions below.
Michelle is a young, single mother to a 10-month old James. She lives alone and has lost contact with her family or James’ father. She earns minimum wage at a supermarket and receives no benefits. Michelle had to go back to work 2 weeks after giving birth, leaving her baby with a neighbor who watches 8-10 infants and young children in her apartment for a small fee. Michelle states, “it was stressful and exhausting enough when I was pregnant and worked over 50hrs a week. Now I have to work even more to pay for childcare and don’t have any energy to care for my baby when I’m home, or have any time for myself.” Michelle adds, “I feel terrible but oftentimes I just let him cry and cry until he falls asleep.”
Paragraph 1 In what ways has Michelle’s situation likely affected James’ physical and cognitive development? Discuss things such as developmental milestones, nutrition/feeding, sleep, sensorimotor functioning, language development, etc.).
Paragraph 2 Consider his prenatal development, as related to maternal stress. What socio-economic factors or policies might have contributed to Michelle’s situation?
