Question

For this paper, you will write a 4-5 page guide to new parents. Discuss the biological, cognitive, and social/emotional development occurring in the first few months of life. Explain the theoretical understandings and offer advice for new parents. Obviously you will not be expected to discuss everything that is going on in the infancy stage, so focus on what you deem to be important knowledge for new parents, specifically.

You should cite and summarize at least three peer-reviewed journal articles in your paper (above and beyond textbook and lecture material).

Page formatting and citations must adhere to APA style guidelines. Points will be taken off for errors. Points will also be taken off for repeated and/or glaring grammatical / spelling errors.

Introduction
The first few months of life are the most fun and memorable time in anyone’s life. It is the time, which once gone, will never come again. Therefore, it is said time is neither a friend nor a foe. As one grows up, he starts realizing the importance of childhood. That is the time when there is no work, no worries and no anxieties. The little munchkin is free from all of the real-world constraints and need not be a participant in the race of wealth. The child, without having any understanding, enjoys all the bounties of the world. Childhood is the story that stands by itself in every soul. Thus, it is the god best gift to any individual.
Theoretical Understandings of Cognitive, Biological and Social or Emotional Development in First Few Months of Life as Advice to New Parents
During the first few months of life, one undergoes biological, cognitive and emotional development. The biological development plays a crucial role in the development of a baby. They affect children throughout critical times, such as early childhood and prenatal period. These factors include hormone levels, genetic influences and the right amount of nutrition. For example, a child will not grow tall if the right amount of nutrition is not provided. It may have the genes, but because of the lack of nutrition, its height will not grow.
As mentioned in the paper by Casey et al. (2018), cognitive development is related to the development of skills, knowledge, which help little ones to think about and understand the environment around them. The postnatal factors and language development contribute to the most in it. They are curious about things out of reach and responds to conversations by making different sounds. They start responding to their name and try pointing out and copying other gestures.
The infant starts moving towards its phase of the toddler. It tries to speak, learn to crawl and walk. They begin speaking a few words and know to wave goodbye or blow a kiss.
