Traditionally, women entered their husbands family household upon marriage, and the couples children then grew up around the paternal grandparents and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Toddlers whose mothers were relatively high in sensitivity were usually securely attached, even if the quality of nonmaternal care was below average and the number of hours in care was more than 10 per week; in contrast, toddlers whose mothers were relatively low in sensitivity were often insecurely attached even if they received high-quality nonmaternal child care. The rst laughs occur about a month after the rst smiles (Nwokah et al., 1999). In one American study, one group of 2-year-olds was shown the TV show Barney and Friends, featuring a large, purple, talking dinosaur who encourages behavior such as kindness and sharing. However, if one wishes to dene intelligence more broadly, as the entire range of human mental abilities, the traditional approach may be seen as too narrow, and an approach such as Gardners or Sternbergs may be preferred. And they develop an awareness of their cultures values and moral Maricela helps her mother make the days tortillas. All cultures distinguish different roles and expectations for males and females, although the strictness of those roles and expectations varies widely. Groups of a few families migrated accordNEW motor activity. Infants may protest at rst the change from the familiar breast to the unfamiliar bottle, especially if the nipple of the bottle requires a substantial accommodation in sucking technique. Even before toddlerhood, in all cultures people communicate gender expectations to boys and girls by dressing them differently, talking to them differently, and playing with them differently (Hateld & Rapson, 2006). . Toddlers a. who do not walk by 1 year are likely to have a gross motor problem. scored higher on tests of reading through self-initiated discovery. Hearing often improves because the tube in the Section 1 Physical Development 287 inner ear that is the site of ear infections in toddlerhood and early childhood has now matured and is longer and narrower than it was before (Bluestone, 2007).

This is very different from Piagets theory described earlier, which emphasizes the childs interactions with the physical environment and views cognitive development as essentially the same across cultures. Becoming capable of guilt, shame, and embarrassment motivates toddlers to avoid these unpleasant emotional states. Many studies over the past several decades have shown that children ages 27 are cognitively capable of more than Piaget recognized.

If we combine what scholars have learned from observing infants in a variety of different cultures today, along with what other scholars have learned from studying human evolutionary history and the history of human societies, a common picture of the social world of the infant emerges (DeLoache & Gottlieb, 2000; Leakey, 1994; Levine, 1977; Levine et al., 1994; Richman et al., 2010; Small, 2005), characterized by the following features: 1.
