A 12-month-old girl has a large extended family and is cared for by numerous relatives. According to her mother, the child does not spend much time on the floor because "somebody always seems to be carryingg her around." under these circumstances, this child is most likely to have problems with which of the folllowing aspects of her development?
a) cognitive
b) fine motor
c) gross motor
d) language
e) social
What's the answer and please explain.
I chose socical when I did it because i think of separation anxiety. But it's incorrect. Maybe gross. Can anyone tell me why it's not separation anxiety?
the question stem basically tells you that the child does not spend much time on the floor, "somebody always seems to be carryingg her around".
in this case your MOST concern should be the child ability to crawl, sit alone, and walk. All of this should occur btw the 7 to 15 month period. Since shes been carried around i would bet that she hasn't properly learned to do any of these things.
although separation anxiety could occur during that time period however based on the question stem i can also bet that the correlation between being carried and separation anxiety would be really small.
