Infancy and Early Childhood Development University of Phoenix 12/18/12 INTRODUCTION It is amazing that our earliest memory is still years after we first begin to develop. No one remembers being a one celled zygote or any aspect of the prenatal stage. And the first years‚ from birth to two‚ are for the most part a mystery as well.

Tradition has recommended that it is best quickly and harshly to punish a child when he or she misbehaves. The punishment may take the form of spankings or time-outs. However‚ such punishments do not help the parent‚ child or adolescent learn about the causes of the misbehavior. If one or more of those needs has not been met‚ the child will act out in some way.
