What have they enjoyed most about having the baby

Reference no: EM133603242

Interview a parent or guardian of a child under the age of 12 months. In order to conduct the interview you will need to have the participant complete a permission form to be recorded. (Please use the one already uploaded for the course). Most people have no trouble talking about their baby! Below are the topics you should try to cover in that time. While you can just ask these questions, we will share ideas on the discussion board for other ways to get them talking and types of prompts you might have.

1) How did they prepare for the arrival of the child into their family?

2) Did they experience any unusual stress or trauma with the child's birth and early days?

3) How would they describe the child in terms of temperament, interests, and overall development?

4) How did the whole family do with the arrival of the child (especially older siblings)?

5) If they have other children, how was this baby different/similar to their other children?

6) What have they enjoyed most about having the baby? Get them to say something that they think is particularly unique or special about the child?

7) What is something particularly challenging about the child (or just having a baby in general) and how do they cope with that challenge?

8) What is one of their biggest concerns about the child (or just caring for a baby right now)?

9) How are they doing? How do they keep up and cope and get to engage in self-care?

10) What are their dreams for the child and his/her future?

Reflection

. DO NOT SIMPLY SUMMARIZE THE QUESTIONS ABOVE. Instead I want you to reflect on all of the information you gained to write a description of the family which includes these topics below:

1) Brief overview of the family the child is growing up in based on how the parent described them (size, where they live, any significant details about the child's growth and development, what the family enjoys doing together)

2) Describe any major events that the parent mentioned as having significant impact in the child's life so far. How did those events impact the family?

3) Describe strengths that this family brings to raising the child.

4) Describe challenges this family is facing right now.

5) Describe resources the family already uses. Then suggest at least 2 other resources that may be of help to the family (We will discuss ideas as a group)

6) Create an activity that you could recommend they do with their child at home with existing resources (we don't want them to have to buy anything). Tell me WHY you are choosing this activity based on the conversation. Then provide how you would introduce the activity to the parent. Make sure you explain the benefits of trying the activity with the child and provide specific ideas for how they can keep the child engaged during the activity.
