The random characteristics you are assigned this time are infant temperament (1 = difficult, 2 = easy, and 3 = slow-to-warm) and parenting style (1 = authoritative, 2 = authoritarian, and 3 = indulgent/permissive) for each parent. If the parents were "single" in journal #1, only use 2 of the 3 digits you have been assigned.
What is your infant's temperament? How do infants with this temperament usually present/interact with others? What are some developmental strengths and weaknesses of this temperament? How might it shape their later development? This information should come from the textbook and include in-text citations.
What is the parent(s) parenting style? What does this typically look like when someone is parenting? How might it impact their child's development? What are some strengths and weaknesses of this parenting style? This information should come from the textbook and include in-text citations.
Based on infant temperament and parenting style and using your textbook, discuss whether your child has "goodness of fit" with their home environment. What is goodness of fit? What indicates goodness of fit? How do the parenting style and temperament likely interact to effect goodness of fit? Also discuss other issues that may contribute to goodness of fit- such as co-parenting, daycare, sibling relationships, health/smoking, influence of poverty, and working hours.
