Reference no: EM133211155

Caregiving. Who cared for you when you were born and in the first 3 years? Was your mother or father or someone else your primary caregiver? How did your parent(s) make these decisions? Were they happy with the care you received, and would they do it again the same way? How did your infant caregivers shape your childhood? If you have children in the future, would you like to do it the same way they did, or differently?

Attachment. To whom were you most securely attached by around 6-8 months of age, and how did that attachment develop? How would you characterize the quality of your attachment with that person given what you are learning about attachment and what specifically leads you to categorize it as such? If you were around both parents during infancy, how did the attachments differ? Did you have secondary attachments to anyone else during your first year or two?

Temperament. How would you and your family characterize your temperament in infancy? Be specific about what your caregiver(s) observed that leads to that categorization. How did people respond to your temperament? Was your early temperament stable? In other words, did your early temperament correlate with basic personality characteristics later in childhood and adolescence?

Parenting Style. Which parenting style did your parents or primary caregivers rely on? Give several specific examples that clearly illustrate their style(s). If you were exposed to different styles (e.g. if your parents were divorced), describe them. If their style changed at some point during your childhood (e.g. after a move, birth of a sibling, or remarriage), how did it change, and why?

Parental Relationship. What do you know about your parents' relationship with each other during your early childhood (whether they were together or not)? How do you think the situation positively and/or negatively impacted your development (relationship with parent/s and siblings, relationships with step-parent/s, self-esteem, sense of security, school, etc.)?

Beliefs, Customs, and Values. Describe how your cultural, ethnic, geographical, or religious background shaped the caregiving you received as an infant. What unique customs or traditions were involved during your infancy? Describe any cultural, religious, or holiday rituals/traditions that were especially meaningful in your early environment. Also include any sayings or stories that you heard repeatedly from your caregivers as they tried to pass on their knowledge, values, and customs. In what ways do you think it was different from what you consider to be the "average" American childhood?
