PSY 205 Week Two Scenario Summary
For more course tutorials visit
www.newtonhelp.com
Week Two Scenario. Reflect on the factors in the scenario and how they
could potentially affect Alexandra’s physical, cognitive, and
socioemotional development. Summarize your findings here.
Incorporate relevant details from the text to support your ideas, and
include page numbers where these details are in the text. Include an
APA-formatted reference page to identify the source of your information
Leslie was 19 years old, working evening hours at a restaurant and living
with her boyfriend, when she learned she was pregnant. As the
pregnancy progressed, Leslie had difficulty managing the late hours at
work and eventually quit. Thereafter, she became increasingly isolated
and suffered from episodes of severe depression. She did not seek any
prenatal care. Money was extremely tight, and the mainstay of her diet
was inexpensive fast food. She occasionally drank alcohol to escape the
stress of her situation.
Alexandra was born 3 weeks premature, weighing only 5 lbs., 6 oz., but
otherwise, she appeared healthy. Leslie was nervous about caring for the
baby and quickly found the demands of childcare overwhelming.
Because she wanted her boyfriend to help with feeding, she chose not to
breastfeed the baby.
The stress of their situation took a toll on the couple’s relationship and
they argued constantly. Leslie’s depression worsened and she became
increasingly withdrawn. She had little energy for Alexandra, who was
often left in her crib for long periods during the day. Alexandra suffered
from frequent ear infections and colds. She was fussy and slept poorly.
Exhausted herself, Leslie often dozed with headphones on to drown out
the baby’s cries.
When Alexandra was 2 months old, Leslie realized she needed help and
moved back home with her parents. Her mother willingly helped care for
Alexandra and established a close bond with her. The family settled into
a stable routine that greatly reduced Leslie’s stress level and provided
Alexandra with consistent care and attention. At her parents’ urging,
Leslie sought treatment for her depression. As her mood improved, she
took a more active interest in her daughter. She began taking Alexandra
for regular check-ups to track her health and development.
At age 3, Alexandra was enrolled in a high-quality preschool program.
She quickly adapted to this routine and enjoyed participating in many
different activities. Although she often had problems paying attention
and following directions, she was generally happy, friendly, and
compliant. Leslie participated in parent-education activities at the school
on topics such as child-rearing styles, effective discipline, age-
appropriate play, and healthy nutrition.
Alexandra continued in the preschool program until she was 5 years old,
and made the transition to kindergarten. She lagged behind classmates in
acquiring early literacy skills, but did well in all other areas. She was
especially fond of make-believe and storytelling activities.
