1		Your next-door neighbor is planning to open a day care center that caters to infants and toddlers. She has had a lot of experience with toddlers, but less experience with infants, and so she has asked you to share what you have been learning in your life-span development class. She is familiar with Piaget, but has heard some criticisms of his ideas and asks you what you know about this. She also wants your suggestions on how to provide the best possible environment for the children. What would you tell her?



2		Your favorite aunt and uncle have come to you because they say they cannot understand their teenage daughter. One minute she’s loving and adoring, the next she’s a total monster. They try to comfort her when she’s upset, but she screams, “You can’t possibly understand how I feel”; if she is having a “bad hair day,” she refuses to go out in public, even to accompany them to religious services. How would you explain these behaviors to your aunt and uncle, and what would you suggest for helping them work with their daughter?
