Interview someone who has recently (ideally within the last five years) had a baby. Alternatively, you
could interview someone who works closely with babies, such as a daycare employee. Following is a
list of some questions, but feel free to add in some of your own!
What were the first few days after birth like? What kind of changes happened with you and the
baby?
What kind of reflexes did you notice in the first few days, weeks, and months?
Tell me about some of the biggest physical milestones in your baby’s first year of life.
How did your baby’s emotional development change throughout the first year?
How did you cope and adjust to those emotional changes?
What were some of your baby’s biggest intellectual gains in the first few months?
How did your baby’s intellectual development progress throughout the first year?
Make sure to keep notes of your interview (transcript), which you will submit as an attachment to
your assignment.
Now that you have your “data” in hand, you will write a 2-page paper that includes a summary of
your findings and a reflection, where you will connect your data to the course material. Try to paint
an accurate and vivid picture of what the infant’s first year was like. It’s a good idea to include direct
quotes from the interviewee as appropriate. Connect and relate your findings to material from the
unit readings. Be sure to cite your sources, both with in-text citations and a reference page at the
end of your paper (in APA format).
