Neonate

A neonate is like a a child #|starting school for the first time. At first you need to guide them and help them with homework and assignments, they are quiet and shy to the people around them, and then after a month or so, they feel comfortable with their surroundings and are learning new things on their own.

Mnemonics:
Newborn sensitive small new baby

In the News:
media type="youtube" key="k2YdkQ1G5QI" height="315" width="420" This video shows a neonate imitating the father. A neonate imitates to learn how to later explore on their own. By watching others', a neonate learns how to use motor skills and discovers how to use parts of their bodies. The best way for a neonate to grow and develop is to watch others. media type="youtube" key="6Vv8yvNHXJE" height="315" width="420" This video shows the challenges that come along with the neonatal stage.

This video should have not been added onto is page, only because it is just a mother talking about the stages and problems she has to go through with a newborn. Yes, she does explain the difficulties of raising a newborn, but having the newborn present in the video would have given us a better understanding of what the mother is talking about. A video actually showing the stages and processes of a child development would have been better for this page. Actually showing the process of a newborn and the hardships of taking care of one would have been a better example to put on here.
