Question 1

Correct Answer:

Verified

The independence focus defines the self as separate from others. The focus in development is on personal fulfillment and achievement. Terms like self-esteem and self-expression are favored in this approach. In contrast, the interdependence focus emphasizes the self in the context of relationships; the self is not separate but connected to others. Obligation to others is more important than personal achievement. Terms like self-help and self-expression may be perceived as selfish. Parents working from the independence focus are more likely to encourage early self-help skills and sleeping alone. Parents working from the interdependence perspective are more likely to "do"
for their children and see helping their child as a time to connect. They would also place more early emphasis on sharing than independence-focused parents.

Following are three descriptions of interactions between an early childhood provider and children. Scenario One: When the three-year-olds do not come to circle time after he asks them, Mr. Alejandro picks them up and places them in their seats. Scenario Two: Ms. Nguyen is holding eight-month-old Betsy in her arms when another teacher comes up and says, "How is Betsy doing today?" Ms. Nguyen looks at Betsy and says, "It seems like you're feeling good today, aren't you Betsy?" Scenario Three: When meeting the new group of 4-year-old preschoolers, program director Dr. Cray says, "Oh, aren't you all so cute!" In which of the scenarios is the early childhood provider showing respect to the child/children?
