Erikson- basic trust vs mistrust
o Infant realizes that survival, comfort will be met
Piaget- sensorimotor
o Learns about cause/effect as a result of reflexive motor patterns that are repeated for enjoyment
Exploratory play
o Explores objects and people
o Engages in play
o Develops body scheme
o SI motor skills develop

Prone
o Shifts weight on forearms; bears weight and shifts weight on extended arms; equilibrium reactions are present; airplane posturing
Supine
o Increased head control (lifts head up indep); demos head lad when pulled up from sit position; has hands together in space and predominantly open; reaches for toys unilaterally and sometimes bilaterally; brings foot to mouth

Rolling
o Rolls from prone to supine; at 6 months, rolls segmentally with initiation from head
Erikson – basic trust vs mistrust
Piaget – sensorimotor
o Voluntary movement patterns emerge
o Coordination of vision and both hands
o Further awareness of cause and effect
Exploratory play
o Explores objects and people
o Engages in play
o Develops body scheme
● Plays with caregiver during meals and engages in interactive routines
5-7 months : takes cereal or poured baby food from spoon
o Has good head stability and emerging sitting abilities; reaches and grasps toys; explores and tolerates various textures
