A mother from a low-income, African American family has not brought her infant son for weeks to an early intervention and nutrition program at a neighborhood community center. Which of the following is the most likely reason she and her son have NOT attended?
◦ Families of some historically underrepresented groups do not believe infancy is a period of critical development. It is possible that the mother has withdrawn from the program, because she does not believe it is important.
◦ Many African American families reject mainstream education and intervention because they believe these instill white, middle-class values and behaviors. It is possible that the mother has withdrawn from the program out of dislike for its approach.
◦ African American infants more often suffer from mild, common illnesses. It is possible that this infant has been sick and unable to attend.
◦ Families of some cultural groups are extremely mobile. It is possible that she and her son have moved away to another community.
