Answer to Question 1

Answers will vary and should include stimulation of all of the five senses and
experiences to develop both fine and gross motor skills. Creativity should be
demonstrated due to the potential lack of supplies and toys.

Answer to Question 2

The answer should explain that when the pregnant mother is stressed, the
overproduction of cortisol and other stress hormones in the mother can cross the
placenta and affect the developing fetus. Studies have shown that fetal heart rates
tend to be chronically elevated when the mother is chronically stressed. Research
indicates that exposure to high levels of stress hormones during gestation can affect
the behavior of the child even through adulthood. These children tend to be
hypervigilant, overemotional, or indifferent. They generally demonstrate poor coping
responses to stressors.
