Question 2
Which one of the following is the most important recommendation for parents of low birth weight infants?
◦ Parents are less likely to touch and hold low birth weight infants, but their infants fare better when they do offer warmth and social stimulation.
◦ Since low birth weight infants will be somewhat delayed throughout development, special services should be sought in early and middle childhood to address potential learning and social challenges.
◦ Low birth weight infants are as alert and responsive as healthy infants, even though health problems are prevalent, so much warmth and social stimulation should still be provided.
◦ Low birth weight infants will likely be delayed in development. However, early intervention can determine the severity of the delay. Positive parent-child interactions can lead to near-normal competence.
