raise their voice at the infant as the cries get louder
put the infant in the crib and let the infant cry it out.

Explanation:

Question 7

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Emotional development (like self - awareness, feelings) and social development (interactions with others) both impact how a child thinks (cognitive aspects tied to emotions/social cues) and interacts (with peers, adults).
• Option 2: Confidence is important for both social (interacting with others) and emotional (self - esteem) development, so saying it's more needed for social is wrong.
• Option 3: Affection is crucial for both emotional (feeling loved) and social (forming bonds) development, so the "more needed" claim is incorrect.
• Option 4: Both emotional (personality traits like temperament) and social (how one relates to others, which shapes personality) development contribute to personality, so the "more" claim is wrong.

To soothe an infant, we use calming techniques.

• Option 1: Carrying the infant (providing physical comfort) and singing softly (auditory comfort, familiar sound) is a known soothing method as infants respond to gentle movement and soft sounds.
• Option 2: Ignoring the infant can increase distress as infants need care and attention.
• Option 3: Raising voice is likely to startle or upset the infant more, as loud sounds are not calming.
• Option 4: Letting the infant cry it out is not a recommended soothing method, especially for young infants who need comfort and care.

Answer:

both emotional and social development influence a child's way of thinking and interacting.
