In the following scenario, consider the early and later experience of Ginny's childhood. How might a later-experience advocate evaluate Ginny's influences and expectations of development?Scenario: Ginny was born to two warm, loving parents who were killed in an auto accident when Ginny was three. At that time she was placed in the care of an aunt, who was inconvenienced by her presence there. Her aunt left her at a local day care for most of the day. When Ginny entered school she was a quiet, withdrawn child with poor motor skills, further hindered by an inability to read in the early grades.
What will be an ideal response?
Students' answers may vary. Early-experience advocates would primarily consider Ginny's early, loving home life, but later-experience advocates would place just as much emphasis on her experiences with her aunt and in day care after the age of 3. They view children as malleable throughout development, and would argue that if Ginny does not get better parenting and attention soon, her experiences after three might negatively affect her development for some time to come.
