principles one of infant toddler growth and development - correct answer-1. 1. Involve infants
and toddlers in things that concern them. Don't work around them or distract them to get the

not to feel something that you do.
Principle seven of infant toddler growth and development - correct answer-7. Model the
behavior you want to teach. Don't preach.
Principle eight of infant toddler growth and development - correct answer-8. Recognize
problems as learning opportunities, and let infants and toddlers try to solve their own. Don't
rescue them, constantly make life easy for them, or try to protect them from all problems.
Principle nine of infant toddler growth and development - correct answer-9. Build security by
teaching trust. Don't teach distrust by being undependable or often inconsistent.
Principle ten of infant toddler growth and development - correct answer-10. Be concerned
about the quality of development in each stage. Don't rush infants and toddlers to reach
developmental milestones.
