Question

Dale and Michele’s daughters were exposed to both English and French from the time they were infants. As a result they are all fluent in both languages and have found it quite easy to learn new languages. This is an example of initiating trajectories.a) trueb) false

Answer 1

Answer: A) True

Explanation: Parent developmental pathways can be categorised in to four name; initiating trajectories, supporting development along trajectories, mediating children’s understanding of experiences, and reacting to child-initiated trajectories.

Initiating trajectories is associated with parents often choosing the activities as well as the environment of their children, this also shows how well the children responds or reacts to the initiated pathway by their parents.

Dale and Michael choose to expose their daughters to English and French language at a tender age and their daughters responded (reacted) by becoming fluent in both languages and also finding it easy to learn new ones, this scenario is a good example of initiating trajectories.

Answer 2

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Initiating trajectories is concerned with the environment and the different learning pathways that a child may be exposed to. It involves intentional activities and exposures given to a child to get certain responses and learned behaviours from the child.

The above is an example of initiating trajectories where the children are exposed to learn two different languages and it therefore allows them learn even more languages
