Read the following scenario. Then answer the question based on this scenario.
Harper is a two-year-old girl in an Early Head Start classroom. She was born six weeks premature, and both she and her mother tested positive for cocaine at birth. Harper was diagnosed with developmental delay and was placed in a foster home during the period in which the mother successfully completed a drug treatment program. Harper thrived in her responsive and caring foster care home, where she had nurturing care with many opportunities for sensory experiences. She also received developmental therapy services through the state early intervention program. At 18 months, Harper was reunited with her mother and has attended Early Head Start for six months. Assessment at the Early Head Start indicates that Harper is meeting all of her developmental milestones. Harper can run and jump, has a vocabulary of 100 or more words, can help pull up her diaper, and is beginning toilet training.

You learned about nature versus nurture. This foster home is an example of which?

A. Equal portions of nurture and nature
B. Nurture
C. Nature
D. Lessening the effects of teratogens

Respuesta :

The correct option here is the second one, nurture. Remember that in nature vs nurture we encounter two options of growth development. For one side we have nature that has to be with the natural skills given at birth to the baby and we have nurture that are all the aids given by the environment in order to develop fully or at a great state. Harper had no innate skills in order to develop her growth. So the Foster home nurture her in order to continue with her life with no apparent problem and the chance to live a normal life.
