The short answer assessment portion of each module will incorporate all of the pieces you have worked with throughout the previous sections. You will be expected to use information from our course resources in order to answer the questions presented here. You are discouraged from simply Googling the prompts as you may be directed to information that is off-topic, without appropriate context, or out-of-date. Your first resources should be our course resources!
These questions will require more advanced thinking and consideration to earn full credit. Make sure to support your answers with detail, data and facts presented in the resources, along with ties to cultural and societal influences. You should also include theoretical perspectives as appropriate. You should NOT quote anything directly from any resources. Instead, you should paraphrase using your own words, and cite the source appropriately (APA citation preferred, but other citation methods will be accepted). When paraphrasing, think about how you would explain the concept or idea to a classmate or parent. Show me through your writing that you understand the ideas, not just that you can locate the concept in a reading.

Imagine you are leading a group session for parents of infants and toddlers. Those in the group have children anywhere from 0-3 years of age and come from a variety of backgrounds. Your job is to address common concerns in parenting and provide reasonable, evidence-informed suggestions based on the context of the family. Respond to the following scenarios:
A parent arrives clearly distressed. She has been breastfeeding exclusively but, after consulting a lactation consultant, has realized she needs to supplement with formula. She is feeling disappointed and like a failure. What do you tell her?
A father is complaining about how down his wife is feeling after having their new baby. He thinks she’s just overreacting and will be fine once she “gets over it”. What do you recommend and how would you support your recommendation with evidence?
