What is implicit bias

 It is important to know of the different conversations that are happening in the early childhood field.
Also known as implicit social cognition, implicit bias refers to the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner.  These biases, which encompass both favorable and unfavorable assessments, are activated involuntarily and without an individual’s awareness or intentional control.  Residing deep in the subconscious, these biases are different from known biases that individuals may choose to conceal for the purposes of social and/or political correctness.  Rather, implicit biases are not accessible through introspection.
The implicit associations we harbor in our subconscious cause us to have feelings and attitudes about other people based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, age, and appearance.  These associations develop over the course of a lifetime beginning at a very early age through exposure to direct and indirect messages.  In addition to early life experiences, the media and news programming are often-cited origins of implicit associations.(source   http://kirwaninstitute.osu.edu/research/understanding-implicit-bias/)

Temperament -schiziod personality

There are different types of personality that people  develop and different temperament that babies are born with . Some babies  are hypersensitive and easily over stimulate . This kind of baby is born sensitive for example :she shrinks from too much light ,noise or motion  my have nerve ending close to the surface . Some new born  do like to be touched as if you are intruding on their space , while others liked to be cuddled. Maybe the babies that with draw may be prone to schiziod personality .

Though the cause of personality disorders isn't known, both genetics and environment are suspected to play a part in its development. Some mental health professionals speculate that a bleak childhood where warmth and emotion were absent contributes to the development of the disorder. A higher risk for schizoid personality disorder in families of schizophrenics suggests that there is genetic susceptibility to developing this disorder. 

Those with schizoid personality disorder do not have schizophrenia, but it is thought that many of the same risk factors in schizophrenia may cause schizoid personality disorder.

Gross motor skills - Are you ready for pre-kay

• The child should be able to kick a ball and not tumble down
• The child should be able to throw and catch a ball 
• The child should be able to run and keep up with her peers on the play ground
• The child should be able to feed her self

These skills should be given during the infant/toddler years when the brain is growing the most  . The research shows that a child's brain is 85%  developed by age three .The experiences that are given before 3 years old can make a big difference when the child gets to school.
