Social Referencing (father and mother)

Social referencing seemed to be something interesting to me. That some child even at a young age is able to look to parents to see if they are doing the right thing or if something is okay to do you see it not only with humans but animals as well do the same thing. Referencing mothers do things such as suggest and make it almost rewarding for a child to do something, almost like conditioning however it is more passive to the sense of they do not directly say something to suggest it is what the mother wants from child/ infant. The United States of America very much so enforces the social referencing because they are looking for some dependence from child but looking for almost all the obedience as well.

Referencing fathers used to be thought of those who would spend relatively no time or be anything involved with the infants now really comes to how happy they are with the mother of the child. This being crucial because it is rare that you get time alone with an infant if the mother is remotely around.

Infants look to receive fun from the father time while the mother time is more cautious. The infants (from father time) show social intelligence because fathers play games and make them go through the motions of doing something that sooner or later they will be able to do such as walk. Book shows that fathers are more proximal parents however they are engaged with playing with infants entire body.
