This is referred to as consumer style, which includes different patterns of behavior related to making financial decisions and acting on them. There are 7 factors that influence consumer style. Please choose two from the list below that you believe are the most important factors and address them in your discussion:
Economics
History
Culture
Personality
Biology or environment
Technology
Politics
State the two factors you selected. Why do you believe the two factors you selected are most influential to consumer style? Include examples that support your selections. Please provide at least 2 resources for your discussion.

Create a simulated case study, relevant to your area of specialization, of an infant or toddler (birth to 24 months of age) who presents developmental challenges related to factors described by Bowlby’s attachment theory. Review the following Case Study Example [DOCX] to better understand the requirements.
Your case study should be 1–2 pages in length and it should describe:
The infant or toddler and their strengths and challenges.
The medical, family, and social context.
The developmental challenges that were evident in the behavior of the infant or toddler.
Evidence in the case that supports a specific attachment style.
Contextual factors that could affect the infant’s or toddler’s development in the area you selected for consideration.
Individual and cultural factors that theory and/or research indicate could impact the infant’s or toddler’s development.
Any other factors you deem appropriate based on your understanding of the theory and related research.
To develop this case, you should:
Explore theory and research based on Bowlby’s attachment theory and related to the area of development you selected as the focus of the case.
Identify attachment styles in general and analyze a specific attachment style for the case you are developing.
Locate and read current research on prenatal and infant development to describe potential outcomes linked to development in infancy or toddlerhood, including important considerations in the case you are developing.
Follow APA guidelines for style and formatting, as well as for citing your resources. Include a reference list of the scholarly resources you consulted.
Research
Complete the following:
Research evidence-based interventions that have been effective in meeting the challenges of the infant or toddler you described in your case study, from the perspective of your own professional specialization (as far as possible).
Explain how the deficits in developmental domains or environmental contexts impacted functioning.
State the recommended interventions that align with your specialization.
Include evidence for those outcomes from the professional literature.
Explore briefly the literature on adult attachment issues, considering that early influences can impact development across the lifespan.
Explain, from the perspective of your specialization, how the attachment style of the infant or toddler could be manifested as an adult.
Explain how this might help in understanding and determining an approach to working with an adult with attachment-related issues.

Body of the report.
The presenting challenges and primary issues.
An analysis of how lifespan development theory and research may account for the presenting challenges.
An assessment of the potential impact of individual and cultural differences on development for the current age and context described in the case study.

Review the section in Chapter 4 on Newborns and Parents. Describe at least two transitions that parents face with a newborn from the text (Martorell, 2023). What are some practical ways a newborn’s mother and father can work together during these transitional challenges? How can newborn bonding be encouraged in the home? What does Scripture teach us about children?

Part 1: Create the Case: Early Childhood
Create a simulated case study, relevant to your area of specialization, of a preschool child, 2–5 years of age, who presents developmental challenges related to factors described by Piaget’s or Vygotsky’s developmental milestones and Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory.
Your case study should be 1–2 pages in length and it should describe:
The child’s strengths and challenges.
The medical, family, and social context.
The developmental challenges that were evident in the behavior of the child.
Individual and cultural factors that theory and/or research indicate could impact the child’s development.
Any other factors you deem appropriate based on your understanding of the theory and related research.
To develop this case, you should:
Explore theory and research related to early childhood development in the cognitive domain.
Use either Piaget or Vygotsky to describe those age- or stage-related milestones expected at the age of your selected child.
Develop your case by creating a challenge for the child in the cognitive domain in early childhood. Describe what the child struggles with not meeting the expected theoretical milestones in the cognitive domain.
Explore, through theory and research, Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory of the various systems that can influence development. Describe the typical influences in those systems that would likely be most evident for a child in the preschool years.
Develop your case study further by creating an environmental context for the child in specific systems in Bronfenbrenner’s theory. Include any specific issues that you want to explore through research, such as influences of a specific culture or ethnicity, specific socioeconomic status, family structure, attachment issues, and neighborhood context.
Maintain a resource list of the materials you consulted to build your case.
Follow APA guidelines for style and formatting, as well as for citing your resources. Include a reference list of the scholarly resources you use.

Explain how the environmental contexts impact development and functioning.
State the recommended interventions that align with your specialization.
Include evidence for those outcomes from the professional literature.
Explore briefly the literature on cognitive development over time, considering that early influences can impact development across the lifespan.
Explain, from the perspective of your specialization, how the early cognitive challenges could be manifested across the lifespan.
Explain how (or whether) this might help in understanding and determining an approach to working with an individual who had early cognitive challenges.

Ultimately – I just need the attached graded rubric items listed, added to the sections they pertain to. This should mostly be just researching how each of these steps takes place in data collection, etc and using DOI (reputable sources). I have created seperate Word doc. with only the sections needing the work (data collection and analysis and ethical considerations). If you need further information to better discuss the study, please ask. 
Also, if you can please use highlighted texts in areas you add new content or correct so I can keep track – and add references to list please.
