As assessed by the Brazelton scale, Sandra displayed normal reflexes at birth but was extremely irritable and cried at the slightest sound.Her parents' attempts to soothe her typically had little effect, except to make her cry louder, which her parents found very frustrating.Even holding and cuddling Sandra helped very little.And when she was not crying, Sandra often seemed only apathetic to their attempts to interact with her.(a) From the text discussion, in what ways might Brazelton training help? (b) If Sandra's parents do not receive special training or otherwise figure out ways to interact with her more effectively, might Sandra be at risk for "failure to thrive" syndrome? Why or why not? (c) Similarly, given no significant improvement in parent-child interactions, would Sandra be at risk for deprivation dwarfism? Why or why not?
