    Yeah I haven't done anything. But I understood everything well enough in class. I don't know alot about day care though so if that comes up I'm *****.

    You know if I can't remember who did a study, would it be alright if I said "A psychologist found....", or would I be marked down?
    apparently if you dont know the name of the psychologist/cant remember it then just dont put a name - dont guess.

    Would it be less marks, though?

    im pretty sure that the examiners only POSITIVE MARK
    you only get marked for what you put, not marked down for what you dont put.
    but you might be potentially missing out on a mark.
    tbh i dont remember any names and i got a C on my mock so if i get a C on this im happy

    a mark a minute
    dont think about the ao1/ao2 try to write normally (in the 12 marker)
    dont skimp or run over the mark a minute thing - spread the time according to the marks the question is worth.

    Doubt most of us will know as we're doing a completely different spec.

    day care...baby john, but i cant remember the psychologist. baby johns mother went into hospital, father went to visit him regularily, he became desparate for attention after like 3 days, then became withdrawn, started to attach to big tiddy bear, but because its an innamite object it gave him no love back so he became even more detached. when his father came to visit he didnt respond. when mother returned, baby john screamed and fussed, rejected her, went to father. was very quiet.

    same psychologist had some kids stay in their home but i dont remember the details.
