Johnny Deep TECA 1354 Dr. Osso Negro 04 April 2010 Child Observation Project I will be observing a seven-year-old child for my project. What I have learned from being a parent and watching my kids as they grow up the social emotional, physical and intellectual changes that occur in children between birth and the end of adolescence are that they all progress at individual intervals from dependency to increasing individualism. Because these developmental changes may be strongly influenced by genetic factors and events during prenatal life, genetics and prenatal development are usually included as part of the built in parenting skills we all possess. When children are born they have no sense of fear but quickly develop a fear of what …show more content…
Later on I observed him at home and how he interacted with his mother, he used his “big boy words” as his mother called it. When he wanted something he just asked politely and in a manner suitable to his age. Intellectually I would say that Aaron is right on track. He is able to complete his required assignment with little direction. I have noticed that he does have very high standards for himself and can become frustrated when he does not accomplish the assignment perfectly. I have also noticed that he starts one project then moves on to another and then goes back and completes the primary and secondary project. Aaron demonstrates intellectual development on target for his age such as wanting his papers to be perfect. According to Maternal and Child health Nursing this is considered an eraser year because children this age want everything to be perfect. (Pillitteri, 915) Also Aaron demonstrates intellectual development for his age such as working a problem out in his head without having to write it down. (Potter, 148) I observed Aaron at school and at home for his social and emotional development. Socially Aaron is able to interact with the children appropriately to his age. I noticed that he does have friends and is not isolated at recess. He plays with children his own age and is included in the activities on the playground. Aaron has no problems expressing his feeling toward the
Justin is a 14-year-old left-handed male who lives with his mother, Charlene, and his Father, Joseph. Justin attends North School in the rural area of Morrow County, Ohio. Justin was refereed to this agency by his school due to his behaviors in the classroom. When Justin was asked why he thought he was at the agency he said “My teachers do not like me and yell at me a lot.” Charlene notes that Justin is a good kid and that he is very intelligent. She went on to say that he just seems to go and go like he is the energizer bunny. Joseph notes that his son does not pay any attention when spoken to and needs to just get himself together and work harder. Per Joseph, “When he does his homework he cant stop moving. Whether it is his hands, legs, feet or arms he just keeps going.” Joseph notes that reading is Justin’s least favorite and most difficult subject. When asked what his best subject was Charlene noted that he excels at math.
III. Assessment Notes: During my second observation, Ethan exhibited self esteem (Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs) when he was praised for being the best clean up helper and then receiving his sticker first. By gaining this achievement it was shown in his actions that he received a confidence boost. Ethan also showed belongingness, as he helped the teacher aide during clean up. With helping her, laughing with her, and socializing with her, proves he is willing to share himself with her. I also observed how Ethan’s microsystem (Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological System Theory) which shows that his temperament is very introverted. The most that Ethan would have with his interactions were with adults (social emotional development). Along with social emotional

Prior to attending school in Eudora, Aaron received services from the Wellsville School District. Aaron was initially evaluated for Part C in 2005- 2006 as a two year old. Due to the severity of Aaron’s speech delay, Aaron qualified for speech services. In 2006-2007 concerns continued to exist about Aaron’s academics and social skills. His IEP team recommended placement in PALS (preschool) class. The following year (2007-2008), as a four year old, Aaron’s services continued in the ECSE preschool program. At that time Occupational Therapy Services were added to work on motor skills.

I set up an interview with his parents to discuss his progress and find out some information about David. A translator will be needed due to his parents not speaking English. I’ve asked the parents how David’s behavior is at home and how his attitude is towards his school work. I also asked his parents how he reacts when asked about his classmates and school in general. Is he excited to go to school? Does he like learning? Does he have any friends he talks to? After this, I discussed how David is in class including his behavior. He tries to participate sometimes in school and just sits quietly at times. I have noticed him trying to work harder and understand certain material. He will try to reply when spoken to in his best ability. When he is in a group whether it’s playing or working on a project he will attempt to converse with the others.
.My son’s pathway seems to be fairly good for children his age. This is so because for one though he is in constant argument with me about his chores and grades, he always completes his house chores and does his best to work on his grades in school. In terms of cognitive behavior, my son is on the right pathway. This is because he has a great sense of judgment of character. He is able to tell what is good and bad almost instantly. His social development is also in the right path which is demonstrated by his interest in political and religious talk. The fact that he gets easily agitated by quarrels with his peers from since middle school to high school, I could have easily predicted his emotional growth. He tends to be anti-social since he is

To successfully take the picture, I had to remain the pose for 25 seconds after he press the bottom, in between that time, there should be no lighting or any sorts

In my interview interaction with Amanda she seem to be calm with her surroundings and family, giving the answer to the questions asked in the best way she understood and her younger sister Janet was so nervous which indicate that they are more things going on that is preventing her from speaking up. Although, she indicated that her sister Amanda always get into trouble, as the older child she experience most of the physical discipline often and this can be overwhelming for a child at this age.
Archie is a 10 year old in the fifth grade class here at Friends' School. He’s attended this school from preschool until now, a total of seven years. He lives in the neighborhood and tends to be one of the first kids in the classroom every morning. In general he seems to be a happy child, smiling often. He has a tendency to be quite goofy at times and struggles with impulse control, often speaking out in class or being disruptive by talking or making jokes. This seems to stem from his ADHD, which he is on medication for. Though he has many challenges related to his ADHD, he displays an aptitude for math, enjoys reading, loves computers and is full of random facts that he adores to contribute.
