Utilizing two naturalistic settings I observed 2 year old JR. The two naturalistic settings included his home, and Chuck E. Cheese, which he frequents often with family, during both observations JR’s parents and sister were present. JR, was adopted approximately 10 months ago, his exact birth weight and height are unknown making it impossible to chart growth. Yet physicians advise that JR is well within the growth range for his age additionally stating that no indications of cognitive or physical disorders. JR has an easy temperament, as long as care givers are present. JR, is 24 months old, placing him in the category of infancy, or stage one of development. During my first observation which took place at Chuck E. Cheese, I witnessed JR.
The milestones achieved follow a pattern, however the rate differs as each child is unique. This information becomes important to early childhood educators to track and trace and intervene so that additional help and support can be provided benefitting the child. Lack of information regarding the rate and sequence of development will not enable us to provide intervention. Delayed intervention can lead to complication and irreversible defects.
The guide below explains what you might expect from the development of the child through various ages:
Biosocial development in early play years continues to play an important role in the growth of a child. Growth in is this context is described as a change in size while development is characterized by changes in complexity and function.
The Child Study data I have gathered comes from the observation I have completed at Mission Bell Elementary School. Mission Bell Elementary School is a local school in Riverside. In the P.M preschool class there are 24 students, one teacher, and one assistant. The child I decided to observe is names Zoe. Zoe is 4 years and 10 months old. I immediately was drawn to Zoe because she had such a big personality, was very social, and smart. I am glad that I choose to observe Zoe because she was able to make my observation process smooth and easy. While observing her I had to pay close attention to her biosocial development, motor skills, cognitive skills, communication skills,
On Friday I spent the morning with Jacob who is six years one month old at College America. The morning began with a physical assessment and an interview of Jacob, and the afternoon I was able to observe him at play. Jacob is in first grade and he is the oldest child in his family with a younger brother and a younger sister. After doing a physical assessment and an interview with Jacob he appears to be an overall healthy and happy child with no obvious physical or emotional problems. According to Erikson’s developmental stages Jacob is in stage three where Jacob should be developing purpose in his life.
After observing a nine month old child for this Child Observation paper, the author of this paper has taken copious notes during the session. The purpose of this paper is recognizing the biological, cognitive and psychosocial development of the child. The author of this paper identified the background history of the child, the observation made and the development process of the child.
This paper is going to describe the behavioral and cognitive traits that can be inferred from that behavior of a two year old child that I observed in the park as she was playing with her mother. The child that I observed is a girl, has blonde hair and is physically well-developed for her age. She is around two, weighs approximately twenty (20) pounds and is about two (2) feet tall.
Still prefers to be near a familiar adult. Shows affection to familiar people. Loves making noise b banging toys. 12 to 24 months Expected pattern of child development Physical Falls over frequently when trying to walk.
The parents reported that their child’s pre and post natal development was normal without illness or injury. However, as an infant/toddler, he had been difficult to soothe when upset and demanded constant attention which his parents found difficult to manage.
Observer visited a play place of a restaurant in New Jersey, Hackensack. Why I have chosen the place is easy to observe every part of child development such as cognitive, social emotional, language as well as physical at the same time. Observer performed the observation on April 28 from 1 pm to 3pm. The child was an Asian boy. He has strait short black hair with dark brown eyes and thin black eye brows. His height looked around 37 inches that he may be a little smaller than other early childhood children. He looks thin and has a full set of teeth inside his mouth, full cheeks, and a small button nose.
This study is intended to document my observation of a child between the ages of 2-5. The small child I observed is a 4 years old male. Family arrangements consist of the mother being the primary caregiver of her son. Since the child is not old enough to consent to my amateur study, I have received permission from the mother and father. The method used in this clinical report is a naturistic observation in which I went to the family’s household where I recorded his behavior for an hour.
In this assignment I am going to describe a child observation that I have done in a nursery for twenty minutes in a play setting. I will explain the strengths and weaknesses of naturalistic observation through the key developmental milestones based in Mary Sheridan (2005) check-list and provide a theoretical explanation to support the naturalistic observation.
Initially, Erikson’s stages described a child’s developmental growth during each period. Learning about Erikson and the limitations of each period made me realize that one has to treat separate children
Children develop in many ways including through physical activity, mental activity and interaction with others (Roode, 1). According to a January 2007 clinical
For this paper I have chosen to explore two specific age ranges and the developmental changes that
