A Great Child

I observed Harper, a 23 month old little girl that is full of energy. Also participating in the interaction with Harper was her mother and five year old sister, Mya. Harper is very friendly and outgoing. She is very interested “reading books” and loves to be read to. She enjoys helping her mother clean and do simple tasks. She seems to be very confident with and without her mother in her sight. Harper’s father is not actively involved in her life because he lives in another state.

Sandra also struggles with the fact that her favorite activities she likes to play with the children are quiet games, reading books, and sensory games, but Taylor doesn’t seem to enjoy any of the activities that Mrs. Sandra likes to bring out for the children in the morning and this is when Taylor’s unpredictable behavior starts. After observing Taylor’s behavior patterns for several weeks, I have noticed little change in Taylor’s behaviors. Mrs. Sandra is unsatisfied with Taylor’s unpredictable behavior. Taylor’s unpredictable behavior patterns as well as her constant need for physical activity and her irrational reactions morning activities are making it difficult for other children to cooperate and learn. Mrs. Sandra decided to meet with Taylor’s family. Mrs. Sandra has several decades of experience working with young children, and attributes Taylor’s lack of unpredictable behavior to her recent enrollment and need to get used to the classroom setting because Taylor’s behavior as gone too far Mrs. Sandra decided to have a conference meeting with Taylor’s parents and they both agreed. Mrs. Sandra has learned that when Taylor is at home they don’t have any difficulty with the issues that Mrs. Sandra has presented to

According to her mother, Ms. H was born at home. During the birth, her parents believe that Ms. H may have had a short period of anoxia or a lack of oxygen supply to her body.

Her parents reported that Ms. H had normal developmental milestones in language (e.g., speaking forming a sentence, and vocabulary development) and physical motor development (e.g., crawling, standing up, walking and running).

For my first observation, I have been observing my baby cousin Chloe. She is nine almost ten months old. One thing I have really noticed is she is going currently going through the Oral Stage in Freuds Psychosexual Theory. This stage is where the child is finds the mouth as a source of pleasure. When she is interested in an object she puts it in her mouth. Also, she is starting to teeth so when she chews on things it makes her feel a lot better and makes her a very happy baby. As she is getting older I see her Cognitive development progressing. Her perception is getting stronger, as when she hears or sees her mom she does not only see and hear her, but she realizes and remembers that she is her mother. She is learning how to

She is not single minded focuses more on others than herself. She is very keen to other's behaviors and is very good at picking up signs of annoyance or sadness. This reflects how she behaves around others as she knows what to do to make them comfortable with her. Wether it be talking louder or maybe speaking less, she is very aware of how she acts and how others respond to it. I think that might be why the kids like her so much is because she knows what to do to get them to laugh and have fun. It is also why she has such a "wide range" of friends: because she knows how to behave and act to different people so they are comfortable and

G.C. Development. G.C. is a five-year-old girl who is outgoing and loves to talk. She is in Erikson’s third stage of development Initiative versus Guilt (Ward & Hisley, 2016). G.C. is expressive and likes to dress up like a princess. G.C. is often upset by siblings not wanting to play with her or follow her ideas, but she displays knowing right from wrong. Although young, G.C. is eager to pick up her younger sister, O.C. and play with her. This often causes O.C. to become upset because G.C. has a difficult time being gentle with her even though her intentions are right. When in her element, G.C. loves to smiles, hug, and spend time with people.

According to Openlearn.edu, “Children grow up in specific physical, social, cultural, economic and historical circumstances (their socio-cultural context), all of which will influence their childhood” (2016) A child’s environment plays a very large role in their development process. What Gabby is being exposed to at home or maybe with a certain family member can influence a lot of her behavior. If Gabby is very aggressive the first context I would observe is her relationship with her caregiver. “Development of course involves a process of learning and improvement, and children can only learn when others are there to support them, like parents, teachers and siblings”(Openlearn.edu, 2016). I would observe the relationship and reactions that

She is shy, but tends to warm up quickly when treated kindly. Part of her missing those connections she never got while growing up. When slighted she tends to forgive,

You hear all of those terrifying rumors on tv shows, movies, and even books about how teenagers are just awful. You hear that teenagers are mean to their parents, they are super wild going to parties or to their significant other's house, and always coming home at ungodly hours of the night, and you even hear stories of kids running away. Teenage years are always the years parents fear and dread. But Mom, you never got to experience those fears. You don't understand how lucky you are to have a daughter like me. I am a really good kid. I do very well in school, I don't go out and party, I don't do drugs or drink, and I am actually a kind person, I am not like those bullies on the movie "Mean Girls". Don't you think I should receive some kind
