Analysis Of Childhood Observation

During the primary recess we observed the children behavior, how boys and girls act having a different behavior. The first group we observed were around six and nine years old while the second group were approximately nine years old. This “experiment” objective was to observe people in their environment.

I got an appointment for observation on July 13 at De-Anza Child Development Center. I chose room No. 26 for observation. I observed one child from 3:26 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. There are total 10 children present in room no.26 at the time of my observation. Out of 10 there are 4 girls and 6 boys. They range from 3 to 5 years of age. There are three adults in the room, all are female. One adult for every 3 children- 1:3. When I entered kids are doing free play. I settled myself and started to observe a kid named Aaron. He is around 3 and half years of age.

Within my ten hours of observation, I witnessed an Early Childhood, Childhood, and Middle Childhood classroom. Through the duration of these hours, I visited School 17 and School 30. My seven hours at School 17 consisted of experiences within an Early Childhood and a Childhood setting. The Early Childhood hours occurred in a Pre-Kindergarten classroom setting with Ms. Mitrakos. The Childhood observations occurred in a first-grade classroom with Ms. Hordan. My three hours at School 30 involved experiences within a Middle Childhood setting. These observation hours occurred in a 6th-grade math class. My observations within both schools inspired me to continue my passion for Early Childhood Education.

For this child observation, I decided to observe my younger brother Jacob. Jacob is 5 years old, but he insisted that I write that he is almost 6. He is also in kindergarten this year and loving every second of being a loud, rowdy boy. I suppose I am at an advantage in this observation since I have seen the numerous developments in Jacob’s life thus far.

For each shelf, center, table, chair and anything that can hold a label, I would like to have it label with a little clip art picture on it. For the chairs around the eating tables, which are rectangular, I would like to have the children's name printed on them. That way the children know what is there chair and they see their name each time they want to sit on it. I believe that it is very important for children to associate the letters in the word with the actual object. Such as associating the letters S.I.N.K with the actual sink.

Subject “Chris” is a 7 year old middle class Caucasian male. Observation is taking place in the child’s home over the course of two separate afternoons. Chris is a friendly and well spoken child who is small for his age. Chris is the youngest child in his family and both observations take place while his siblings are home. In each case one or both parents are absent.

On 5/17/18 at 06:41 hours, I was dispatched to 434 Second Ave, for a report of a suicidal male. Dispatch advised the male was not no location and was making threats to his wife through text messages, threatening to inject rate poison into his body. Due to the nature of the incident I responded priority two.

Behavior Observed: Upon entering the house Abby politely took my jacket and hung it up on a chair. She then ran up the stairs and asked me to come see her dollhouse. She identified every little thing in her dollhouse as she was showing it to me. She showed me the “windows”, “stove”, “soap”, “mantel”,

Aliza has maintained progress on the goals she had previously met. She continues to make friends at school and have meaningful conversations with them about their similar interests. Additionally, at school, she has been integrated with a general education science class and states that she has initiated conversations with her peers in that class.

Based on the last phase of the assessment, Chance was exhausted and tired. The assessment appeared to be rush due to the deadline based on the transition of the children’s services to Trading Space. I honestly feel that this report should have been completed a few months for comparison when Chance started services with Chance and compare it to where he is now. I am disappointed with the errors made:

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.

I enjoyed reading your post and looking at your observation chart. What age is the boy that you are observing? The only reason that I am asking is because he sounds like the boy that I am observing. Although mine does not scream, but he hits, kicks, throws things, and raises his voice. The first time I was in there I was shocked. I am around young children all of the time, but I am not used to this type of behavior.

As a practitioner we are always carrying out observations on the children in our care, this will help us to recognise when children are ill or going through a tough time at home. Observations are also important because children do not always verbally communicate their feelings, being able to recognise children’s emotions based off only their body language and their interactions helps us to understand the child better and be able to provide a better service. Observations during play can help the practitioner discover the child’s interests and then they will be able to use these interests to engage the child. For example a child who has a fascination with trains may respond positively to an activity centred on trains. One downside to this technique

At the snack table “L” was sitting and eating cereal. And “A” was playing with the stuffed animal. “L” got up from the chair and grabbed the toy from “A” and threw the toy across the classroom. “A” started to cry. The teacher saw what happened and went over to them. And she said to ”L” is throwing a good thing. And she made “L” go pick the toy up and bring it to “A”.
