Child Observation Paper

On this date and time this worker met with Elizabeth Rhodes at Holtville Elementary. She appeared to be clean, healthy, and adequately dressed.

Based on her reaction it appears she has developed deferred imitation. According to Piaget, deferred imitation is defined as ¨a sequence in which and infant first perceives something that someone else does and then performs the same action a few hours or even days later¨ (Piaget 166). According to table 6.1, stage six intellectual accomplishment, involving both thinking and memory appears at around 18-24 months. Based on this information, Isabella, at 20 months of age, would be within the age range for development and therefore within the norm for her age (Piaget 162).

The date of my observation was April 27th, 2010. It was about 9:30 in the morning when I began my study. I went to Grossmont College’s Child Development Center. The first thing I began looking for was if the child-teacher ratio was correct. The child ratio was 2 teachers to about every 8 children. The ratio was good. As I entered there was one large room that almost looked as if it could be two rooms they way it was set up. One half consisted of a large bookshelf with numerous books on it with a couch in the front of it. The other half of the room was almost like a little kitchen. It had a table with chairs around it with a sink and cabinets behind it. There were “age appropriate” toys as well as books all over the

Jeremy’s biological development has progressed exactly the way it should. I observed him interacting with his family. I was able to observe that he could process information and react to it in an acceptable manner. He was also walking, running, bending and performing many other tasks that a child his age should. He displayed good motor skills and development.

Per Reporter: Caitlin and the child lived with Lorraine for a while. Lorraine and Caitlin used to work together. While in the home with Lorraine, Caitlin was caught medicating the child with Benadryl or anything that cause drowsiness to make the child sleep at night. Caitlin would leave the child screaming at night. Caitlin screamed and cursed at the child due to her not wanting to deal with the her. Caitlin and the child moved in with Steven (Caitlin’s Ex) for a while. Steven stated that he was the primary caretaker for the child while at his home; Caitlin wouldn’t properly care for the child. Caitlin lost custody of her son (Caden) due to neglect as well. Caden is in the care of his father (Josh). On March 14, 2017, Caitlin left the child

I had the pleasure of seeing Luke a 10 year old male child in the office on Tuesday, March 14, 2017 with his mother Hannah for a well child care visit. He appeared appropriately dressed and well groomed. Luke has a history of Down syndrome, VSD and ASD and needs supplemental O2 when he has respiratory illness and at night when he sleep. Luke also has feeding difficulties and is on a g-tube. He was uncooperative and did not want to go into the exam room during his visit. We had to interview him and his mother in the corner of the waiting room as no other patient was around.

The sun is out. It is a gorgeous spring day in the desert. There are sounds of children laughing at the swing set, and dogs lapping at water nearby. The smell of the burgers on the grill makes my mouth water as I approach the park bench. I set down the neatly wrapped gift that will soon be torn apart by an eager child. I approach the group of friends laughing as I am greeted with a warm hug. For my observation, I attended a one-year-old birthday party on Saturday, April 23rd from 10 am to 1 pm at Luckie Park. I observed several people at different life stages that I will discuss. Infancy stage was represented through Liam at three months, and Johnny at one year. Lilian, seven years old, is in the childhood stage. I observed Erin as the young

I draw my attention into the children’s section as I walked into a department store. My first observation was that it was made easier for one to quickly differentiate between the boys and the girls section. I paid much attention to the boys section which was filled with tons of stuff which includes water, plastic, and rubber guns, industrial tools (hammer, screwdriver, and Plier), balls, and other types of technological tools. All the shelves that were in the children's department are set up with vivacious colors of toys. Children’s concentration was directed displays of toys within the store by the manufacturers, who is very sensitive in diverting the child’s mind through the assortments of toys. The children’s section was arranged in the sense that little babies will be

During the weekend I was watching television and while watching it I was also observing how my niece behaves around her boyfriend when I’m there. I also observed how they are when I’m not there. While I was watching TV I noticed that they didn’t know what to talk about because I was there. I believe that they were extremely awkward because they were just quietly looking at each other waiting for me to leave. Minutes later, I told them that I was going to go downstairs with my sister, but I was actually observing them while I was standing by the stairs where they couldn’t see me. While I was observing them I saw that they sat closer to each other and heard that they were starting to talk more. Later that day, my niece told me that it was weird

By the time one individual reaches adulthood one has reached a complete level of understanding about how the world works though different stages and experiences. A person accumulates all this useful knowledge through the process of cognitive development, starting ever since we are given birth and developing until the day we are six feet underground. Though the stages of cognitive development, children develop the sensorimotor stage (birth-2 years, the preoperational stage (2-7 years), the concrete operational stage (7-11), the formal operational stage (adolescence- adulthood). (Berk 228-258), The observation paper will be based on an observation conducted to two kids. One kid is between age of 3-5 years old and the other one is between 7-9

During Ms. Robin absence the first week I was in the 3 year old’s, then the next following week I was in the 2 year old’s. The most important thing to me is getting to know each child and seeing how each one is because all children are different. With the 3 year old’s it’s easier to understand because they talk better than the two’s in they are getting out of the baby faze. You may see some of the 3’s acting like babies but you just have to work with them to get them out of that faze. Once they see the other students acting older they start to act older when they get used to it.

Good morning John and Susan, it’s good to see you and Baby Steven today. After reviewing his growth chart and comparing it to the CDC growth chart, it looks like baby Steven is at the 75th percentile. A percentile that is greater than the 50th percentiles means a baby is above average (The WHO Child Growth Standards). This being said baby Steven is a little above average for his age. He is considered to be slightly overweight but it is nothing to worry about at this point. The rule of thumb is there is nothing to worry about unless a child jumps above or below two percentile lines.

An observational study would be one method a researcher could use to identify whether people respond differently to babies, depending on how the infant is dressed. According to Wade, Tavris, and Garry (2014), the first step taken is through an observational study, in order for the researcher to define and explain the behavior. Since we already know the behavior we want to explain, a good choice would be to observe the participants in their natural environment. In this case, a park, grocery store, or a store that carries baby furnishings. Any one of these locations would provide visitors with infants. The location of a city park would be an optimal choice.

Toni, 6, moved into Sanderling Waldorf School in January of her kindergarten year. During our initial meeting, her mother informed the me that Toni had been diagnosed with ADHD and on Ritalin for a year and would need some special attention. She and her husband, a Pilot, were looking for any suggestions the school could provide. I indicated that I would review Toni's file and asked the mother if she and her husband could come in to meet with me after I had the opportunity to observe Toni while in class.

I enjoyed reading your post. Observations are a good way to learn what a child knowns. It can show the observer what areas a child is good in and what they are not so good in (Beaty, 2014, p. 2). Like you, I feel that there is nothing “wrong” with Tommy right now. Children go through development at a different rate and therefore what one three-year old goes through another might not until later.
