Child Observation Paper

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.

I observed a young girl name Julianna at her home. As I arrived at her house and knocked on the door she greeted and opened the door for me. She was happy to see someone different other than her mother’s. Julie was full of energy even though she just got back from school. Well right away she took me to see her pet bunny named “beast”. When I was done seeing her pet bunny, I came to the dining table. I interviewed Julie’s mother to get some insight of how she was when she was a baby till now. The first question I asked to Julie’s mother was, “How was her pregnancy?” She responded, “Like any other normal pregnancy, I had morning sickness, craving for oranges.” Julie’s mother told me during her four month of pregnancy she got sick but luckily

The observation took place between a mother and her son. The child appeared to be about 24 months old. The video was 10 minutes and 21 seconds long. In this video, the boy, his older brother and sister, and his mom are painting wooden pineapples and flowers. The paint being used is in six connected plastic containers with pop lids. There is also a brush for each child, a cup of water for each child, and paper towels present on the table. The mom is specifically helping the youngest boy, only the two of them are shown in the video. They are painting outside on a small plastic table outside on what appears to be a deck. Another woman is present as well, again not pictured, and the dad walks by on two separate occasions. Both the women and the dad have small interactions with the boy.

I went to a family day care that my sister’s friend mother works at. I made sure to get permission from her and the parents of the child I observed. I arrived at the place around 12 p.m., I saw two caregivers and three children. There were two girls and one boy, one was a 1-year-old girl. The other girl was 3 and the boy was 4 years old. I observed a 4-year-old boy who is Hispanic/Latino with short black hair and light brown eyes. He has a light skin color, loose ear lobes and had casual clothes (gray shirt, blue jeans and normal sneakers). I asked the caregiver if she knew his weight and height, she said that he is 38 inches tall and weighed 32 pounds. It was my first time meeting him so I was surprised by how clam, but upbeat he was. I did get one child out of three who was anxious of me, the rest were mostly curious about me. He is bilingual, he spoke mostly English with me, but Spanish with the caregiver. He

For this assignment, I viewed the airing of Dr. Phil on Monday, June 1. In this episode, a mother brought her daughter Melanie onto the show in an effort to deal with her drug addiction issues, as well as her negative behaviors. Yet, the session spent a great deal of time focusing on the mother and her own actions and attitude. From watching the episode, it seems as if Dr. Phil practices behavioral psychology. After introducing the background of the daughter and the family life through the videos, he spent time talking with the mother, Dana, about her negative actions. He called her out on having the worst behavior towards his team, and even called out his head producer so that she could apologize to him. This is because Dr. Phil felt that

The amount of sleep was self-reported by participants using a sleep diary. In the sleep diary participants would note the time they got into bed, how long it took them to fall asleep, the number and duration of awakenings during the night, what time they awoke, and what time they got out of bed. Misinformation or false memory was evaluated in a few different phases. In the first phase the participants took part in a

himself during the activity. The second task required the child to use four or five word sentences. I asked the child to tell me what he wanted to do for his birthday. The child replied “I want to go to the phone store and I want to go to IHOP”. The child was able to use a fifteen word sentence. The child paused multiple times during his thought process in formulating his sentences. The third task evaluated the child usage of the past tense. I asked the child to tell me what he did yesterday. The child replied “I played the game; I played on a friend phone, watched a scary movie at night, and went to bed”. The child was able to use the past tense to describe his prior day. The child had continuous movements swaying side to side in his chair

Lastly, I observed a newly identified 9-year-old boy named Addie, who used to be a girl named Adeline. I was Adeline’s nanny, so it was to no surprise that I was invited to her birthday party. I took this opportunity to observe, however, when I arrived, I was thrown off by Adeline’s new appearance. Adeline, who was now went by Addie, cut her hair short, and was wearing boy’s baggy jeans with a monster truck shirt. Addie raced up to his room to show me what his parents got him for his birthday, and I followed him in shock. When I entered his room, I saw newly painted blue walls with sports posters, and toy cars scattered on his carpet. I was taken back by the masculinity of his bedroom. He showed me his new light up sword, but his parents told

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.

This experience was chosen to encourage the children to explore and participate in growing their own food in order to extend their knowledge and understanding of where food originates from and present the importance plants have on earth’s eco-systems. The activities in this learning plan are designed to assist children in connecting with the natural environment and understanding their world around them through sensory and hands-on investigation (Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations [DEEWR], 2009). When children are connected with and contribute to their world, they develop environmental values and become socially responsible citizens who show respect for the environment (DEEWR, 2009). Altering the connectedness of children

On the 5th of February 2016 I observed a two year old boy by the name of Tyler Brown at 12:00 pm in the afternoon in his home with his mother. Tyler has a younger brother Jordan who is approximately 4 months old. Tyler just started preschool and he is very excited and constantly refers to his school. He was born on the February 11, 2013.

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.

Welcome to a portfolio about Eleanor and her abilities, I have observed. I have enjoyed the time spent getting to know her and thank you for the opportunity.

Since infants spend more time asleep during their first year of life, previous research had stated that sleep is strongly related to cognitive problem solving in both adults and infants. The study focused on whether if individual differences in an infant’s sleep pattern are related to variability in remembering a 2-step sequence and memories of information using cues after a two hour delay. This was done over the course of seven days with infants that are 10-months-old. Parents completed the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire which gave information on their child and sleep was measured by using the device of actigraphy. Infants were shown the same 2-step sequences, but to ensure validity there were two versions of the sequence. In order to

Children observed, ages 3 to 4 who experienced irregular sleep, interrupted sleep or frequent night waking’s displayed altered concentration and problematic behavior in some, conducts Sadeh (2015). Researchers believe there is a long-term effect on interrupted sleep. This can be shown in the toddler’s behavior, attention and concentration. The research used was longitudinal and many methods were used such as an actigraphy and attention span measurement using a computerized test done 3-4 years after the initial start of the study. Observation was conducted by the parents and reports were used
