The next morning Fares mom came and talked to him in the morning, while they were going back to the class. She asked why he hit Fares, and told him not to do it. He also said that she poke him on the shoulder with her finger. I asked him if it hurt, and he said no. I asked him why he didn’t mention it yesterday when we talked, and he said that he forgot.

Child development is an amazing thing to watch in the way that children interact with one another and how they perceive the world that surrounds. While doing our research of child development we began to observe a group of kids ranging the ages 1 – 12. During these observations we noticed traits such as attachment, comfort, and love. Through the following examples we will proceed to observe development in our environment and explain its relativity to the text
The other 2 kids snickered and started to make funny faces at me. I wasn’t going to let them get to me, but of course, I couldn’t hold my anger in.
