How To Write A Family Observation Paper

I interviewed three different family member of all different age that have experienced my family culture in their own way. For my interview I interviewed My mother Okala Mundeke. She is originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo but she moved to America when she was 35 years old and she is now 50 years old. She has grown up mostly in Congo so she has a strong knowledge of our heritage and family history since she was around it more.. My sister Emmanuella Kalonda she was born in the congo but has little memory of it since she was less than a year old when she came to america. she is currently sixteen years old. But she was raised with my mother learning about family and our culture. My next candidate is my other sister Jocelyn Fetner

His attention span ha doesn't develop all the way yet because he didn’t last long at anything he was playing with. He was acting like a two year old where everything is his so he took over what the other children had without asking. With the social and emotional he was doing a lot of side by side play and not playing as interacting with the other children. He had fun playing by his self, but beside someone. He was using his physical motor skills, climbing up the climber just not making a good choice the way he was climbing. He was using fine motor to hold on to the toy and climb at the same time. He was using his hand and eye coordination to do the activities at he was playing with like the cars and poring the toys out the box. He had great motor skills moving along the classroom and picking where he wanted to go on. The language skills I really could not pick up on because he was not verbal just playing. Look like he was lacking in the language I heard another child being vocal asking the teacher what she was holding a conversation. He was helping his self to whatever he wanted didn’t need know help just playing and watching his friends. When he was parallel play, he was following the other child was doing. Typical Develop: The typical development that I noticed with Nick was the parallel play with the other children and not playing together. For 24 months the children “Enjoy being next to children of the same age and shows interest in playing with them, perhaps giving a toy to another child.” (Groark, McCarthy, &Kirk, 2014) Also with his language he did not do much talking just playing and the teacher should have talk to him more. He should have been talking to the other children but since he is at the parallel play he would be talking with just playing. I saw things I need and typical kids doing every day trying new things and things

In observation #1, the both parents were effective in getting a desired behavior from their children. The little boy’s mother was effective by encouraging her son to tell the truth. This is long-term because the boy didn’t fear the truth and informed his mother of what had happened. Her reaction and understanding motivates the child to tell the truth. On the other hand, the little girl’s

In life many individuals will experience the joys of marital bliss with the pleasure of happiness when they see their spouse, the thought of living their entire lives together, starting and raising a family, the process of buying their first home together as a married couple, and overall embarking on a new and profound journey with the one they love; on the contrary however many of these same couples will encounter times in the relationship and within their immediate family that will include feelings of: being overwhelmed, stressed, annoyed with their spouse, children, stepchildren “as many families are blended due to many first marriages ending in divorce after children have been conceived,” stress from work, bills, as well as the many other

I had the opportunity to interview a family very close to me whom I have been blessed to know since I was three years old. The mother Heidi, who is 59, remarried at the age of 31 to Paul, who is 57, and they have been married for 28 years now. Heidi had her first son Markie, who is now 38, with her previous husband who is no longer in the picture. Paul and Heidi have a son named Travis who is 26 and a daughter named Tina who is 24. Paul used to work as a carpenter but retired when he was 52. He then began working at a grocery store and eventually retired from there as well. Heidi also worked at a grocery and just recently retired. Paul loved what he did as a carpenter and still continues to build things for the family such as cabinets and furniture.

They are on a regular diet with few restrictions on fried foods and fat intake. The children eat school lunch and the parents from outside restaurant choices. Mom tries to cook a meal a day after work or they seldom eat Subway or Pizza Hut. No variation in weight gain or weight loss reported. They try to eat dinner as a family at home on a regular basis. However, this was not feasible all of the time due to dad’s late night work hours and CH basketball practices after school. They generally get 6-7 hours of sleep per night and denied any sleep deprivation. No exercise program has been implemented by this family. CH is the only physically, athletic member. DH stated that he likes to ride his bike. The children are active in Sunday school and participate in summer camp.

Around 18 months, it’s clear that Stella had started to become self aware, by talking to herself when looking in the mirror and smiling. I try to let her become more independent while still staying in control because she still needs guidance at this age. By the time Stella begins preschool, she is potty trained with a few accidents here or there, and seems to be advancing well socially, physically, and mentally. She had a bit of trouble when she started, becoming scared that I would not come back to get her, but after I reassured her, she seemed to calm down as soon as I left, demonstrating a bit of object permanence, that just because I am not there does not mean I have disappeared forever. She is a bit shy to start, but warmed up making it evident that she is a slow-to-warm up child according to Thomas and Chess (Thomas and Chess, 1977.) She is not a very active child, preferring to play by herself with her toys. When she gets stuck on something, I try and scaffold to support her, rather that doing it for her (H Snyder, lecture notes, September 20th, 2017.) By age two, Stella continues to explore the world around her, and my partner has been spending more quality time with her when possible. We are saving up to buy a home, so in order to save money we try and do inexpensive adventures with her (Manis, 2008.) Stella’s emotions have expanded, and by age 3 she is able to express these emotions with ease. When Stella is 3, I give

During this assessment, I interviewed a single-family home with a 32 year old mother, M.S, with a 4 year old daughter, M.S. II, from Costa Rica. The daughter was in pre-school and the mother had graduated high school and immediately worked with event planning. The family does not attend church, but practices under the Catholic traditions. I would place this family under the preschool stage of the family life cycle due to the oldest child is 4 years of age and the mother is adapting to her child’s needs in growth-producing ways. M.S and her daughter love spending time outdoors taking walks and visiting gardens. M.S. sews various items, including lunch boxes and aprons in her free time too.

My child 's name is Jude Alexander and he is a male. As a baby he is cautious around new people and situations, but warms up fairly quickly to friendly people. In kindergarten Jude Alexander seemed to have made one or two friends and usually played cooperatively and was sometimes reluctant to join in new activities with unfamiliar children. He performed below average on tests of vocabulary, and the ability to retell a story. He had a real knack for the art projects, and really got interested in the pre-math activities involving working with blocks and geometric shapes. In first through fifth grade he worked cooperatively in groups, usually respects the rights and property of others, and usually demonstrates appropriate peer social interaction. He demonstrates strength in art, all areas of reading, and in spelling and appropriate for the grade level in writing. He needs additional help in the areas of speaking and listening and in the content knowledge of social studies, science and music. He was average in mathematical problem solving, understanding of data, number concepts, graphical applications, and arithmetic computation. In the seventh grade, he consistently contributes to cooperative group activities and respects the rights and possessions of others, and shows age-appropriate social interaction with peers. He demonstrates strength in art, reading, spelling and writing. He was average in math and science, and needs additional

Mrs. Orbach made the children each a baked chicken thigh with two side dishes. The children each had two or more cups of juice. I did not see Cody eat because he was upstairs in his bedroom sleeping during my visit.

The overall theme of my mentoring experience is that at home life may not always affect the child as we learned. The first day I met AD, she opened up about her family right away, she had no problem with tell me what her home life was like. She said her mom was the only one of her parents to finish school and now has a job as an accountant. While her dad only finished high school, and is currently unemployed. Her parents are still together but her mom is gone a lot of the time so her dad is the main disciplinary. However, from what she says he doesn’t do a lot of discipline and it shows in AD actions while we are together. To me, it seems like her dad is a permissive/ indulgent parent. AD says that her dad gives her lots of praise but doesn’t

Everything was about to change, we wouldn’t order take-out on Sundays, it was a big deal, I was losing my best friend, the only father figure I have ever had so far. I watched him taking all of his stuff out of the apartment, I was getting more and more mad. Wasn’t our beautiful relationship enough to make him stay? I even blame myself I thought I had done something wrong, maybe wearing his clothes and leaving them all messy, I apologize and swear not to do it again, but it didn’t matter the decision was already made.

Solomon is a friend of mine who has an art gallery. I interviewed Solomon over the phone for my Art appreciation class. I started my question by asking how and when does he start an art. Solomon told me he starts an art when he was seven years old chilled. He started from drawing pictures of animals in his exercise book and his paintings were better than all students in the class. His drawings were more special and they had secret meanings. After his grade eight, Solomon starts making different shapes of holy cross sculpture arts from woods and stones. He also, starts selling those holly cross arts to tourists and local people.

My family health assessment was conducted using the 11 Gordon functional health pattern. Marjorie Gordon’s functional health pattern is a guide for establishing a comprehensive nursing date base, using the 11 categories enable nurses determines the following aspects of health and human function (Gordon 1987). The Gordon 11 functional health patterns are health perception/health management, nutrition, elimination, activity/exercise, cognitive, sleep/rest, self perception/self concept, roles and relationships, sexuality and reproduction, coping and stress tolerance, values and belief. This paper will summarize the findings of each health pattern as well as the family based nursing

A family health assessment is a significant instrument in conveying a health care plan for a family. This paper will discuss the nurse’s role in family assessment and how this task is performed. By the use of family focused open ended questions, 11 functional health patterns were covered. The health patterns were values and health perception, nutrition, sleep and rest, elimination, activities and exercise, cognitive, sensory-perception, self-perception, role relationship, sexuality, and coping. This principle is known as the Gordon’s functional health patterns. Family health assessment defines the assessment of actual and potential problems of individuals (Gordon, 1994). This assessment tool included 11 systematic principles for data collection of the family, and assists the nurses to develop a nursing diagnosis and appropriate interventions. Using Gordon’s functional health patterns, this paper will summarize the findings of each health pattern as well as the family based nursing diagnosis of each assessment. This paper will also discuss different health promotion strategies along with web-based resources, also including a system based theory guide in family assessment.
