Observations is needed in our profession because it helps us read children without hearing them. We understand what they’re going through by their facial expressions, body language or tone of voice. I feel that I have mastered this gift of reading what children and adults want because I have three children of my own. Each child is different and reacts to situations differently. Therefore, knowing what signs to look for helps tremendously when successfully guiding children. In my first observation, I had a wonderful time observing one of two three star In-Home daycare in my state. I came in the classroom close to 10:30am and began my observation. The children where freely playing moving around. They played together but wanted what the other …show more content…
The teacher later explained she just went out and purchased four more because each child was fighting over the toy. Although, there were enough the little boy wanted two and didn’t want to give one to his little friend. The teacher politely instructed the child to give the other vacuum to his friend and we must share. The little boy did this with no problem and everyone continued playing and rolling their vacuums. This was a fun, happy loving environment and children were playing and learning at the same time. My second observation is a little challenging because I witness a playground bully and I didn’t nothing about but observed. The children were playing and running around the park area until a child refuses to let children slide down the slide. Then after a parent corrected the children in a harsh manner the child fought back by cursing back. In this observation the parent cursing at the child was wrong because the child probably gets enough of that at home. I truly believe this child needs someone to show him some tender loving care. After, he moved from in front of the slide and children started sliding again, the boy ran off crying. I wonder even if the child was going home because he already was at the park by himself and he looked no other
Observation is vital when you’re trying to guide behavior. With observation you can learn what interests or what children have struggles with. You can also learn how a child tackles problems or handles their frustrations, and it can also help you understand why children do the stuff they do. When you have accurate and detailed observations you can provide more precise information to parents about their child’s behavior and also to your administrators and colleagues.
The child I observed was a four year old boy. My Child's weight is 39.6 pounds. His height is 42.1 inches. My child lands on the 75 percentile. The child's body mass is 15.62. He landed on the 50 percentile for his body mass. My child's height, weight and body mass is a typical for a four year old.
Describe the locations where you conducted observations and how much time was spent observing at each site: who was there, what were they doing, when and where did you observe, how was it being conducted. Briefly describe the people and setting at each site.
For my Child observation, I did a little girl named Bryntlie. Bryntlie has an older sister, along with a mom and dad. Bryantlie doesn’t have a cat or a dog, but she loves her cows. She said she has a hundred black ones. When I asked her what her favorite food was, she didn’t even hesitate, she smiled and said, “cheese pizza”, and she eats it every night. Bryntlie likes to play Barbie’s with her sister and her favorite color is light blue like the sky. She explained to me that she has a huge 6-foot doll house and she has a smaller one too. She went into detail about her doll house, it has 3 rooms, a bathroom, kitchen and a huge porch. Bryntlie loves to read, her favorite book is Brown Bear Brown Bear. She said her mother reads her the story every night before she goes to bed. Her favorite character in the story is the fish, because she likes to swim. Her favorite song is Twinkle-Twinkle Little Star, she said she likes the song because she likes watching the stars at night. Bryntlie was telling me a story about how her sister and herself went to help dad feed the cows. Big sister got in the fence with the cows to go pet the baby calf and got chased by the momma cow. But she went on to explain to me that it wasn’t the momma cows fault because she was trying to protect her baby. Bryntlie likes to drawl. If you set a piece of paper down in front of her, she will write her name really big on the right-hand side and then begins to draw. She mostly drawls flowers, hearts and
Observation is very important in young children because that is how you get to know a child better. While observing how a child interacts with their peers, adults, and how they behave in different settings, you are getting to know the child without speaking to them.
Briefly describe what you observed. Include the number and types of adults, ages and gender of children, time of day and type of environment.
EDuring observations and interviews the child was hesitant to respond to questions. He appeared somewhat withdrawn at times. The child reported he likes his current school and has friends there. However, he reported he was angry at his father for putting him in a larger school as he liked the smaller school he used to attend, where he had many friends.
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:
The idea of observation in children is very important, because that what children do they observe. To help think, sort or identity, kids use their eyes as well as the other senses. From their youngest moments children are attracted to shapes. Beaty stated “children need to observe the things they are interested in and to express their feelings in the graphic language of drawing”. The first shape they may be attracted to is oval, circular objects because that what they see first, they see their mother’s round, oval face. Children can draw from what they have seen. If one asks a child to look at a picture, or object, they will draw it how they can saw it. The ides of art are sometimes or if not often, seen as a way as express ones emotions with
So by asking how the child is feeling today it lets me understand their mood and how well they can express what feelings they have. The more complex children would go about what they did that day and it made them feel. When asking how their day was comes a follow up question of, if anything had made their day better or worse. If they can describe that feeling they are showing self expression, which is good in an early child's life. Usually when it comes to bad moods or good modes its because some other child behavior toward them. Asking a child who the names of their friends are and what they look like is a great way to get the child to use their brains in examining how people look and act as friends. Now when asking a child about what foods
At around 4 p.m. this worker arrived at Amber’s home were the children were scheduled to be dropped off by Ms. Gadis. When the children arrived they greeted their mother with a hug and kiss. Amber then instructed the children to put their things away. Amber then provided the children with a snack and told then they would be eating pizza for dinner. After they put away their things they talked to Amber about the type of pizza they wanted and seemed very excited. Amber stated she would be ordering the pizza soon but they could go upstairs and play the game together. Amber, David Jr, and Bre’Asya play the game for over an hour before getting ready to eat dinner. They laughed and joked with each other throughout the activity while made the activity fun for them.
The first thing I did after walking in the house and greeting Miss Orbach, was check to see if she was able to do the tasks I left her with of the weekend. 1.take the shoes she did not want and donate them, 2. introduced the children to the chore chart, 3. Maintain and continue to organize the living room, 4 look over her Parent Plan and come up with ideas for a Family Team Meeting and 5. make copies of the kitten for free Flyers. Some of the things on her homework check list she was able to for full and other things proved to be more difficult. The bag of shoes was still in the font of the living room. She had introduced the chore chart, but could not get the children to follow. In the living room she was still working on finding where everything
The evaluation of coughing and sneezing technique will use return demonstration to make sure children understand it. The teacher will use direct observation of the behavior to evaluate the children’s’ understanding of the skill (Miller & Stoeckel, 2016, p. 321). Direct observation is done by using the senses to observe the children (Miller & Stoeckel, 2016, p. 321). Then a rubric will be used to record the observation and how well the children did. Rubrics are often used to determine how the children preformed (Miller & Stoeckel, 2016, p. 324). Then, to evaluate cold and flu symptoms the game will address one and the teacher will make notes on how well

My first thought about this subject was that it would be really fun and exciting because of the subject's description, "Observational Child Study", where we can already experience actual child observation. Fortunately, I was right. Our professor tackled amazing topics that really served as an eyeopener. We encountered topics about the characteristics of some of the disabilities like autism, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, learning disabilities, and also, developmental delays. We even had the chance to test ourselves using the checklists or the assessment tools used for assessing children with special needs. Observation is the main point of our subject. Our professor discussed some of the tips on how to observe children in a proper way. Narrative report was also included in the process. We made written reports about the 10-minutes observations we made from employees we've
