Physical Characteristics Of The Child

I observed Harper, a 23 month old little girl that is full of energy. Also participating in the interaction with Harper was her mother and five year old sister, Mya. Harper is very friendly and outgoing. She is very interested “reading books” and loves to be read to. She enjoys helping her mother clean and do simple tasks. She seems to be very confident with and without her mother in her sight. Harper’s father is not actively involved in her life because he lives in another state.

Her fine motor skills are typical for her age group. For example, when she was drawing with chalk on the cement. She uses her left hand more frequent than her right hand. She also knows how to pick up a fork and feed herself. From what I observe she is still working on these two fine motor skills. Her Gross motor skills are developing typically for her age group. For example, she knows how to go up and down the stairs without holding on to the railings. Another example in, my observation, of gross motor skills is when she was at Chic-Fil-A she was able to climb up the stairs, slide down the slide, run, jump, and walk on tippy toes. From what I observe she is still developing in these areas of her gross motor skills. Some motor activities she enjoys is throwing balls, riding a bike, coloring, and dancing. Her eating habits seem to be good according to her mother. Her favorite snack are grapes. At this time the child does not have no feeling or opinion about her physical

I noticed each time that I observed Addie she wanted to do art first, you can tell it is her favorite. She always took her time during these art projects and was very enthusiastic when creating them. Another personality trait I noticed was that she is not a follower but a leader. She always did what she wanted to do and never changed stations when her friends did. Addie was so happy with her painting, filling up the entire canvas that she said to the teacher “we are almost done come see.” Addie spent the most time at the art station and held the longest attention span out of the three children I observed. She never moved back and forth between different activities during short periods of time. I did notice Addie wanted the attention from the

PDA covers a large spectrum of a masked disability. Not all children and young people with this disability will have all the characteristics and no two children will be the same. Some of the characteristics in children and young people with PDA include:

She is a quiet and friendly member of our class but is frequently shy and guarded. As a result, Charlee has made a few close friends who she usually talks to and plays with. Charlee now enjoys working with peers in a small group and is able to share and cooperate, often thoughtfully listening to others. She enjoys any activities that involve creativity and imagination. She is a hands on learner and is an enthusiastic participant in play. Charlee’s fine motor skills are developing and she is able to use scissors to cut in a straight line, although she does rush through activities she has minimal interest in, sometimes causing a messy result. Charlee has made a fantastic start to kindergarten and I look forward to seeing her focus and independence grow in the coming semester. To assist Charlee’s learning at home, I suggest encouraging Charlee to 'have a go' at new

All of the early year’s settings have inspections to make sure that they are following the EYFS guidelines and requirements. The inspector’s official name is Ofsted and they have a website that posts all of the grades that the nurseries get and this is make public to that everyone can see. Ofsted are inspecting the quality of the nurseries, the care of the children and the quality of the children’s development. The three areas Ofsted consider are:

From the short observation I did at Starpoint School it seems that Alexandria (name changed for privacy reasons) is developing at the same rate as her classmates, give or take a few activities or tasks. This whole classroom of twelve students whom are between six and eight years of age are typically developing alongside other groups of children I have come into contact with around the same age groups. Alexandria’s motor skills seem to be what one would consider normal for her age. When playing outside, she was running and jumping all around the play sets and throwing balls towards other classmates in a game that most of the children were engaged in. When throwing the ball, she was, for the most part, accurate on the technique of throwing a

Her eating habit is normal and she doesn’t forget to eat her lunch and dinner.

“The goals are to maximize an individual’s functional independence and quality of the life through development and learning improvements in social skills and communications, reductions in disability and comorbidity promotion of independence, and provision of support to families”(Lai, 2014). We are looking for the child’s weaknesses and strengths. What behaviors need to be targeted and how the change will come. William or Will for short refuses to comply with staff. When asked to stop talking or to finish his work and get in trouble with other students. Monthly behavior incidents average about 10 per month.

Today, millions of people worldwide depend on medications for their everyday health and well-being. Children are a small portion of the population and tend to be healthy which makes it particularly devastating when a small child is ill. Pediatric product development studies tend to be small due to the limited number of children available for clinical trial participation and the strict governmental regulations placed upon them (U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 2012). Nevertheless, drug testing, research, and use continues to rise due to the drive to help and improve the lives of ill children (U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 2012). However, very little attention is being paid to the doctors behind

Nowadays, more and more children have obesity compare to the children in thirty years ago. The research showed that children who have obesity in their early age may cause either short-term or long-term consequence. The short-term consequence for the obesity children include low self-esteem and the long-term consequence includes asthma and heart disease. (CDC) The best way to prevent these is to encourage children do at least one hour physical exercise a day within the trained instructor guided. ( Epstein 2014) My paper is mainly focused on how my curriculum promote physical development in a child care center.
