The child’s name is Zahra and she was born February 4th 2014 and when I observed she is 4 years old. The health history of the child was that she was full term and 9 pounds, and she doesn’t have any health issues, recurring conditions or accidents that require medical care. She does have siblings actually two of them, one is nine and the other is eleven. But they do not live in the same home and the four year old. She is the third child, and it doesn’t have an impact on her only that she looks up to her brother and sister. In the home there is one parent which is her mother but also in the home there is her grandmother. The grandmother has her bachelor’s degree and the mother has her associate’s degree. There is one adult family member …show more content…
In autonomy she does know what she likes to eat and what she likes to play with so in certain stage I do see her already doing things in but in others she has time to work in them Her cognitive development compared to Piaget’s stages of cognitive development would be in the preoperational stage for toddler through the age of seven. And within this children are able to think symbolically and their language become more mature. And around this age they develop memory and imagination, and engaging in make-believe play. With her she is able to play by herself and with other people and I have noticed when she does play by herself or even when she was playing with her shopkin toys she was doing make-believe play as if the toys are talking to each other. Her language development compared to the typical age using milestone charts she is going to have to work in class or even out of class to take turns and responding appropriately to her partners remark or anyone who is trying to tell her something or help her. How children rely on sounds in the names of letter and they grasp the sound letter correspondences and learn that some letter have more than one common sound. For the next stage in her physical/motor development using the milestones she should be working on tying her shoes, being able to draw more complex/detailed picture if possible, and being able to hold her pencil in an
I set goals for all the children in my care and we are constantly working toward them each day. When I began this project with the child I set them goals after I seen they were capable of completing the present goal. I think the benefits form this is a positive step forward for the children and their learning goals.

The developmental theories can not be more evident than during the out of class assignment at the daycare facility. During this independent assignment, I was able to observe and interact with pre-school children in an environment that is both encouraging and facilitating to a child’s developmental growth. So, just as Piaget in his developmental theory believed that children takes an active role in the learning process, acting much like little scientists as they perform experiments, make observations, and learn about the world; the pre-school teachers allowed them to do just that. Indeed, the teachers at the day care provided room for the child to learn and explore while at the same time adhering to a structure that set boundaries and limitations. Thus, the pre-school children, begrudgingly, learns to follow a meticulous schedule of activities and rest.

Within zero to six months Aurora can be still in a fetal posture, put her chin up, chest up, reach around, sit with Justin or my support, sit on our laps, grasp object and sit on her purple high chair grasping for dangling objects. So far she has improved her motor skills. Then within seven to fifth months Aurora started sitting alone, stand with help, stand holding furniture, creep, walk when we led her, pull to stand by furniture climb stair steps, stand alone with no help and walked alone. Now she has reached her toddler stage where she no longer need us to support her up or carry her. Her motor skills keeps improving day by day grasping everything and anything she can get her hands
Over the past eight weeks this class has not only fulfilled my major requirements, but also made me understand more about the complexity of child development and how I can become a better person as a future parent and educator. Since I am an Education major, the four topics that would benefit me in the future are Erikson’s stages, Induction, Educational Self Fulfilling Philosophy, and Adolescence. I plan to be successful with my career and use what I have learned in Child Development to prepare future’s leaders of tomorrow.
There are multiple factors in a child’s development. Parents have a responsibility, as well as a privilege, to contribute to every milestone. Most parents stress over physical and mental stages so much so that play-time is ignored. By making decisions that sacrifice play parents hinder their social development. Parents must take action and encourage their youth to play more, before childhood is lost forever.
