During my time at the Child Development Lab I was placed in the infant room. Multiple things caught my eye during my observation. As my last observation reflection stated, the main thing I observed was: children are strange creatures. One thing I thought was quite interesting was the fact that I did observe all three domains. I saw each multiple times, and in multiple different situations. The first domain I observed was physical. When I was escorted into the infant room it was empty. I was a little
For this paper, I interviewed my father, Terry Joe Burk. I decided to interview him because he has been there my whole life and has been able to see how I have developed and changed over the years. He was able to answer all of my questions and give me many examples of how my development compares to my siblings and to his own. He was also able to give me many examples about my life that I would not have had without this interview. I conducted the interview in person over Thanksgiving break so that

I observed three and four-year-old in the green room at the Children’s Center at the University of Wisconsin Platteville. Generally, these are the professor’s children that spend the day there while they are teaching classes. Multiple concepts that we discussed in class were expressed while observing the children.

For the first reflection paper assignment, the “How Would You…?” question located on page 168 presents the question that is discussed in this paper. This particular question states, “As a human development and family studies professional, how would you describe the ways in which parents influence their children’s notions of gender roles?” (Santrock, 2015, p. 168).
