Utilizing two naturalistic settings I observed 2 year old JR. The two naturalistic settings included his home, and Chuck E. Cheese, which he frequents often with family, during both observations JR’s parents and sister were present. JR, was adopted approximately 10 months ago, his exact birth weight and height are unknown making it impossible to chart growth. Yet physicians advise that JR is well within the growth range for his age additionally stating that no indications of cognitive or physical disorders. JR has an easy temperament, as long as care givers are present. JR, is 24 months old, placing him in the category of infancy, or stage one of development. During my first observation which took place at Chuck E. Cheese, I witnessed JR.
Biosocial development in early play years continues to play an important role in the growth of a child. Growth in is this context is described as a change in size while development is characterized by changes in complexity and function.
The guide below explains what you might expect from the development of the child through various ages:
On Friday I spent the morning with Jacob who is six years one month old at College America. The morning began with a physical assessment and an interview of Jacob, and the afternoon I was able to observe him at play. Jacob is in first grade and he is the oldest child in his family with a younger brother and a younger sister. After doing a physical assessment and an interview with Jacob he appears to be an overall healthy and happy child with no obvious physical or emotional problems. According to Erikson’s developmental stages Jacob is in stage three where Jacob should be developing purpose in his life.
The Child Study data I have gathered comes from the observation I have completed at Mission Bell Elementary School. Mission Bell Elementary School is a local school in Riverside. In the P.M preschool class there are 24 students, one teacher, and one assistant. The child I decided to observe is names Zoe. Zoe is 4 years and 10 months old. I immediately was drawn to Zoe because she had such a big personality, was very social, and smart. I am glad that I choose to observe Zoe because she was able to make my observation process smooth and easy. While observing her I had to pay close attention to her biosocial development, motor skills, cognitive skills, communication skills,

In order to discover whether child is in secure stage, Ainsworth and her colleagues (Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters, & Wall, 1978) investigated a ‘strange situation’ experiment, observing infant’s behaviours and emotional expressions by
The milestones achieved follow a pattern, however the rate differs as each child is unique. This information becomes important to early childhood educators to track and trace and intervene so that additional help and support can be provided benefitting the child. Lack of information regarding the rate and sequence of development will not enable us to provide intervention. Delayed intervention can lead to complication and irreversible defects.
Children develop in many ways including through physical activity, mental activity and interaction with others (Roode, 1). According to a January 2007 clinical
When Canaan turned nine months old the pediatrician did an examination on him. He was difficult to soothe when upset, he is now ready to be able to eat a variety of foods ground up, he readily adapted to the new people and situation, and he is advanced in his gross and fine motor skills. At twelve months, Canaan could clearly understand a couple of dozen words and pronounced his first clear word. At fifteen months, Canaan often studies his environment and preformed simple little “experiments.” Canaan is able to be enrolled in preschool as soon as he becomes reasonably well potty-trained. At his nineteen month assessment it was reported that Canaan was fairly aggressive with the other children, insecure and uncertain about my attentions, readily engaged with her socially and made good eye contact, he became moody and irritable several times during the play
This paper is going to describe the behavioral and cognitive traits that can be inferred from that behavior of a two year old child that I observed in the park as she was playing with her mother. The child that I observed is a girl, has blonde hair and is physically well-developed for her age. She is around two, weighs approximately twenty (20) pounds and is about two (2) feet tall.
After observing a nine month old child for this Child Observation paper, the author of this paper has taken copious notes during the session. The purpose of this paper is recognizing the biological, cognitive and psychosocial development of the child. The author of this paper identified the background history of the child, the observation made and the development process of the child.
This study is intended to document my observation of a child between the ages of 2-5. The small child I observed is a 4 years old male. Family arrangements consist of the mother being the primary caregiver of her son. Since the child is not old enough to consent to my amateur study, I have received permission from the mother and father. The method used in this clinical report is a naturistic observation in which I went to the family’s household where I recorded his behavior for an hour.
The parents reported that their child’s pre and post natal development was normal without illness or injury. However, as an infant/toddler, he had been difficult to soothe when upset and demanded constant attention which his parents found difficult to manage.
Observer visited a play place of a restaurant in New Jersey, Hackensack. Why I have chosen the place is easy to observe every part of child development such as cognitive, social emotional, language as well as physical at the same time. Observer performed the observation on April 28 from 1 pm to 3pm. The child was an Asian boy. He has strait short black hair with dark brown eyes and thin black eye brows. His height looked around 37 inches that he may be a little smaller than other early childhood children. He looks thin and has a full set of teeth inside his mouth, full cheeks, and a small button nose.
To conclude, I observed how Robert insisted into doing many things on his own, such as claiming ladders, going down different slides and even attempting to doing the monkey bar. The father seems let him do things on his own, but remained highly alert. However, the mother seemed worry about Robert falling and hurting himself. She would call him and ask him to not go on the monkey bars. I also observed when Robert attempted to play with older kids, his mother would tell him to play with children his age. Overall, after having observed Robert for over a period of 60 minutes it seems that he is a healthy Three-year-old boy. According to the multiples theories that I utilize to help me gain a better understanding of what a toddler experience during
