    The narrator loved her baby and complimented her saying “She was a beautiful baby”(Olsen 382) and “she was a miracle to me”(Olsen 382). However when Emily was only eight months old when the narrator “had to leave her daytimes with the woman downstairs to whom she was no miracle at all”(Olsen 382), this was just the first of many absences of the two in each others life. The narrator had to look for work so she would have money to be able to raise her baby girl. We also learn that at this time the narrator is only nineteen years old and Emily’s father had left them because he “could no longer endure”(Olsen 383). The narrator “would start running as soon as I got off the streetcar,” (Olsen 383) to get home and see Emily. It killed her to be away from her daughter especially at such a young age where a baby needs her mother the most. The narrator finally finds a job working nights so that she is able to spend the daytime with her…

    I observed a child throwing a fit at the mall the other day. This child did not want to leave the store and did not want to get into her stroller. She started to throw her head back and scream very loudly. Then she would throw her arms around and kick, in an attempt to not be strapped in. The mother started to yell at her daughter to stop while trying to strap her in. After a few minutes of the child kicking and screaming she was able to strap her in. But the child continued to scream, this was when the mother decided to leave the mall. My recommendation is that instead of trying to force the child into the stroller the parent could have held the child. Trying her best to calm her down, since the child was throwing around her body while the…

    Susan Comforting the Baby," by Mary Cassatt, and Young lady Powdering Herself, by Georges Seurat, is strikingly similar in topic and how it is done. Funny thing to consider is that "Susan Comforting the Baby" was painted in 1881 and "Young lady Powdering Herself" was painted eight years later in 1889, we can even say that Cassatt and Seurat were peers who delivered the same work in the Impressionism period.

    The three year olds gross motor skills, which are related to active play, consisted of throwing a large ball and running at a long distance to catch it, jumping up and down, climbing up the slide and jungle gym with ease and quickly. There was constant movement with the child in all the 45 minutes that I observed her and her level of activity was very high. It was hard to catch her at moment of stillness, and even then he would be fidgeting under the table or in her seat. Her fine motor skill included, using crayons and coloring a picture, and even though most of it was scribbles(which at this age they tend to do), she was able to remain inside the coloring picture outline. At many points through the day, I caught her zipping up and down her…

He is interested in the reaction of his teacher as he hands her his blocks, one by one. Tommy leans forward, grabs a block and hands it to his teacher. He watches her face and sort of drops his mouth open as he waits for her reaction. She then tells him the letter and color on the block. He nods his head forward and then reaches for another block and proceeds to pick up another block. After picking up 5 blocks and handing them to his teacher he then crawls across the floor to a toy car and pushes it for a moment. He looks up at his teacher to see what she is doing and pushes the car toward her. He smiles at her and she smiles back and says “Is that your car?” he smiles again and nods his head forward. Tommy is very interested in his teacher’s reaction to him. She continues to watch him even when he is interested in a toy or moving away from her.

    I believe the most challenging aspect about this particular position is investigating a facility due to the allegations reported and properly documenting. When investigating a facility, one must be aware of their surroundings and properly multi-task because an investigation may involve talking to multiple individuals while receiving documents and presenting presenting facts. The main focus is to secure the child in that particular environment, by following all policies and procedures of the agency. This appeal to me because I've had a personal experience of child care negligence. When my daughter was younger she attended at child care facility that I trust and believe would properly care for my child. One day, I stopped by to check on her…
