    Summary: Child Observation

    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…

    Early Childhood Observation

    Some people like to work early morning, others like to work until late at night. I would prefer to get up early morning and start my day’s work than working until late night. Working early in the morning can make me more energetic and I can remember everything quickly. There are many reasons why I like work early morning is that I feel fresh, I have more time to do different activities.…

    Infant Observation

    Tommy is sitting on the floor with his toys around him. His teacher sits on the floor next to him and he begins to hand his teacher a series of toys. 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. He does check to see if she is pay attention to him as he plays. His teacher starts picking up toys and organizing the room and he periodically goes over to her and becomes interested in what she is doing. Tommy seems very dependent on his teachers mood. He smiles when she smiles and if she is distracted he wants to obtain her attention and seems to gauge and react to her facial expressions. It seems that their relationship is positive and his teacher is very…

    My Infant Observation

    My infant observation, Christopher Myles Honeycutt, born January 21st, 2014. At 9:45am I arrived at Chris' home, which he was just waking up and getting his diaper changed. By 10am Chris was in his bouncy chair, while his parents made him and his brother breakfast. By 10:15am his father was feeding him cinnamon apple oatmeal, which he seemed to enjoy it because he ate 8oz of it in 15 minutes, but because he kept grabbing at his spoon he ended up with an ounce or two on him. (Feeding time is a good example of Erikson's Trust vs. Mistrust stage, because Chris' is trusting his father to feed him.) At 10:30 the mother prepares a bath for him, as she bathes him he smiles, kicks up water, laughs, and claps. (These are all signs of good sensorimotor.) By 11am he was bathed, powdered, dressed and put in his play area. Chis only sits in his play area before he starts getting fussy and begins yelling and babbling then precedes to get up and uses the couch to walk. (Which is a little early for him to walk according to a national average which is nine months). As Chris kept trying to leave his area, his parents would put him right back in his play area. (This learning process is called Operant Conditioning). And though Chris was getting really frustrated with his parents, he still continued to do it until about 11:45am, which was the time his dad came over to change his diaper. At 11:50am Chris and his father began to play and as his father tickled and played with Chris he showed great signs of social responses, like baby babbling, and laughing, and being shocked by his father hiding behind the couch and popping back up. (This shows me, he has normal brain development because he understand what’s going on and has reactions to actions around him.) After about an hour of playing Chris begins to get really upset, he was screaming, crying, and began chewing on his hands. So immediately his father put a binky in his mouth which he spits out and continues crying, a minute later…

    Baby Observation

    The child started to wrap a baby doll in a baby blanket. At first she seemed to be exploring how to use the blanket, then she placed the doll on the floor in front of her and laid the blanket over the baby, brought the baby up to her to proceed in wrapping the baby. She was very precise in how she was wrapping the baby, but was also very slow in what she was doing. She seemed to really enjoy this activity, as she was very concentrated on what she was doing, and eventually moved to a place alone so that she may continue wrapping the baby on a table (which she was not supposed to do, she was supposed to remain on the rug with the rest of the children).…

    Toddlers Development

    Social and emotional development is important to take into consideration at the toddlerhood age. Children of this age are flooded with new feelings (positive and negative) that they may not have felt before, such as frustration, anxieties and pleasure. Toddlers begin to become more open to social experiences, they are able to meet and communicate with other children in different situations such as daycare or schooling. They begin to take an interest in learning and playing and can understand each person individually. This includes identification of the person. For example this is aunty, this is grandfather and this is cousin.…
