Thing and Children
As we go along, time goes very quickly; yesterday was my 3 day at my work practice. Basically children have very similar structure. I will not be talking in details, because most of the thing will be pretty much the same as last my 2 times above. Yesterday we had really full group. Between 9.30 and 10a.m children had their free play time. All of them were playing with blocks but different styles. At 10a.m children had breakfast time. They finished around 10.30. After that we had circle time. Children were introduced 2 new letters “r” and “m”. We repeated the letters what children already know. At 11 we did playdough with children. At 11.40 we brought children for little walk in the crèche garden. At 12p.m they had snack time. While the part time children were collecting by parents, the full time were staying and we were waiting for the afternoon group, I read stories to them and teach them a song about Halloween. At 2p.m children had the meal time. I left at 2.30p.m. For the first time I saw a little boy in the group. The group teacher said the parents bring him maybe once a week or so. The boy did not want to stay at all. He was all the time holding his dad and crying. I have to admit the boy do not has any English. The teacher asked dad to stay. While dad was there, the little boy was ok, but if dad tried to go he was in hysteric again. Every teacher in turn tried to talk to him, nothing helped. I brought my own story book from home, so I took this book, I sat down with that boy and started to show him pictures. He was ok. I asked him to go with me to the toilet to wipe his nose. When we came back, his dad was gone. He started crying straight away. He rang to the door, trying to open it. Then he was jumping and banning the door, throwing things. When the group teacher wanted to talk to him, it made it worse. Then another teacher was talking to him. We ended up that he started biting, pinching, pushing and throwing thing at us. So we left him alone. I asked

    I work alongside key stage 1 children aged between 5 and 6 years old. I establish a respectful, professional relationship with children by communicating clearly and using the child’s name (finding out/learning them if not known). I adapt my behaviour appropriately when communicating with children and use my body language and actions to help me. I always get down to the child’s level when speaking, so that they do not feel intimidated. I never shout. I make myself approachable by smiling and being friendly, also I have found that firm ground rules and mutual respect from the start has helped. I discuss what I expect from them and visa versa so the children (have a sense) know I’m listening to them. I always listen to the children and if its inappropriate timing I make time to listen and talk things through at break time/lunchtime. When children become quiet and out of character I make conversation by asking questions like: ‘how are you?’, ‘What’s the matter?’…

    I asked Boy F to concentrate and listen to what the teacher was asking. He did so for a minute but then kept on fidgeting. I removed his pencil and asked him to tuck his tie in his jumper. I tried to encourage him in the arm movements necessary to join in with the class and he did so half-heartedly, but repeatedly wouldn’t sit still and concentrate, disturbing the boy sat next to him.…

    My first day of placement was something of a disaster; nothing went right on the first day and it made me go into a negative state of mind which meant that everything that day didn’t go right and I didn’t feel that I enjoyed it. First of all I was an hour late for placement as I was unable to find it; this made me feel negative about the placement and meant that I was not going to enjoy the placement. Once I had arrived at placement, the staff didn’t even know I was coming and I had no induction, health and safety regulation check or anything which was making me think they were a bit unorganized. Once I had gotten to know the children, there was one child that had threatened me because I didn’t buy an ice cream…the staff had witnessed this incident but had just laughed it off which again, put me in a negative state of mind which made me feel annoyed because they weren’t willing to do anything after I had been threatened, afterwards I just brushed it off and forgot about it but I was still in a bit of dis-belief that a child would actually do something like that. When we walked to the park, the children had a buddy system in which they held hands with each other, some of the children held hands with staff but there were too many children and not enough staff so I felt that this was unsafe for the children and that something needed to be done about it. I don’t feel that I could approach the manager because it would feel awkward and feel like I am telling them how to do their job. But I could ask questions. The threat wasn’t a realistic threat but it still moved me that she did threaten me. I would have liked the staff to have told her not do to that and that it wasn’t very nice.…

    The childhood development of the individual followed the normal development patterns that are expected. In the childhood stage the individual development changed rapidly and their ability to be active and learn new skills improves on a daily basis. During childhood a child will grow steadier compared to an infant. A child’s body and organs size grows at a steady pace. By the age of 6 a child’s head will be 90% of a full adult size even though the rest of a child’s body has a lot more to grow and to develop. Until a child reaches late childhood, and entering adolescence, an individual’s reproductive organs are still not fully developed. Infants and children can suffer from delayed development. This could cause potential effects and risks on a person’s development. This can happen in the first 5 years of a child’s life and this can be cause by brain damage, poor or no interaction with care givers, diseases, learning or behavioural disabilities, visual or hearing disabilities. The factors mentioned can cause a child to suffer from delayed development. Emotional and social development in a child will change a huge amount due to their change in their daily routine when they going into education and they aren’t around their family as they are used to within infancy. From age 4-9 years old is the first social learning of social development in a child. From a young age, young children are emotionally attached and dependent on their care givers. The change within the introduction of school and social environments can be a struggle for some children to understand. For emotional development the key skills within childhood are understanding self and other, and is a focus within development in schools to ensure that children are aware of who they are the differences within society and other people. Imagination is used a lot in children they use it to begin to understand social situations and roles within life. Relationships within the family become more important and…

    Kiahi a boy of about 3 years old was playing alone stood on a small hill of dirt , at first it looked like her was just looking at the other kids play. When I kept looking at him to see if he was just going to continue to doing nothing, but watch the other children I noticed that he was standing there like a solider tall and with determination on his face. With his hand to his forehead looking about as the other children ran around. After a while I see that he is pointing to his class mates at random and looks to be giving directions, more like orders, of some sort, although no one is paying attention. After giving off orders in a solider like manner he nods his head, as though satisfied with himself and his team though…

    Preschool Observation

    Setting: I observed Anna, age four years and five months, on March 24, 2006, at St. Andrew's Lutheran Church Preschool. I observed for two and one-half hours from 9:15 am to 11:45 am. The preschool has three teachers and a full enrollment of 24 children, ages four and five, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. They also have 24 children, age three, on Tuesday and Thursday. On the Friday that I visited, there were 21 children in attendance. There is a large enclosed play area outside. There is a large covered sandbox area with several toys including large plastic scoops, a large metal spoon, plastic bowls, shovels and buckets, a large play structure with a slide and climbing apparatus, a log cabin play house with several tools; such as plastic hammers, wrenches, and saws. There is a big sidewalk that goes around the perimeter of the yard where the children ride the tricycles. There are six tricycles but they were not out for use on the day that I observed. Inside there are many areas for playing and learning. There is a small room that has a cradle, dolls, blankets, dress-up clothes and shoes for girls, child size furniture; table, sink, dishes, and other kitchen items. Also kept in this room is a large roll of paper that can be cut to any length for drawing and painting. In this room is where one of the teachers meets for story time with her group of eight children. The large room is divided into two parts for the other two teachers and their groups when it is story time. The accordion divider is opened when the individual group time is over. In the large room are many different activity stations; easel with two sides for drawing with markers and paints, a fish tank with several fish, papers and crayons, table with small wooden puzzles with numbers on the pieces, small hard rubber birds, owls, and pelicans, a table with a hard plastic surface that lights up, a table with rocks and a magnifying glass, a table with Legos, an area for wooden…

    Child Development

    In this paper I will describe a child observation that I have done at the Children’s Hospital Child Development Center for about five hours in a play setting. The child development center deals with children of various ages, from infant to school age. Unfortunately my student peer and I were not allowed to observe the infants, and were only allowed to observe toddlers to school age children. The setting of the CDC was more similar to a preschool than a day care. Children were grouped together and placed in a room specifically designed for them depending on their age and learning level. There were about two infant rooms, two toddler rooms, one preschool age room, and one school age room. In the rooms, there were books, toys, art supplies, and music instruments that are age appropriate for the children assigned. There were many staff members in the center, who each play an important role to the children. There were teachers, caretakers, a cook, a supervisor or director, a front desk clerk and volunteers. There were no specific preparation required in order to care for the children other than hand hygiene and appropriate manner. I will discuss the area of growth and development observed in each age group.…
