Alonso is three months and a week old, his weight is 17Ibs with 7oz his height is 26in. The infant has a round head, dark brown hair with dark brown Chinese eyes, and rosy cheeks with dimples when he smiles and has a light skin complexion. Alonso is wearing a dark blue cowboy jersey with a dark wash blue jeans and blue hi top converse. When I arrived his mother was putting him on his crib, as he is laying he moves his arm like if he was stretching and stares at the celling. He kicks and moves his hand towards his mouth; he sucks his hands for a while and drools. The infant gets his hands out of his mouth and tries to lift his head like if trying to get u; he attempts doing this three times and gives up. Alonso continues to suck his hand and kick, his mother passes next to his crib and he stares at her she starts talking to him and he responds with a “GUU” “GUU””GUU”. His mother lifts him up and lays him on his tummy he starts to paddle his little arms and kicks, also he tries to lift his head up and soon gets a little angry and starts to cry, his mother lifts him up and puts her finger next to his mouth and he tries to suck her finger. It is time for him to eat, Alonso kicks more and cries louder as his mom is getting ready to breast feed him. He opens his mouth and starts to suck on the nipple as he gags the milk he locates his left hand on his mother’s breast and closes his eye. As he is eating he gently calms his kicking and falls asleep, his mother continues to feed him for ten minutes and gently pulls her breast away from him Alonso gets startled and flings out his arms.

    On November 6th, I observed a four year-old boy at the UCI Early Childhood Education Center. My observation starts at 4:10pm, and it lasts for thirty minutes. At the time I did the observation, all of the children woke up from the nap time and started to play outside of the classroom. The playground is at least seventy-five square feet, and it has many play stations for children. Three classrooms share the same outside playground, and the age groups of those children are from three years old to five years old. All of the children could access to the outside playground through the back door in their classrooms. From the left side of the playground, there is a basketball stand next to the tree, then moving toward to the right, there is a lawn in the central of the playground. On the grass, there is a big…

    I observed a classroom of four-year-old students who are enrolled at the Child Development Center on the George Mason University campus. This observation lasted about fifteen minutes with a total of twelve students in the classroom. At the time of my observation the students were engaging in free playtime where they are allowed to play games, make crafts, and interact with their fellow classmates. I was seated in the corner of the classroom where the children could not easily see me or get distracted by me. I stayed seated throughout the whole observation so the students would not be affected by my presence. Many different activities were happening at the same time, but a couple standout situations reminded me of many subject areas we focused on in class. One particular observation was the various styles of play the students were engaging in. About half of the students were engaging in constructive play while the others were engaging in dramatic play. Constructive play is characterized by the act of creating or constructing something while dramatic, or make-believe play, is characterized by acting out everyday and imaginary roles (Berk, 2010, p262). The two play styles are very common in children around the age of four.…

    In an evening spent at a local park, I observed two toddlers playing on the playground. Both toddlers were about the same size and height, and they were seemingly about two years of age. These two children stood out to me because though they seemed about the same age, their behavior on the playground was very different. As I observed, both subtle and large differences began to make themselves apparent.…

She was sitting in her high chair next to her mother, the mother was sitting at the table with a plate of food eating and socializing with other adults at the table. The mother and infant were both eating, when the mother finished her food and decided to get up to get more. As she walked away from the table the infant began to make grunting noises and whimper while reaching her hands towards her mother. The other adults tried to comfort her but she was persistent in reaching and crying out for her mother. Upon returning the mother looked at her infant, brushed her hand against the side of her face, and said, “It’s okay, I’m back mija.” The infant settled down and her mother fed her some more food.

Based on her reaction it appears she has developed her gross motor skills.

According to table 5.1, walk well appears at around 13 to 15 months. Based on this information, Isabella at 20 months of age, would be within the age range for development and therefore within the norm for her age (Adolph et al. 148).…

    Introduction The male child W was observed four times, over the course of two weeks, totaling four hours. He was placed in a classroom designated for 2-year-olds along with about 12 other children, staffed by two full-time teachers, and a part-time teacher. The classroom was a very loud, and over decorated environment. Not only were the walls completely covered with posters and pictures, but there were art projects hanging from the ceiling as well. The classroom was divided into specific areas for play, eating, and story time; however, there was not enough room for the children to freely run around. The children spent time outside on the playground in the backyard that had picnic tables, toy houses, trucks, cars, swings, and many other toys. The 2-year-olds shared their outdoor time with infants that were pushed around in a large stroller. When the children were brought outside there were a total of 4 teachers outside supervising them.…

    Child Observation I recently observed a "child" involved in two different types of activities, at different times of the day. The first activity was "Teacher-Initiated", and the second "Child-Initiated". The purpose of this observation is to compare and contrast the child's development and behavior between the two different contexts. Through observation I found that although both activities were rich in challenge and learning opportunity, the child's behavior is different, but demonstrates age appropriate development.…
