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.

    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…

That was a minute long. He then was playing with the phone again. This went on for two minutes He then went and played with a ping pong ball and pulled it on a wooden block wagon. The ball fell off by the student teacher and she hid it from him. This showed object permanence. He knew it was already there even though he could not see it. This happened for five minutes. He then went and played with a container that held toys but empty, he put it on his head and was laughing. This was two minutes long.

(gross motor skills) While waiting, she was standing very close to the other child in front of her. With the assistance of a teacher, Athena washed her hands and pulled out a paper towel from the dispenser. When she was done drying her hands, she walked over to an area with a lot of toys.

    Toddler Child Observation

    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.…

    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…

    Observation Of The Toddler Environment

    Upon entering the toddler environment, the first thing that I noticed was the classroom atmosphere, which was calm and yet full of educational opportunities for a variety of students. The shelves and materials were organized in sequential order, the shelves were exposed so that materials were easily accessed. If the parents came into the classroom they would be able to see every material their child may be working with. The shelves were also not cluttered but materials were spread out so they could be seen and accessed easily by the toddler.…

Once he was done creating the tower of blocks, a few seconds later he knocked it down vigorously and started all over again. Then, I handed him a red crayon and a blank sheet of paper, but instead of writing on the paper he went up to the wall and scribbled spontaneously.…
