Interestingly, few parents notice that that their young children are becoming overweight or underweight and often don’t realize it because of the way they think about how cuddly their child are. Parents of children over 3 years old need to realise that children should begin to look quite slim and by the age of 4 years the healthy profile of children is that they should look lean.

    During the play session Kassandra’s attention is unfocused and she became easily distracted at times by the people in the room. She would look for her parents and say “mama” or “daddy” quite often, which distracted her from her play. She plays ball with the person in the room. She is unfamiliar with the swing; therefore, she sits on the swing showing no emotion to the motion occurring from the swing. Kassandra knows how to properly kiss the doll and how to hold the baby bottle. Although she knows how to hold the baby bottle, she does not know how to feed the bottle to the baby doll. She did know how to hold the phone and say “hi”. Cassandra knew how to walk with help, but mostly scooted around on her bottom. She did not sing or dance when asked.…

    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…

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.

    Obiel Macedo, a one year and seven month old infant accomplished many tasks on the developmental checklist. I went to his house, his mother and baby sister were present while I was with him. As we sat down on the floor I handed the infant a small container filled with different size blocks. He immediately grabbed the container, poured out the blocks and began to build a tower quickly. 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.…
