Summary Of Early Childhood Observation

I work at a Saturday and Sunday religion school. There I work with children from ages five to seventeen. I took the opportunity to observe the oldest child in the school. Her name is Hanan, and is a junior in high school. I’ve been teaching at this school for about a year. Even though I have been around Hanan for a significant amount of time, I didn’t start looking closely into her actions until I started to observe her for this project. Hanan is a very fascinating teen with a very powerful worldview. I remember one day we were reading a book that stated “ When the prophet Muhammad took his journey, he saw a lot of women burning in hell, and the reason was that women were disobedient and ungrateful to their husbands” I saw all the other females
One thing I have observe about her is she think someone is always watching her. She often tells me the other teachers don’t like her and how she feels like they are always trying to get her in trouble. She think everyone cares about what outfit she’s wearing, or what she may be having for lunch. This reminded me of imaginary audience that takes place during cognitive development of adolescent.
“The growth of social thinkinking is generally referred to as “social cognition” during adolescence is directly related to the young person’s improving ability to think abstractly.” (Steinberg p. 58) Hanan’s social cognition is pretty solid. She always points out things that doesn't make sense to her, she is very inquisitive. Hanan’s is very selective with her attention. She only pay attentions to think that resonate with her. Other days she’s drowns in her cell phone and doesn't cooperate at all.
Psychosocial
At this point in time, the adolescent more excited, and start experimenting with different ideas. These experiments play an important role in helping adolescent find their true identity. Help them with what groups or cliques to be involved in and opposite sex. During this time, adolescent also struggle with his/her own set of values compared to what is established by parents and any adult figures. It is also this time that adolescent begins to take control of educational, and social advantages. They starts to find a way to belong in
