Boy Observation
I have observed a boy who is about 2 years old or maybe few months younger who was interacting with his father in the park. The child was riding the toddler swing and asks his father to push harder and said, "hiyer, dabby! hiyer!" (higher, daddy! higher) He kept asking his father to push harder for about 30 seconds, then I could realized he became bored. He raised his both arms toward his father, signaling he wants to get down. The father stopped the swing and pulled him out of the toddler swings.

After the little boy got out of the swing then pointed at the jungle gym to draw attention to his father and said, " dabby, look!" (daddy, look!) Then the little boy started to climbing up the ladder and when his father advised him to 'grab the yellow bar', so he can support himself to reach the top. The boy repeated what his father said, "Gwab da lello bah." while reaching his arms to the yellow bars. the boy finally got himself inside the jungle gyms and he travelled here and there. He screamed, "I go to bwidge!" and ran to the built-in bridge.

At this time, his big brother joined to play. He seemed fascinated when he came across the

The boy seemed to understand when his father asked him a question like, "Would you like to try this one?" but he didn't answer but approaches to the attraction that his father suggested. He didn't speak a lot during my 30 minutes observation. However, his pronunciation of words was not good but somewhat understandable. He had hard time pronouncing /r/ sounds, but replacing it with /w/, and /y/ for /l/. And I found interesting that he couldn't say 'daddy' correctly. Also, he was omitting the end of the words, like when he said, "bah-" instead of "bars". He did not use many words to make a sentence and he made grammar errors, like when he said "I first" instead of 'I want to go first' or 'me

    The boy tended to focus much of his attention on the “jungle gym “equipment. This particular apparatus offered many types of activities, slides, rope swings, monkey bars, which this particular child seemed especially skilled in, also various ladders of different shapes and moving in multiple directions. I can assure you this was not the park toys of my younger days. The equipment at this park seemed well designed offering the children many different opportunities to discover any hidden acrobatic skills that they may be…

    The following things would cause concern about a child or young person’s development. If the problem was left untreated then things could get worse, and a delay in treatment could mean that the outcome is not as good as it would have been if treatment was started earlier.1. Speech / Language.If a child or young person does not talk to anyone or even only speaks a few words compared to others, this may cause concern. This would socially affect the child or young person’s because they would find it hard to make friends, work in groups or even interact with adults. It would also affect their communicational development because they would find it hard to speak to people and also may find it hard to listen to instructions etc. Early intervention would be the best way to respond to this concern, the first step would be to…

    I decided to do my qualitative paper on “How involved are fathers in interacting with their children” I went to the local mall on a Sunday, knowing that families are more likely to take a trip here on a weekend oppose to weekdays as parents may be at work and children may be home or at school. The setting I choose for this study was the build-a-bear workshop store. Build a bear workshop is very popular toy customization store, located in the local mall. This store is always busy with lots of children and their parents having fun building bears or simply purchasing toys. I walked into the store and started to walk around for a bit to get a feel for the setting and observe the people in the store. My criteria for this study:…

    On November 13, 2014 at Grossmont College’s Child Development Center, I observed Konnor who was born on March 11, 2011. At the center, there are roughly around 15 children between the ages of three and five; there is one adult for every six or so kids. The preschool center’s indoor environment is safely secured with a locked gate that separates the outside door which leads to the younger children centers and parking lot with the hallway to the learning and play area. There are two separate rooms, but they both have screen doors that lead to the same play area outside. The room on the left, which Konnor is placed in, was smaller than the room on the right but they both had similar types of equipment and activities that children could join in on together. Both rooms were decorated with the colorful artwork of the preschool children, several tables and chairs were surrounding the indoor area, and there was an activity awaiting for kids in every corner; not one child was left with nothing to do. The outdoor environment is secured with a tall fence surrounding the outside area, along with a locked gate. The outdoors have many activities that encourage the kids to interact with one another. There are bicycles, a painting station, a mini-garden, a playground equipped with slides, a playhouse, large plastic blocks, and even a small stage for children to perform in dramatic play. The indoor and outdoor environment is secure for the children and encourages the children to interact with each other and play as well as learn. Tantrums were thrown, children disobeyed orders, but, the adults handled every situation presented with a calm voice and they let the children know why their action was wrong and what they can do to fix it. For example, Konnor threw a fit because there was no bicycle available for him to use, a teacher came by his side and leaned down to his…
