    Examples Of A Developmental Observation Paper On Dilan Meeks

    The average child grows 2 ½ inches in height and gains between 5 and 7 pounds a year during early childhood. Some of the brain’s growth in early childhood is due to an increase in the number and size of dendrites, some to myelination, and the most rapid growth occurs in the frontal lobes. The gross motor skills of a five year old is steadily improving. Children are more adventurous, they run hard and enjoy races with each other and their parents. It is not…

    Observation of a Toddler (Lifespan)

    2. Harper’s gross motor skills are normative. She is able to walk, squat and run with ease. She can go up and down stairs one at a time all by herself and according to her mother she is “reasonably bowel trained” although she has nighttime accidents. Harper’s fine motor skills are also normative. She can throw a ball overhand, handle a spoon well, turns pages in her book and washes her hands. The skills Harper has are normative because they are in sync with other toddlers her age. Our book states “By 18-24 months, toddlers can walk quickly or run stiffly for short distance, walk backward without losing their balance, stand and kick a ball without falling, stand and throw a ball and jump in place”(Santrock, 2011, p. 129).…

    Toddler Observation Paper

    Isabella puts one foot on the ground, then the other foot and walks directly where the toys are lying. Based on her reaction it appears she has developed her gross motor skills. According to chapter 5, gross motor skills is defined as ¨physical abilities involving large body movements, such as walking and jumping¨ (Chapter 5 146). 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).…

    ECE 354 Assessment And Intervention During Early Childhood

    Just like Ryan Weaver’s checklist Trevor’s includes Movement and hand and finger abilities, cognitive development, language milestones and social and emotional abilities. The checklist consists of developmental skills and abilities that are congruent with milestones that are expected to take place between the ages of eight months and one year of age. However there are developmental milestones that are included on the checklist that happen during a very specific age span such as from ten to twelve months or from eight to ten months in particular. All age periods fall under the checklist age range and are included to specify specific skills that are projected to take place at certain ages. In the Movement milestones section, physical aptitude and abilities were observed. The developmental milestones observed included the infant’s ability to perform corporeal abilities that occur as the infant matures form month to month. Capabilities such as sitting up independently, crawling on his belly, propping himself up on his hands and knees and crawling on hands and knees are all skills that a baby has to perform in order to gain strength, balance and the ability to walk and toddle. Movement milestones for infants aged ten to twelve months include transitioning himself from crawling to lying down, leveraging himself and pulling himself to a standing position from a sitting one. The child also gains the capacity…

    Ncfe Level 2 Support in Schools Assignment 1

    At 0-12 months, a child’s social development includes making sounds to communicate whether crying or babbling and responding positively to family members and familiar people. Communication development follows a similar path. A child will recognise familiar voices, respond with smiles and start to imitate others. Physical development is rapid. A child will develop control of their head, learn to grasp objects, later use a pincer grasp and start to gain control of their body to enable them to sit unaided and eventually crawl. Young people of this age range are very egocentric. They begin to process information through images and commence to become aware of object permanence. Emotionally, a child at this age has a very strong bond with its parents, particularly the mother. They require reassurance and security and become upset when others are angry.…

    Alligning Theorists with Foundations of Early Child Development

    When referring to physical and health development from the start, babies want to explore their world. They are eager to move their eyes, their mouths, and their bodies toward the people and objects that comfort and interest them. They practice skills that let them not only move closer to desired objects, but also move desired objects closer to themselves. As they grow, children's determination to master movement, balance, and fine-motor skills remains intense.…

    Eymp 2 1.1

    The physical development of babies and young children must be encouraged through the provision of opportunities for them to be active and interactive and to improve their skills of coordination, control, manipulation and movement. They must be supported in using all of their senses to learn about the world around them and to make connections between new information and what they already know. They must be supported in developing an understanding of the importance of physical activity and making healthy choices in relation to food. A child’s physical development may have an impact on their self-confidence as they grow older, if a child is unhappy with their appearance e.g. young girls may feel their friends are physically developing at a faster rate to what they are, this may affect their social development and maybe even intellectual, when a child loses self-confidence they may become distracted in lessons and therefore fall behind in their school work. On the other hand if a child or young person is…

    Child Development: Scaffolding

    Choosing a child to interact with is a complicated process; however I have decided that my niece, Paige, with whom I spend a comfortable amount of time is a great candidate for this assignment. She is at ease in my presence and I can accurately assess her developmental level without too much bias. At two years old, Paige is in Piaget’s preoperational stage of development, which is characterized by the ability to use symbols and language to “represent objects in the environment.” Piaget’s four stages of cognitive development include the abilities: “visual acuity, hand-eye coordination, planning ahead, and caution.” Developmentally, Paige is not exceptionally advanced in the preoperational stage, as her language skills are not fully developed. However, what she lacks in language, she makes up for in her use of gross and fine motor skills, hand symbols, baby gibberish, and her ability to take directions even though she is not extremely verbal in her responses. Paige has great control over her larger muscle groups: she often hits and kicks rubber balls and stands on her hand in a headstand. Exhibited fine motor skills, she can also paint her finger and toenails quite nicely. She uses hand gestures and baby gibberish with a few coherent words to communicate with others, and demonstrates her listening skills by her uncanny ability to follow fairly complex directions. For these reasons, I believe Vgotsky’s Zone of Proximal development is helpful for analyzing Paige’s abilities. Because of her use of non-verbal expression to communicate, she would not be able to do every activity on her own, especially activities necessitating symbiotic verbal communication. Therefore, in the Zone of Proximal development, Paige can do much more with guidance.…
