childs case study
Introduction:
In my case study I choose a 23 month old boy named Christopher. He has brown eyes, black hair and has almond colored skin. According to the daycare center Christopher lives with mom, dad and two older sisters. The teacher states that Christopher spends approximately 10 hours in day care from Monday through Friday. He is place in a class room environment were the teacher lets him play, eat, and learn new things. When I was in the daycare getting ready to pick a child, little Christopher came up to me and gave me a hug. That stood out to me and that is the reason why I picked this child. The director from the daycare shared that Christopher’s mom attends college and his dad works in a bike shop near the center. She said that the parents are receiving help from the government to help with the financial aspect of day care. In Berk pg.72 it states that in this kind of situation the family category falls under a low social status.
Physical and motor:
According to the latest physical l(provided by the daycare) it stats that he weight is 28 pounds and his height is 36 inches. According to Berk pg 162 by the age of 2 the child is 75% greater than at birth (36 inches) and that his weight quadruples to about 30 pounds. Which means the he is a healthy 23 month old child. When lunch time comes around I notice that Christopher ate all of the food that was placed on his plate. I asked the teacher what he usually eats and she said everything except green beans. She thinks that he eats all of the food because they give out cookies when they eat their food. When Christopher finish eating the first thing that he said was “coookiee”. I was shown picture of Christopher when he was born until now. I notice that he lost all of his baby fat and is a typical slim down toddler according to Berk pg. 162.
Cognitive:
As I watched the teacher interact with Christopher I notice that she showed him a banana and said “yellow banana”. The child repeated several
