    As mentioned earlier children and young people progress through certain milestones as they develop, it is important that these are monitored to enable plans to be put into place to encourage and support them, should they need it. There are many ways of monitoring and assessing development throughout childhood but a child’s parent or carer must first give permission. One of the most widely used methods of monitoring development is through observation, especially in younger years where the Early Years Foundation Stage is followed. Observations should be accurate so as not to hinder a child’s development and ensure the child fulfils his or her full potential. Practitioners should liaise with parents and carers and compare how the child behaves at home and in the setting.…

    While sitting in my daughter’s room in our home, I observed her play with her three baby dolls and her kitchen set which is against her wall by her princess vanity.

I then asked several questions as I observed her playing with her toys. I asked her what did she have on, she stated “I am a chef mommy, this is my cooking clothes.” I then start watching how she pretend to conversant with the dolls, and she tells me that they are her children.
