Alonso is three months and a week old, his weight is 17Ibs with 7oz his height is 26in. The infant has a round head, dark brown hair with dark brown Chinese eyes, and rosy cheeks with dimples when he smiles and has a light skin complexion. Alonso is wearing a dark blue cowboy jersey with a dark wash blue jeans and blue hi top converse. When I arrived his mother was putting him on his crib, as he is laying he moves his arm like if he was stretching and stares at the celling. He kicks and moves his hand towards his mouth; he sucks his hands for a while and drools. The infant gets his hands out of his mouth and tries to lift his head like if trying to get u; he attempts doing this three times and gives up. Alonso continues to suck his hand and kick, his mother passes next to his crib and he stares at her she starts talking to him and he responds with a “GUU” “GUU””GUU”. His mother lifts him up and lays him on his tummy he starts to paddle his little arms and kicks, also he tries to lift his head up and soon gets a little angry and starts to cry, his mother lifts him up and puts her finger next to his mouth and he tries to suck her finger. It is time for him to eat, Alonso kicks more and cries louder as his mom is getting ready to breast feed him. He opens his mouth and starts to suck on the nipple as he gags the milk he locates his left hand on his mother’s breast and closes his eye. As he is eating he gently calms his kicking and falls asleep, his mother continues to feed him for ten minutes and gently pulls her breast away from him Alonso gets startled and flings out his arms.

    I observed a child throwing a fit at the mall the other day. This child did not want to leave the store and did not want to get into her stroller. She started to throw her head back and scream very loudly. Then she would throw her arms around and kick, in an attempt to not be strapped in. The mother started to yell at her daughter to stop while trying to strap her in. After a few minutes of the child kicking and screaming she was able to strap her in. But the child continued to scream, this was when the mother decided to leave the mall. My recommendation is that instead of trying to force the child into the stroller the parent could have held the child. Trying her best to calm her down, since the child was throwing around her body while the…

    Although each child develops at their own rate, there are things or certain milestones that are to be expected when reaching a certain age. Between birth and 3 months old babies cannot understand what is happening to them. They do not understand that they are being cared for, and they do not even realise that they are people. They feel ‘happy’ when they feed but don’t fully understand what ‘happy’ is. As babies are not able to think, they will pick up on somebody’s feelings and mirror them. Although babies grow to exist by themselves, outside of their mother’s womb, most of their bodies are still very immature. As they don’t understand their environment, babies can become very distressed if they are given too much to see. From birth to 3 months, babies communicate with others by crying. This allows their carer to know when they are hungry, tired, etc. From birth, when a baby’s cheek is touched, they will turn their head towards the feeling. By six weeks…

    Tommy is sitting on the floor with his toys around him. His teacher sits on the floor next to him and he begins to hand his teacher a series of toys. He is interested in the reaction of his teacher as he hands her his blocks, one by one. Tommy leans forward, grabs a block and hands it to his teacher. He watches her face and sort of drops his mouth open as he waits for her reaction. She then tells him the letter and color on the block. He nods his head forward and then reaches for another block and proceeds to pick up another block. After picking up 5 blocks and handing them to his teacher he then crawls across the floor to a toy car and pushes it for a moment. He looks up at his teacher to see what she is doing and pushes the car toward her. He smiles at her and she smiles back and says “Is that your car?” he smiles again and nods his head forward. Tommy is very interested in his teacher’s reaction to him. She continues to watch him even when he is interested in a toy or moving away from her. He does check to see if she is pay attention to him as he plays. His teacher starts picking up toys and organizing the room and he periodically goes over to her and becomes interested in what she is doing. Tommy seems very dependent on his teachers mood. He smiles when she smiles and if she is distracted he wants to obtain her attention and seems to gauge and react to her facial expressions. It seems that their relationship is positive and his teacher is very…

    On November 6th, I observed a four year-old boy at the UCI Early Childhood Education Center. My observation starts at 4:10pm, and it lasts for thirty minutes. At the time I did the observation, all of the children woke up from the nap time and started to play outside of the classroom. The playground is at least seventy-five square feet, and it has many play stations for children. Three classrooms share the same outside playground, and the age groups of those children are from three years old to five years old. All of the children could access to the outside playground through the back door in their classrooms. From the left side of the playground, there is a basketball stand next to the tree, then moving toward to the right, there is a lawn in the central of the playground. On the grass, there is a big…

    I am observing a male who is a one year old. I am observing him during a volleyball match because he is our coach’s son. The environment is a gym filled of a lot of unknown people to him such as our volleyball team and we were all surrounded by him, at first he seemed to cling closer to his dad because he almost seemed shy around us. He just sat beside his dad’s foot and almost had a confused look as if he was thinking who are all of these people? He then began holding onto the chair and pulled himself up until he was standing. Of course we thought this was so cute so we all clapped for him and he started to smile. It then seemed as if he had warmed up to all of these strangers.…

    My infant observation, Christopher Myles Honeycutt, born January 21st, 2014. At 9:45am I arrived at Chris' home, which he was just waking up and getting his diaper changed. By 10am Chris was in his bouncy chair, while his parents made him and his brother breakfast. By 10:15am his father was feeding him cinnamon apple oatmeal, which he seemed to enjoy it because he ate 8oz of it in 15 minutes, but because he kept grabbing at his spoon he ended up with an ounce or two on him. (Feeding time is a good example of Erikson's Trust vs. Mistrust stage, because Chris' is trusting his father to feed him.) At 10:30 the mother prepares a bath for him, as she bathes him he smiles, kicks up water, laughs, and claps. (These are all signs of good sensorimotor.) By 11am he was bathed, powdered, dressed and put in his play area. Chis only sits in his play area before he starts getting fussy and begins yelling and babbling then precedes to get up and uses the couch to walk. (Which is a little early for him to walk according to a national average which is nine months). As Chris kept trying to leave his area, his parents would put him right back in his play area. (This learning process is called Operant Conditioning). And though Chris was getting really frustrated with his parents, he still continued to do it until about 11:45am, which was the time his dad came over to change his diaper. At 11:50am Chris and his father began to play and as his father tickled and played with Chris he showed great signs of social responses, like baby babbling, and laughing, and being shocked by his father hiding behind the couch and popping back up. (This shows me, he has normal brain development because he understand what’s going on and has reactions to actions around him.) After about an hour of playing Chris begins to get really upset, he was screaming, crying, and began chewing on his hands. So immediately his father put a binky in his mouth which he spits out and continues crying, a minute later…

    There was a set group of four females that included the mother chimpanzee that stayed very close together, the mother was constantly paired with one other female who a docent informed me was her own daughter. This group of four surrounded mom on occasion when wind picked up as it was raining and cold the day I went and would take turns holding the infant for mom, the daughter of the current mother sat next to her at all times and occasionally held the infants hand or covered its head from the rain with her arm. This group was very protective over the infant as the other two who were not part of the related family group were not allowed near the infant , two females would chase them off if they got to close to mom or whoever was carrying the infant at the time and smack the ground . The infant itself had gestures very similar to human children, when it was with another chimpanzee for a long period of time it would stretch its arms out in the direction of its mother and pulse its hands in and out of a fist to get her attention and continue to do this till she came and picked it up. When the mother was not mobile and it as perched against her chest it would fidget and pound on her chest or explore its moms face with its hands. The…
