Little Man M Childhood Observation Report
Little Man M is a four-year-old African American little boy who lives with his mother, father, and baby sister in a small community. His mother is a teller at a bank and his father works at a heating/air company. Their home is located besides his grandparent’s house. He loves to read, he’s very protective of his baby sister, and he loves playing with his classmates whether it’s indoors or outdoors. This observation was conducted at Little Man M childcare center. Physical Development
Little Man M progresses naturally through all three of the stages. He weighs about 43pounds and is about 35inches tall. Most of his growing occurred, during his toddler years. He can count his numbers from 1-10, he can run, hop, and throw a ball. I have seen many times where Little Man M throws a ball to his classmate Little T, run back in forth in the play area, and hop up and down. I have also seen him count his numbers from 1-10 when the teacher asks him to. On the other hand, he still needs to work on some of his words.

While observing him I have seen him focusing on various activities at different times. Little Man M can sort objects by color, he can name his colors, and he can demonstrate his ear, foot, and fingers are located. He is growing cognitively a little more each and every day and is on his way to achieving all of the key

    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…

    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.…

    On Wednesday July 2nd, 2014 I visited Wiley Mildred Family Day care center to observe a group of children that I have never met at a house I have never been to. Throughout my hour that I spent at Wiley Mildred I observed a group of children interacting with each other as well as the caregivers as they were having their outside privileges. As I conducted my observation I studied children’s actions and noticed the practicing of the Sociocultural Theory, the Social Learning Theory, the Cognitive Theory, and the Psychoanalytic Theory. All these theories were able to be observed through actions this is due to their environment around them and the activities they were engaged in. The observation taught me how significant an action can be for a developing child and how important it is for a child in a care center to be mentally and physically stimulated.…

    I set up an appointment with the Kids Club daycare at 9:45 am on November 4th to observe for an hour of toddler classroom who were between three and four years old. The principle gave me a warm greeting and took me to the class and introduced me to the teachers and the children. Everyone there made me feel welcomed. I chose a place where I can sit, observe and write my note as well as to be away from children's sight. In the classroom there were five boys, two girls, and two teachers Ms. Nadia and Ms. Emma. The classroom itself was large and spacious. The classroom is very appropriate for children this age and it has many interesting areas such as a blocks and art area, and children taped some of their previous work in the art area.
