    PLAYWORK – WORKING WITH CHILDREN

    2 . Explain the importance of observing and analysing children’s and young people’s play. Through observing a child, it helps you to understand and be aware of the child’s interests and levels of capability as well as engaging and stimulating program curriculum. Every practitioner should analyse observations they make of children so they can identify strengths and weaknesses and how far the child has developed. By doing this, practitioners can see where a child requires support and can plan out activities to further develop a child’s needs and are able to make relevant referrals if external support is needed. Observing is also known as a fundamental part of the EYFS, where practitioners are expected to observe children and make notes which helps to keep a record of each child’s progress through the EYFS and enables practioners to plan ahead on areas of learning that need to be more focused upon.…

    Childhood Observation

    I decided to do my qualitative paper on “How involved are fathers in interacting with their children” I went to the local mall on a Sunday, knowing that families are more likely to take a trip here on a weekend oppose to weekdays as parents may be at work and children may be home or at school. The setting I choose for this study was the build-a-bear workshop store. Build a bear workshop is very popular toy customization store, located in the local mall. This store is always busy with lots of children and their parents having fun building bears or simply purchasing toys. I walked into the store and started to walk around for a bit to get a feel for the setting and observe the people in the store. My criteria for this study:…

    Pre-K Child Observation

    A regular day in the Pre-K classroom begins with the children having free play, in any area of the class. This morning, some children played in the kitchen area, where four boys dressed up as construction workers or fighter fighters, while pretending to have breakfast. Others played in the block area with dinosaur figures, while others were either doing art on the tables, or were playing with magnetic blocks in the circle time area. Today, the children seem rowdy, as they ran and screamed across the class. Mrs. M would get their attention and say, “Use your inside voices, please” or “I need you to calm your body”. During check in, children get dropped off at random times, some children seem excited while others seem upset. There was one occasion,…

    Twenty-Five Child Observations

    Having to just observe everything around you then go back and write the notes was not easy. You can miss small details that had happened and those could be important to know. Having to also watch five children made it harder because you are constantly trying to watch all the children when they are all around the room. It showed how teachers should be a good observer because we were only watching five children and they could be watching twenty-five kids. I used some subjective language when writing my observations but, I had a control of it and my observations wasn’t all subjective, most was objective just stating what the child did. For example, I said in my observation, “Child 4 sat at lunch with a group and was goofy.” This is subjective…

    Eyewitnesses In Children

    Eyewitnesses tend to have a tremendous impact when it comes to identifying and convicting a perpetrator. However, what happens when the only eyewitness is a child? Children are thought to be particularly unreliable, especially in the criminal justice system, and regardless of this, jurors still tend to place a lot of confidence in them (Lowenstein, Blank, & Sauer, 2010). Children's abilities to be reliable eyewitnesses has been a subject of interest over the past few years, and whether or not they are competent when it comes to their accuracy in what could potentially end in a false accusation. Sometimes an eyewitness can be the main form of evidence, so, it is important that if a child is identifying a suspect, that they can correctly identify…

    Examples Of Child Observation

    My family and I were at Joe’s Crab Shack in Round Rock and we were eating outside next to the playground. A family of 3 (Mother and 2 sons) were sitting about three tables away when all of a sudden I heard an outburst of crying and screaming. As I watched and paid closer attention to their conversation, I noticed that the child was crying because his mother would not let him play in the sand-filled playground until he had finished eating his food which he had not yet touched. The child would beg his mother and said “please mommy, I wanna go!” and she would say “No! You have to eat!” When his attempts at asking “nicely” failed he then started screaming bloody murder at the top of his lungs. His mother shushed him and told him that he would be able to play if he would be quiet…

    This time, I decided to observe children between the ages of five and six in a kindergarten class room at Maddock Public School. Maddock is a smaller school and there were only five children in the class, all of them were boys. I knew this would be an interesting day, because we learned in class that boys tend to be a little bit more active and disobedient, but I was definitely looking forward to it.…

    Observation Of Child Development

    Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to observe Ann much in this section because I could not be at her house in the morning when she woke up, and at night when she went to bed. As a result, most of the information I received on this section came directly from her family. While I was there on Friday, Ann’s family gave me permission to stay during dinner time so I could see her behavior and mannerisms at the dinner table. It seemed as if she had proper manners because she was chewing with her mouth closed and she waited to speak until she swallowed her food. She used her utensils properly, cutting each piece of food into proportionate size bites. Although the textbook does not have any milestone sections for self-help, and the internet…

    Observation Of Child Psychology

    What is new with the observation is that the target child, family and I are all connected. The family says they have noticed that he is trying to talk more and his behavior has changed for the better because he now seems to love coming to school. He actually runs into the class some days with the biggest smile on his face ready to do something. The other days he may come in a little down but he walks straight to me asking for a hug, we talk about how he is feeling and I assure him that he will have fun learning that day. He then cheers up and waves bye to mommy and join his friends on the rug. I no longer feel nervous about what the teacher may think nor how the parents may perceive me being around their children (because I'm a stranger). The…
