Summary: Child Observation
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

    Shaken Baby Syndrome Research Paper

    Taking care of an infant is beyond the shadow of any doubt a very demanding task and it is especially challenging for parents who are first-timers. However, this is by no means a justification for taking out frustrations on children. In order to prevent abuse, parents are encouraged to never attempt disciplining a child when they themselves are upset. It is completely fine to stop, take a very deep breath and wait for a few seconds before responding to whatever the child may have done.…

    Spanking Research Paper

    Picture this scenario, you and your three year old daughter are walking through Wal-Mart. She spots a toy that she really wants. Your daughter asks if you’ll buy if for her. Now, you’re on a budget. You have only enough money to purchase the items you absolutely need. You tell her no. This is when all hell breaks loose. She starts kicking and screaming. Your daughter rolls on the floor crying and shouting that she wants it. What do you do? In today’s society the only socially acceptable response you may have, especially in public, is to pull her aside, and give her a stern talk. Discuss with her why she can’t have the toy. Explain in terms she can understand, why it is wrong to throw a temper tantrum. Now, when I was little, if I threw a tantrum in the store my mother would pull me aside, and whoop me. She would tell me that she said no, and that’s final. How has our society evolved to the point where properly disciplining your child is wrong?…

    Childhood Observation Report

    The three year olds gross motor skills, which are related to active play, consisted of throwing a large ball and running at a long distance to catch it, jumping up and down, climbing up the slide and jungle gym with ease and quickly. There was constant movement with the child in all the 45 minutes that I observed her and her level of activity was very high. It was hard to catch her at moment of stillness, and even then he would be fidgeting under the table or in her seat. Her fine motor skill included, using crayons and coloring a picture, and even though most of it was scribbles(which at this age they tend to do), she was able to remain inside the coloring picture outline. At many points through the day, I caught her zipping up and down her…

    Middle Childhood Observation Paper

    I observed an 11 year old male. His interactions with his friends were at first artificial and he paid more attention to me observing him and writing than his friends. However after 10-15 minutes I was forgotten, and he was fully engaged with other boys his age. They stayed in a group and played mostly with the same sex. A few adolescent girls came and the group of boys stopped playing their basketball game and conversed with the girls for a few moments and went back to playing their game. I found that interesting that with the girls there this age group is still more interested in playing than socializing. About 30 minutes into the game and they began playing games on their cell phones(which they all had?!?). From observing this stage of adolescence I can still see alot of the middle childhood stage.…

    When Discipline Is Considered Child Abuse

    This is when the parent needs to step away, take a deep breath and calm down. This is very difficult for a parent to do, especially when the child is deliberately mean and defiant. If the child’s behavior persists then the parent should consult with their primary care physician on finding therapy for the child. Parents don’t want to do anything or say anything to their child that will cause their child to have low self confidence, or do anything that will hurt their child to where their child fears them. When a child’s behavior can’t be corrected with positive disciplinary methods, before the discipline turns to a form of child abuse due to the parent’s anger and frustration; the parent should consult with the child’s physician. The child’s physician can assist the parent with finding other solutions like behavioral therapy for the…

    Child Observation Report

    According to Piaget Cognitive Development Theory (Berk, 2003, p.133), this child is in the preoperational stage (2-7 years), and he behaves normally. When the father left he was upset. His mother asked him to sit still in one of the chairs. He was lying in an arm chair, moving his legs up and down. Then he put his feet on the armrest of the chair next to him, where his sister was sitting. He repeated this behavior several times in attempt to hit his sister. That made his mother tell him off. However, he still didn't respond. Then he put his head on the seat and lifted his feet on the back of the chair, and he started to stomp his feet. He then tried to get down to the floor head first. His mother told him to stop, but he didn't, so she sent one of his elder sisters to pick him up and put him in the chair in the right way. He repeated the same behavior and again his mother failed to make him stop, so she sent the other sister to pick him up. This time his mother warned him not to repeat that, so he stayed in his chair for a few minutes without doing anything. As we noticed he didn't respond to her in the first time, but later when she warned him he responded by behaving for a few minutes only. Children at this age cannot stay for a long time without moving or doing something. Parents and/or care givers can keep them busy by telling stories, playing with them or maybe by providing any kind of toys to assure that they are not bored. When they do not have any thing to do they will try to attract the adults' attention by doing such…
