I observed two four year old boys in a vacant preschool classroom on a Sunday morning while their parents were in a meeting. By observing two boys approximately the same age‚ I was able to compare their developmental differences and see how they interacted and played together.

As an early childhood educator I understand that each child’s development depends on age‚ maturity‚ and experience. For instance‚ a child’s rate of maturity may be different due to that child’s life experience. California Department
