During this developmental interview, I chose to conduct an observation/interview study with my one of my cousin’s child. This child is a 4 year old girl and will be identified as “child K” in relation to her first name. Her parents had no problem letting me interview her, but I had them stay in the same room as us. The purpose of this interview was to observe the child’s physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development. I observed her behavior and gave her several tests to show how well she has progressed. The first part of the study involved observing child K’s motor and fine motor skills in her home. First, I would observe her motor skills. To get her more excited, I decided to play with her and her sister. At 4 years of age, child K should be enjoying the movements of hopping, jumping, and running while be more adventurous than they were at 3 years of age (Santrock, pg. 158, 2012). Obviously, at age 4, she has already learned how to walk and run on her own. She was very active in active in her activities. She loved running around when we were playing tag. During tag, she tried running away from me in adventurous methods such as climbing or jumping over the …show more content…
She has shown positive results in physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development. Her motor and fine motor skills are developing properly, her cognitive mind is at the preoperational stage common for children her age, and she has shown to be comfortable with separation and emotions. On a personal note, I really enjoyed this time to play and learn about child K. From my experience with child K, I learned that how accurate growth development concepts can be. It’s like we have figured out the algorithm of how humans develop. It’s likely that child K’s current attitude is the result of her experiences growing up and the care her parents have given her, but only time will tell if her development continues to be healthy as she grows
She is in no obvious distress. Mental Status She is oriented x3, alert and cooperative. Good short-term, long-term and intermediate memory. No aphasia.
. Describe the growth and developmental tasks that were displayed by the child you interacted with in this setting (Erikson, Piaget and Freud). Were these tasks age appropriate? Did you assess any developmental challenges in the client that you interacted with? How were they dealt with (by you and by the health care team)?
Statements made about a child that are inaccurate can lead to harming the child’s development, especially if it can lead to adults underestimating a child’s potential. This is why it is important to consider the reliability of the information that we gather and also the limitations of any observation methods that are used. • Avoiding bias It is really important at all stages of observing and assessing a child to be completely objective. Two people can record the same child doing the same activity and they can produce two very different observations, for example one person might decide that a smile is important and so they will record it but another person might decide otherwise.
She often does very slowly , so before class , let her finish everything is a challenge . But now is not a problem , she has been very careful . I believe she will perform a better job of a few weeks
Over the past few months, the class has been discussing typical and atypical language development and the assessment and intervention of children with language delay or disorder. In line with this, the students were asked to observe children aged 0-12 years old with language problems for 2 hours. For this requirement, I went to a therapy center situated in Quezon City last November 16, from ten (10) A.M. to twelve (12) N.N. The center has multiple rooms that are used for speech therapy and occupational therapy. During my observation, two speech pathologists and two children with language disorder were sharing one speech therapy room.
Rose’s physical development at age 18 is not explained in the program. Cognitive Development: At age 10, Rose is able to concentrate on tasks longer before. She also likes to read
The class had been working of group projects and the student had to be assisted by his teacher, so he may lack the independent milestone to a certain degree. Conclusion Every child is different, especially when it comes to meeting their developmental milestone. Knowing the level that a child should meet when they reach a certain age is important.
All of these things that I observed are expected findings of cognitive skills at four years of age. She was developmentally appropriate for her age in cognitive skills. Lastly, I observed her communication skills. Her speech was understandable about 90% of the time and she used complete sentences.
Introduction This assignment is in two parts. The first part of this assignment would attempt to use the theories of human development to explain the child behaviour observed during child observation at the preschool while the second part of this assignment would propose an intervention on a scenario at my practice placement. I would demonstrate my critical understanding of the theories and evaluate their relevance for evidence-informed and value-based practice. I would conclude by articulating my critical appreciation of the use of theory to inform professional social work practice based on my experience from the child observation and my placement experience.
According to Cynthia Lightfoot, author of “The development of the children”, “young children’s fine motor skills improve notably and early childhood is marked by impressive gains in both gross and fine motor skills”. Daniel’s
Toddler Learning and Development Introduction Unlike adolescents and adults, growth and development is different in infants and toddlers. Observations from the physical, cognitive and perceptual development show that toddlers and infants grow and develop at a faster rate than adults. The physical, cognitive and motor development in infants and toddlers is higher than the same development in adults. This paper is an analysis and interpretation of an observation conducted with an aim to understand the growth and development of toddlers and infants. It explains an observation of an infant boy named Taylor who is 8 months old.
Alex is a delightful child with qualities that make her a credit to her family. Alex’s self-esteem and self-worth appears very positive as she has a bright and bubbly nature, with a friendly, chatty and caring disposition. Alex likes herself and those around her which is evidenced by her being a popular child amongst her peers. It could be suggested, it is likely Alex’s temperament which has enabled her to be resilient and remain positive, despite previously experiencing severe trauma and distress. It is has been lovely watching Alex grow in confidence over the weeks spent working with her.
When it comes to the development of children or in other words toddler, it is important to have an understanding as you see your child go through these changes physically and mentally. Even though there are general patterns to how children develop emotionally, socially, and physically, each child is unique and will develop in a special way. Individual differences can be very striking between the first and fourth birthday and are caused by the different experiences that each child has throughout their childhood. Having a stimulating environment for the child is very important, without this type of environment the child will never grow or learn. All experiences that a toddler goes through affecting their social and emotional growth.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this case study is to determine if a 17 year old female, Emily, is appropriately developing physically, socially, and cognitively based on examined factors. Some factors that will be considered is the child's family situation, sociality, future plans, growth experiences, hobbies, and personality factors. The qualitative information provided will be used to determine if the child has adapted to the appropriate developmental stage of her age group. The analysis will also determine how each factor has impacted the development of the child.
Throughout this course of four weeks, my perspective of child development has changed drastically in this short amount of time. This was my first class that was related to child development and there was a lot of material that was important to learn and understand. I came to this class with not much knowledge, but I am definitely leaving this class with an abundance of information that I will be able to use in my career or just in general. Discontinuous Within the process of child development, my view is based upon that is children are constantly growing through stages which is a discontinuous process.
