This essay discusses how children develop across all domains (physical, social, emotional, cognitive and language) and how they connect. The video I observed was called ‘bottomless boxes’. First I observed their body language and what was going on in that video. The definition of holistic development is the development of the whole child, inside and out.

I have seen that the children were paying attention to the child turning the box over. This meant that the children paid attention and then gained those skills on how to turn the box around and climb through. An example of the children showing emotion would be when all the children were laughing and running around showing that they were having fun.

We must put to mind that each child born to this world is unique; they are born with different characters and their personalities and behaviours are formed and influenced by variety of factors.
