Observation of Child
For this observation I went to the Mall. I sat next to the playground, which was full of children from different ages, and their moms watching them. The child I decided to observe seemed to be around three years old.
• What did the child do during your observation? Be specific, what did he/she do and/or say? How did he/she interact with others?
When I started looking at the playground, I saw many kids, but one of them got my attention as he was placing his face in one of the glass circles, looking at me. He was very little. After he was done looking, he started running around all the other kids and tried to pick up some toys that were on the floor. He was not interacting with other kids, because they seemed older than him.

However, in this case I was at one of the stores, where I could observe a female adolescent who was accompanied by her mom. The adolescent I decided to observe seemed to be around 15 years of age and was.
• What did the adolescent do during your observation? Be specific, what did he/she do and/or say? How did he/she interact with others?
The adolescent I observed was looking at clothes with her mom while talking to her about what to wear for her date. She seemed to be rejecting her mom’s options for outfits. She was moving around the store, with a face of concern.
• If you could have responded one time to the adolescent, what would you have said? How would you have intervened?
Knowing that she was frustrated because she was not finding the perfect outfit for her date, I would have told her to breathe and that as long as she is and looks confident and happy, she will be successful in her date. Looks are important but should not be the main focus of the event.
• What do you think that the adolescent was feeling during that time?
I think she was feeling anxious about the event and wanted to make sure everything was going to be

The last time I took my wife to the Smokey Mountains, I bought her a hand sewn quilt that was made in a factory. We had gone to that area to enjoy a little nature and get out of the city for awhile. We had a great visit and on the way out of town we decided to stop at a local shop that had a lot of craft like items. My wife has always loved quilts and I saw her eyes light up when she laid eyes on the quilt hanging from the wall. She asked the store clerk about the quilt, and she told me how nice it would match our bedroom at home.

Where Have You Been?," the main character, Connie, is very concerned about her looks and making sure she always looks like what she would consider "pretty." As a young, fifteen year old girl, looking good and getting the attention of boys was her main priority. Although she is still technically a child, Connie wanted to look older and more mature, assumably to mimic the women she could see in advertisements and magazines.

Many youths are recognized for being up to no good and showing a sense of immaturity, due to their young age; they have a higher chance of getting into tough situations just to be noticed. In Gwendolyn Brooks’ “We Real Cool”, she describes what she believes seven young pool players perceive to be cool by using their perspective as the speaker of the poem. Popularity and peer-pressure play a huge role in youths immature actions. Brooks appears to mock the seven young men and deduce that they are in fact not cool. Instead, the message left is that the young men are defiant, uneducated, and careless.

For the parent-child interaction observation, I decided to use my community park as the public setting. My observation consisted of watching the interaction of a mother and her two sons, who seemed to be twins around the age of six or seven years old. I observed the interaction from afar without them being aware that I was observing, which allowed me to note a true naturalistic observation without manipulation of the situation. The setting of the interaction was a community park, where a mother and her two sons of Indian ethnicity, were approaching a basketball court area. The mother began to strap a helmet on one son because he was about to ride his bike, while the other son was walking alongside them holding a basketball.

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.
