Middle Childhood Observation

This paper will discuss a child that was observed for a total of 9 hours in their family setting at home. It will explore the student major milestones in the physical, cognitive, social and emotional domains. The skills of observation are important and the importance of tone of voice and body language, particularly when the words spoken might be saying something completely different.
