For the observation, I used my seven-year-old niece. The observation took place at a park. The theory that I chose as a base for the observation is Erik Erikson’s Theory of Development, in which my focus was on the stage of industry versus inferiority. During the one hour observation, I was able to observe my niece participate in a series of activities with other children at the park. One of the first activities that I observed was that all the children were trying to see who of all is able to climb

Child Observation Deathra S. Anthony PSYC 221 Liberty University Child Observation For my child observation, I observed a girl 2 year old named Rylee while I was helping to decorate for my sister’s bridal shower.

A. General Comments I conducted my observation at the CSUN Child and Family Studies Center on April 13, 2018 from 2:40 until 4:50 PM.

There are eight 4-and 5-year old children in the group, and

do not expect high levels of performance in most kids in this age group because the development of their memory and complex thinking patterns is still limited. As usual, there are exceptions to every rule. I know some of them personally. If your child is one of those rare cases, celebrate the fact that he is ahead of schedule, let his talent age for a while like a good wine, and be careful not to feel the need for speed or to rush him quickly forward. In general, these activities are hard to grasp

Have you ever wondered how a child thinks? What goes on inside a child’s brain, what do they think as they play with a new toy for the first time, or learn how to do something new like riding a bike. Children are complex and normally learn at a very quick pace, their brains are like an absorbable sponge during the early years of their young lives. Children may learn on their own, or learn from observing others actions. Although I am not longer considered a child, I plan on turning back time and
