Child development (observation Interpretation) 3

Since you are not able to complete your observation with an actual child, use this video AND this other video.

For this assignment, You will write about your observation of a child aged: Preschool = 3-5 years

All observations must take place in a naturalistic setting with an active child (Please do not submit observations where the child is watching television or playing with electronic devices or talking on their cell phone). The ideal is that the observations would take place in an educational or childcare setting. However, other settings are acceptable IF they allow the child to behave in a way that caters to his or her natural actions and interactions.

You cannot observe your own child, and you cannot interact with the subject of your observation or with any other people who may be present. During the observation, your ONLY role is to observe and write down what you observe.

Each observation/interpretation will last approximately one hour and fifteen minutes; this will allow you to fulfill your five-hour observation requirement for the course. You will take detailed notes during the observation (please keep these, as they may be useful to you during the revision process). You will then type the observation, and include an interpretation of ONE behavior from any ONE of the three domains, and submit the typed assingment via the assignment links provided in Brightspace.

You must include the three following components:

A specific behavior from the observation
A theory and/or milestone from the text that can be used to interpret the behavior.
An explanation of how the text info and the behavior relate to each other. The explanation will include:
A definition and explanation of whatever terms you cited from the text AND
A comparison/contrast between the text info and the observed behavior
