1019 Words5 Pages

Ethan is a 3-year-old baby boy, who spend most of his day at the Sea of Joy Daycare center, in the far North Side of the city. Roughly, there are twenty-five infants and toddlers in this daycare center. The Sea of Joy is a well-organized and safe daycare center. It has a great facility with multiple playgrounds and well-informed staffs. As I observed each child has unique behavior, some were easy going, shy, playful, and difficult. In this essay I will be going to discuss about my observation of Ethan’s, social-emotional behavior, cognitive development, and physical development. It was rainy and cloudy Friday morning around 8 am, when I arrived at the Sea of Joy Daycare Center making my first observation. Before my arrival, I asked for the permission to make my observation …show more content…

It took him quite some time, approximately after twenty minutes he started talking and interacting with the other kids. Thereafter, the kids started their daily activities. During these activities, Ethan learns numbers, letters, colors, and shapes, they also link them with the sounds. For instance, when the teacher, says the names of a particular shape, Ethan point toward the correct shape on the board. As I continue observing, Ethan was able to follow the instruction well, and the teacher gives him a good amount of time to process the information. When he answers the question correctly, he gets a round of applause as a positive reinforcement. I can relate this behavior with Piaget’s pre-operational reasoning stage, during this period children age two to seven years, can represent objects through drawing and language but cannot solve logical reasoning problems (Piaget, 1954). Ethan was able to draw the shape when he hears the sounds, using his favorite blue color crayon, he doesn’t always get it right, but most of the time he was able to draw correctly with the helps from his

In contrast, the progress notes also foreshadowed an area of Alton’s that he still continues to struggle with. Concern surrounding his socialization skills, his teachers highlighted an area that he needed to improve on.

    H.Gs emotional development has come to complete stop. During my visit I noted that HG sat very close to his grandmother, followed her visually as she stood up to go to kitchen and became visibly anxious when she left the room. Analyzing H.G’s behavior and development through Erikson’s Stages of Development one will note that H.G was not able to “reach self-control without loss of self-esteem” nor does he have the ability to cooperate and to express himself properly. In early childhood he was not able to “effectively learn the degree to which assertiveness and purpose influence the environment.”

    Education is at the forefront of most new parent’s minds, which is why there is so much pressure on choosing a good preschool.

    Encompassed by a child’s life space are forces which the child may be aware of or not, in addition to forces which are accepted by the child as true though they may not be so. Some say that Lewin’s conceptions were more of an approach rather than a theory, pointing out that Lewin failed to present an organized description and elaboration of his views on child development. In spite of criticisms, however, Lewin merits recognition for stimulating a vast amount of innovative research on children. He was quite effective at motivating other researchers to explore novel avenues of research.

    I understand completely since I took French classes when I was younger, so it might be difficult balancing three languages (Spanish, English and French). According to Piaget’s cognitive stages, he’s in the preoperational stage. I don’t believe he’s ready to fully master all the concrete operations, he’s thinking is more preoperational rather than concrete. He can tell time, he knows some days, months and seasons, but typically he doesn’t fully comprehend the differences. For instance, he can tell you what time his parents and siblings come home from work or school, but if someone asked what day of the week and month, he would have difficultly.
