Infant Toddler Observation

1012 Words5 Pages

Infants and toddlers are a very fun age to observe. Toddlers are probably more fun to observe because the can actually play. I have always enjoyed spending time with infants. I completed my observation at the church my family attends on Sunday, September 27. The church is Victory Baptist located in West Portsmouth. I observed an infant from ten to eleven and then the toddlers from eleven to twelve. Unfortunately there was only one infant in the nursery that day. The nursery at out church is one room divided in half with a half wall in between. One side is for toddlers and the other side is for infants. The toddler side of the room as toys and a child size table. There is also access to the bathroom. The infant side has a few toys, rocking chairs, cribs and a changing table. I had never been in this nursery before doing my observation. We just recently started attending this church, and my children are past the nursery age. The way the nursery is designed is convenient if there is only a few children one person could watch both …show more content…

There are two boys and one girl. One boy and the girl are still in diapers. The other boy is currently being potty trained. After Sunday school the parents of the infant picked her up. The toddlers were provided with a snack. The two boys played pretty rough and the little girl sit and played quietly by the kitchen play set. The nursery worker had to focus most of her attention on the boys to keep them from hurting each other or the little girl. The nursery worker stated that these two behave worse when they play together. The nursery worker did keep an eye on the little girl as well, but the boys demanded much more of her attention. A toddler in this nursery would be safe and have plenty of toys to play with. This is a healthy environment to offer childcare in. A caregiver had all the things needed to occupy a toddler with and would be able to meet their needs.

    D1/D2/A1 This piece of work will be focusing on a child aged 18 months starting a nursery day care setting. The two key issues that will be looked at in this assignment will be planning, preparing and reviewing for the child to settling into the setting. Secondly I will be looking into the child’s emotional support that the child may need when starting the setting, along with the attachments of the child that will need to be built or have already been put in place. When planning for a child to start a new setting there will be certain things that will need to be taken into consideration, for example; the child at hand may have never been separated from their primary carers beforehand.

    Case Study 2 As a setting it is our responsibility to note down all events seen, including the date, time and where it took place. It is also important to monitor this, seeing if the child comes to the nursery like this often, or on particular days. It is our duty to safeguard the child and if we feel that they are being 'neglected' we have the right to report it. However, we could support the mother by having an informal meeting, talking about any issues that she may be having.

    According to developmental psychology a person at any age is at a certain stage of cognitive, moral, psychosocial, and physical development. This development is measured by different types of thinking, mental capacity for tasks, physical strength, and reasoning for following rules. Development is easily seen in children. Naturalistic observation is the one of the easiest method to see these developments in children. This is the observation technique I used, while watching a five year old male at Kindercare Daycare at 3:30 on a Friday.

    “In order for babies to feel secure and relate to other babies they need what is called a primary caregiver and continuity of care. Free play in a safe, developmentally appropriate environment with peers is another basic requirement. The Pikler approach makes a case for a firm surface where babies can be with each other and free to move. At Pikler Institute, caregivers place babies who are past the newborn stage on their backs in a playpen large enough for a group. In the play area a small number of very simple play objects lie within reach.
