Child Study Project

Q Within the next 8 weeks, observe 2 different-aged children between the ages of 4 months and 3 years (36 months) in a natural setting at an approved site. YOU MUST GET PRIOR APPROVAL FOR THE CHILD STUDY PROJECT. One child must be from a minority cultural/linguistic background or have a disability. Keeping an anecdotal record, observe the child’s physical development, social/emotional development, and cognitive/language development. Document each of the observed behavior characteristics and milestones on the checklist. Observe each child over a minimum of 2 different dates and times over a period of 2 months. Document quantitatively and qualitatively what developmental characteristics you observed. Be an objective observer. DO NOT INTERPRET BEHAVIORS; AVOID OPINIONS. After completing all observations, write a narrative report on each child observed. Include their growth in all domains (physical development, social/emotional development, and cognitive/language development) based on your observation checklists. Make sure you identify any developmental changes that took place from each time you observed. Your narrative should include a separate heading for each domain. All documentation materials including the checklist must be submitted with the narrative report. This assignment must be typed following APA format. Final Report: Write a summary of what you have learned about child development from this experience.

I have observed two children from the ages of 4 months and 3 years respectively. I have the details of few licensed child care centres and contacted them for the approval. This is how I received the appointment from Bumo Care in Los Angeles. Name of the First Child: Amelia Murphy Date of Birth – 18th November 2022 Parent’s Name – Robert Murphy and Julia Murphy. Before I discuss about the different domains of development, I want to share the information that I have been observing this child for two months now. Both of her parents are working in the mid-profile job. Hence, they reach out to this place so that child is taken care of when they are at work.
