In my observation I observed and studied Callie. Callie is a seven-year-old girl in the second grade. Her birth date is January 22nd, 2008. Callie is a healthy young girl who is very athletic and does not have any concerning health issues. Callie is the oldest child in her family. The birth order of Callie’s family is Callie at age seven, Christopher at age six, Grace at age three, and Luke at age one. Callie goes to school every weekday and gets out at 3:00 p.m. Callie in highly involved in extra curricular activities such as soccer, cheerleading, and church activities. I visited and observed Callie three times. The first time I visited Callie I went to her house on Saturday, September 19th, at 2:00pm. I planned a craft for her to do. The

Berk’s textbook, Infants, Children, and Adolescents. One clear milestone I saw Callie had reached is the ability to feel self-conscious emotions of pride and guilt govern by personal responsibilities (Berk). I observed Callie being prideful in her family dynamic. Callie is the oldest child and she enjoyed the responsibilities of being the oldest. Callie’s responsibilities include keeping her younger siblings busy and out of trouble, and helping with her siblings with their hygiene. Callie takes pleasure in her role in her family and Callie’s parents praise her for her ambition. I also observed the milestone of Callie being trustworthy and independent (Berk). Callie’s mother trusts Callie to be alone unsupervised. Callie’s mother has her hands full with Callie’s younger siblings so it s normal for Callie not to be supervised at all hours of the day. In relation to Callie’s social development, Callie is not good at sharing, more specially her dolls. Callie has two dolls and she favorites one of them because it looks like her. Callie is very precise when she is taking care of her dolls. The dolls get tucked into bed a particular way, and only certain dolls can wear certain outfits. Callie’s personality is generally very outgoing and kind, but she can be impatient. While she worked on the paper flower craft, she was dissatisfied on how long the craft was taking.

Callie is a very selfless child because she is always taking care of her siblings. Callie’s mother told me how much of a helper Callie can be. Callie’s mother tells me that she feels guilty sometimes because she can rarely give Callie the one-on-one attention that Callie deserves. From my observations Callie does not seem negatively effected by the lacking of parental guidance. Callie enjoys the responsibilities of being the oldest, so much so that she wants her mother to have another child so she can take care of them too. I believe Callie’s mother just wishes she could give all of her children all equal amount of attention. This presents a challenge for Callie’s mother because the two youngest children need constant supervision. In my opinion, I feel the lack of one-on-one attention Callie receives is benefiting Callie because she is learning to become independent and learning to be a leader, but I understand how her mother is
