Describe The Child's Tone Of Voice What Their Facial Expressions Are And Their Body Language

Decent Essays
When observations are being done on children usually the information will be kept in a diary as it is ongoing rather than just a one off. When you make observations, it is very important that you be objective and not subjective. You must record precisely what you hear and see and without making up what you think will happen.

Children get observed on what they say, what they do and how they behave. How children move, speak and act. Describe the child’s tone of voice, what their facial expressions are and their body language.
