Early Childhood Observation Of R And H. A.

Another observation I took note of was how amazing the children are when it came to never giving up. One example, was when H.A and A.R were playing in the dramatic play area. I began flipping an egg on a pan. H.A and A.R were intrigued by what I was doing and asked to do it too. Both the children had difficultly catching the egg back into the pan, but that did not stop them from tying again and again. I also supported them by saying “oh you were so close, let’s try again”. Eventually, both A.R and H.A were able to successfully catch the egg back into the pan. Preschooler are able to regulate their emotions and behaviour by coping with challenges, stopping and then starting their own actions, persisting when frustrated and use effective strategies for self-calming (Elect 2007, p.47). Both A.R and H.A are at the appropriate level of …show more content…

I would then correct them by staying “no silly, it’s a small pompom” and compared it to the size of the plate. Preschoolers are able to recognize and state objects features correctly (Elect 2007, p. 54). This statement suggests that L.C and M.B may be slightly behind in development when it comes to classifying objects. Over all, I want to incorporate activities that will help enhance and support the growth of certain developmental domains. Each preschooler is unique and developing at their own pace, and hopefully my activities will help guide them towards the right
