In child development, we are assigned a child to observe from the Deer Park Teaching and Learning Center, and track their development through the year. In this paper, I analyze Isabella Weissmuller 's development in physical, intellectual, social, and emotional development from the observations I have gotten from weekly observations in the Deer Park child care center.Then, I compare these observations with resources such as the textbook and handouts my teacher has provided me.

Her father Daniel uses the same method when Isabella screams. Isabella will often scream or use a “whiny” voice when she does not get her way, and responds to discipline by crying. Isabella takes swimming lessons, plays soccer, and participates in a church play group. Bella will often play alone, and is able to entertain herself. When she does play with others, it is in a coed, mixed age group of one to three other kids. Isabella has been to Mexico when she was a baby, and recently visited Wisconsin and Indiana. Isabella enjoys spending time with her family and others, as shown in her development in the child care center. Physical development is described as in our textbooks as “physical body changes in a growing individual, such as changes in bone thickness, size, weight, vision, and coordination” (Herr 552). In child development, we observe physical characteristics, large motor coordination, small motor coordination, and health that the child presents. Isabella is slightly ahead in her physical characteristics due to her height.
