Synendro Child Observation

Improved Essays
The child that I observed for my second observation was Lissandro. The same child as my last observation. Lissandro is now 44 months old. I observed Lissandro at his home on the 22nd of this month around noon time. How he relates to me is that he is my best friend’s nephew. One thing that changed in the child’s life is that the father is seeing his child more. Before, he would see him on weekends, but now he sees his son all the time.

Not a lot of the child’s fine and gross motor skills have changed. Comparing the two observations from the checklist I have, I noticed that there was only one change. One of the changes was that he was able to draw shapes better than in the last observation. He was able to draw circles more distinct this time around.

He was doing more things on his own this time around, which I think is smart to start having him begin doing things on his own at such an early age. The one environmental factor that I think could have an impact on his development is that his father is there with him most of the time instead of just on the weekends. Out of Piaget’s four stages of development, I believe that Lissandro is in the preoperational stage. I say that because from what I observed and from what I read about the developmental stage, Lissandro’s actions during the observation correlate with each other. I would say that Lissandro is between the stages of autonomy versus shame and doubt and initiative versus guilt. I say that he is between both because he meets some of the aspects of each stage. Form the two observations, I learned that child development impacts the child most when the parents are involved with the child and when the child is doing some activities on his/her own starting at an early

    The first child seemed to be the youngest. He seemed to only want to put the stick in his mouth and wasn't interested in what the teacher was trying to show him, he was just doing his own thing. The second boy saw the first boy not be interested in the jug so he wasn't interested in the jug either. But the 3rd boy who was a little bit older I think, he watched the teacher put the stick inside the jug, and he did the same, I feel like his development is farther along then the other two, because he was able to watch the teacher do something, and then follow what she…

    In cognitive development, Piaget developed four stages that many still refer to today. The four stages are sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. In each stage, a child’s mindsets and abilities are different than the other stages.
