Vast changes arise from infancy and toddlerhood, jumping to later childhood, and that was deceptive when comparing the outcomes from the two observations. Alex, who is eight years old, was the topic of the school-age child interview and observation.…

Throughout our course, we learned very well the five areas of development and how crucial they are within a child’s life. By knowing the five areas of development, it has helped me observe the children at the party and apply my knowledge and really see it in action. Crafts engage multiple brain areas simultaneously and improve bilateral coordination between both sides of the brain, leading to future cognitive development. Within our craft, there were many materials that required kids to use both their hands to do something (ex: putting glue on an eye).…
