Our human lifespan is divided into many different stages. As one enters a new stage,
his behavior will tend to change due to cognitive and motor development. In this study
we will be focusing on the “magic years”(Shelov & Altmann, 2015), ages 3-4.
Observation of the behavior of 4 year old Lizzie, and 3 year old Braxton has already
taken place. Their behavior varies because Braxton is deaf and his language skills are
used through signing rather than speech, but there is still much development that takes
place at this stage that has been observed.
Once children reach the preschool ages of 3 and 4 years, they have already begun
to lose their “baby fat”. Lizzie and Braxton are both tall for their ages and their weight
corresponds with their height. …show more content…
Although Braxton is deaf,
he can understand up to 1000 signs according to his Aunt Ashley. Lizzie was rather
quiet and shy, but responded in sentences when spoken to.
Little emotion was shown throughout the observation besides one circumstance in
which Braxton messed up Lizzie’s play-doh. Lizzie at first became frustrated and a little
upset, but forgave Braxton once he gave her a hug to apologize.
THE BEHAVIOR OF CHILDREN AGES 3-4 4
Once the children warmed up, they adapted and interacted well with the other
students in the classroom. Braxton seemed to have a gender preference towards
males, while Lizzie didn’t seem to have any preference towards males or females.
Through this observation, it was shown that both children are developed well
cognitively and in motor skills. If placed in a different setting with more children, their
behavior would have most likely differed. But because they were placed in a setting with
college students, it showed how well they adapted to playing with young adults in a
classroom setting with
