Playground slide

Cody was swinging in a baby swing on the playground. He was holding on with both hands in a firm closed grip on the chains. His mother was pushing him and the swing. When the swing was pushed, his feet was bent under the seat. When the adults where talking, Cody would look to the adult that was speaking at that time. Cody mother asked him to go play with the other children. He yelled out “NO”, while shaking his head no. Then he told his mother “push”. Then mom stated pushing him again on…

The article " Can a Playground Be Too Safe?" touched on many important points of playground safety and how it may be too strict. Dr. Sandseter states "Climbing equipment needs to be high enough, or else it will be too boring in the long run." I agree with Dr. Sandseter about how important it is to give children the opportunity to be challenged and take risks. Even if the risks are as simple as climbing a 4 foot ladder or going down the big slide. If we make the playground equipment too safe the…

It’s Saturday morning, we sat with our legs crossed right in front of the television as our mothers begged for us to move back to prevent eye damage. Once you heard the drumroll intro, catchy tune and classic whistle we knew it was time for a brand new episode of the Rugrats. Growing up many cartoon characters were noticeably different from their fellow friends on the show. As kids we figured they were just different or crybabies such as the red-headed freckle faced Chuckie Finster from the…

My observation will be on the behavior of kids interacting with other kids at the Boone’s playground. I will observe kids around 1pm on Monday. My hypothesis of my observation is that 65% of girls will interact with each other in the playground while only 35% of boys will interact at the Boone’s playground. I came up with this hypothesis because girls usually just sit around and just talk at the playground more than boys and the boys play sports than the girls. I chose this particular setting…

Playgrounds can be found all over neighborhoods, towns, and schools and provide an excellent way for children in early and middle childhood to develop and work on physical growth in a safe way. Children go through a sensitive period which is a point in development when organisms are susceptible to stimuli in their environments (Feldman, 2017). Gross and fine motor skills are able to be developed further through play in an environment such as parks and are different for children in the early and…

Assessment Summary #2 – T.J. T.J. is a very interesting four year old, that I have had the privilege of being able to continue to observe him. He likes to play cars and rough house with his buddies especially on the playground. T.J. has had ups and down throughout my observation period at the child development center. The second half of the observations I have noticed that T.J. has at times secluded himself from interacting with his fellow classmates. In other aspects of development he has…

the slippery patches of ice. Many would rush to a side of the playground, where someone had an idea to make something even more fun. We had something that was commonly known as the monster slide, as the opening had a design as a dragon’s mouth. Snow on the ground was two feet high and increasing with the precipitation falling, but children were scooping the frost up while voicing their delight, and dumping the material onto the slide. The idea of including the ice would make sliding down…
