When I worked as a Paralegal, after retiring, the court appointed us to a woman that had an infant and was pregnant with another. The neighbors had called the Sheriff's Department because an infant was screaming from this woman's house and when they looked through the front door, when no one answered them knocking, they saw three adults sprawled out over furniture and the floor not moving. The SD entered the residence and all three were passed out from, what they believed was, drugs and alcohol. They had EMS check out the adults, while the SD searched for the infant that had gone quiet. They found the child on the floor next to the bed, she had a bump on her head, and they assumed she rolled off the bed. EMS checked the infant and she

The purpose of this paper is to locate, observe, and collect information on a school-aged child between the ages of six and 17 in different settings.

The topic I decided to observe is lack of focus in younger children. My observation was done at the Violet Elementary baseball field on May 4th. The practice was for a travel baseball team of boys at around the ages of 8 and 9.

EDuring observations and interviews the child was hesitant to respond to questions. He appeared somewhat withdrawn at times. The child reported he likes his current school and has friends there. However, he reported he was angry at his father for putting him in a larger school as he liked the smaller school he used to attend, where he had many friends.

I observed free time at Promise Day Care. Free time were provided in class because of the cold weather outside. Children played inside of the day care. All children have chosen their toys and began to play. I started to watch several children. Kamila, Milana, Lara, Lera, and Misha played together. First all of they played with cars. Then, Lera, as I understood, took the lead over everyone. She said very sternly that they need to build a road so the cars will travel only using the right side. The children agreed with her and began to collect the road using the constructor. Soon, other children who watched them, also wanted to participate in the game. However, Lera disagreed with them and told them not to interfere them to play because they first

hey want to know how their child/children is doing and it we have any concerns. When you observe a parent with a child to tend to find out things. Non verbal and verbal can affect an infant/toddler in many ways if you are non verbal to your child you can put them behind and make their language delayed. It can be hard for you to meet the needs of the child if you don't understand or communicate with the child. Sometimes you can tell by the child vocabulary you can tell who communicate with their child at home and who doesn't. The head start program that they have implement group socialization for infant and toddler as well. The teachers plans activities with groups and individual that are age appropriate. The program focuses on the parent child

I went to the Gracepoint Church’s Fall Fest on Halloween eve. Many interactive booths were prepared for the children, such as ring toss, dance floor, fishing for rubber dolphins, bean bag toss, beading station, and face painting. I hid behind my roommate who was working at the face painting booth that night. The location was perfect because of the high chairs at the booth gave me an easy view of the families in line and the children at the face painting station. I focused this observation on one pair of siblings, whom I will refer to as Jane (5 years old) and John (6 years old). Most children were impatiently waiting in line with their parents, including Jane and John. The two children discussed profusely what painting they wanted on their

The following paper will summarize the observation of one child in a natural setting, captivating in typical behavior and make an examination on what stage of development the child was in based on the observations. Observations took place twice a week over a four week period for about two hours each time. One child was observed, Summer age 7 over this four week period. The first observation took place at Summer’s home. I have visited Kelly and Summer’s house a few times prior to doing my observations. I have known Kelly for about 2 years and not long after we met we became really good friends. In the living room, I observed Kelly reading a book to Summer about The Three Little Pigs and she made Summer give her a summary of book after she was done. Not long after that Kelly set up a little paly house in her living room for Summer to play with her toys. She played with some ABC blocks, a baby doll, and she had a play cell phone that she used to act like she was making a phone call. This was the end of the first observation.
