Study Child

Aim
The aim of this study is to observe my chosen study child in all areas of child development, including the Childs’ language skills, cognitive skills, social skills, Emotional development and physical development. I will observe each area of development and examine each observation but give an integrated holistic opinion of the development of the child in my evaluation. I feel it is important to study a child in all areas of development to get a clear overall opinion of the Childs development.


Rationale
I have chosen this particular child as from being in her company she interests me. She seems a confident and outgoing child, she uses good language and interacts well with her peers. I hope by completing this study case I succeed in painting a good view of the holistic development of all areas in the child and have a good understanding of the developmental norms for the Childs age.

Some of my observations took place in the preschool room, others were taken in the outside playground area of the crèche, where there are bikes, scooters, slides, prams and dolls to play with. The observations were taken throughout the month of September; we were lucky to have a spell of good weather so when the sun was out we were out.
TC is a 3-year-old girl, she is fit and healthy and has a great personality she has an older brother and younger sister, who do not attend the crèche.
