Naturalistic Observation

    For this assignment, you will need to observe a child younger than 23 months (if the child is two or older, you can use them for the early childhood observation). You may observe your own child; however, remember that this is an observation. You should not be interacting with the child at the time so you will need another adult with you For the analysis, evidence that you have referred to the textbook is a must! Use quotes, refer to terms and definitions, put the page number in parentheses at the end of the sentence. You should use at least 2 terms per domain, but more is good! Analyze the following categories (one paragraph for each domain): 2. Physical Development: Describe which gross and fine motor skills the child has reached. What has the child already achieved and what would be the next step in development? What can the parent/caregiver do to stimulate physical development? 3. Cognitive Development: Which of Piaget’s SUB-stages for Sensorimotor Intelligence do you see and why?? Give specific examples related to the stage of development.
