    Responsive to participant needs. On their first day in our program, I make every effort to me4et and greet our clients, the parents as well as the children. I ask the parents if they need any special requirements, accommodations, or modifications to better service their children. Before the child enters the classroom, I make sure they know they are included. I post a welcome sign for each new child and their cubby is already labeled so they know where to store their belongings. Once the child has entered the classroom, I take another child and introduce them and then we all take a tour of the classroom. This gives us a time to get to know each other, I can find out their likes and dislikes, observe their interactions with other children, and begin to plan their development.…

    I decided to do my qualitative paper on “How involved are fathers in interacting with their children” I went to the local mall on a Sunday, knowing that families are more likely to take a trip here on a weekend oppose to weekdays as parents may be at work and children may be home or at school. The setting I choose for this study was the build-a-bear workshop store. Build a bear workshop is very popular toy customization store, located in the local mall. This store is always busy with lots of children and their parents having fun building bears or simply purchasing toys. I walked into the store and started to walk around for a bit to get a feel for the setting and observe the people in the store. My criteria for this study:…

    Observations help us to plan for children’s learning needs because they show us where the children are in their development, which will help us know what the child needs to improve on, and what they already know, this helps because you don’t want to get a child to do something over and over again that they already know, you need to make sure that your planning things the child/ren dont understand well, and make them better at that, giving them challenges to improve on their development. It can show us if children need learning support, so that we can plan for the child to have someone in that lesson, so they can get what they dont understand explained to them more so that they do understand and then keep working on it until they know it and feel confident enough to do it alone.…

A child will learn to talk and walk and even toilet train by seeing and hearing others. When a child reaches toddler stage they begin to mimic people. This is a good example of observational learning.…
