READINGS-
Think about what you saw in the video and how the infant gains skills in both fine and gross motor development as well as perception, YOU WILL observe two infants between birth and three years of age, with at least 6 months difference in age. Think about what you observed the infants doing in the video and see how the child you are observing is using each of the skills presented in your text and in the video. Be sure to observe how the child is using their fingers, wrist, arm, shoulder, foot, toes, leg. Rather than seeing the child was able to walk, observe how the child is developing balance, lifting one leg, moving the arms, how the ankles are turned, etc. Discuss what you have learned from observing how the child used their motor skills.
After your two observations, reflect on what you have seen and how they link to what you have learned in this module. Develop an essay on how viewing the video & these observations have enhanced your understanding. Cite specific examples.
In Module 7, you will be doing a child development essay, which will require that you discuss your observations from chapters 5, 6 & 7. You will bring each of observations together to reflect on how the child is demonstrating each of the areas of development that you are now beginning to learn about. You may want to use this observation, or one of the upcoming observations, to describe the development of an infant or toddler in all of the areas of development that you will be learning about in this course. You may want to keep notes of what you have observed in this assignment to later discuss in the child development essay along with cognitive, creative, language, literacy and social/emotional areas of development.
