...understanding in child development. Students have an obligation to protect children and respect school personnel. Observers are usually visitors in the classroom. The observer must keep in mind that they are a disruption to the regular processes in the classroom and they should respect the classroom teacher’s direction. The protection of the child’s rights in any type of child study is important. Regardless of the procedure used to collect information, the child’s protection is paramount. The child must not come to any harm (physical or mental) through participation in the observation process. Confidentiality must be utilized at all times. Talking about children and families with others outside of class or with the classroom teacher is prohibited. Please use fictitious names in written reports. Any concerns about a child’s safety should be addressed immediately with the classroom teacher or other responsible party. Observation tells us about children’s behavior – what they are doing. If we want to understand children’s development in school settings then we should observe them in those settings. Observation that takes place in a natural environment is referred to as naturalistic observation. Qualities of a Good Observer: · Recognize personal bias and preconceived assumptions about children. · Stay focus for a long period of time on whatever is being observed. · Pay attention to details. Documentation The most popular method for recording child observations...

...Running head: WRITTEN SUMMARY OF A RESEARCH ARTICLE Written Summary of a Research Article Dasani Smith Psychology, 100 Professor Smith February 5, 2012 Written Summary of a Research Article Early childhood professionals have individual preferences about how they like children to behave (Eddowes, Aldridge, & Culpepper, 1994). Early childhood professionals also play a critical role in helping children accept themselves as unique (Aldridge, 1993). While students preparing to work with young children learn about cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development, they often neglect to study personality development (Aldridge & Cowles, 1990). The study of personality is important because a child's temperament influences the teacher more than the child's intelligence (Lerner & Lerner, 1986). In fact, teachers often give grades and implement classroom management strategies based upon specific children's temperaments (Pullis & Cadwell, 1982). Temperament is the part of the personality with which each child is born. According to Chess and Thomas (1987) temperament refers to individual differences in physiological responsiveness. It includes the characteristic way that an individual responds emotionally to people and objects. Chess and Thomas (1977) found nine temperament categories which they believed were present at birth. These categories include the following: Activity Level. Does the child display mostly active or inactive stress? Rhythm city or Regularity...

...(“Tamagotchi Price,” 2015). The device was aimed at young children around the age of 6. It was aimed to promote nurturing instincts as the children would actually care for the digital pet, and if they failed at this the digital per would die (Baguley, 2013). Moreover, as there were strict laws governing ownership of pets in some countries, the Tamagotchi was an excellent solution for families unable to buy real pets for their children. This is why the device sold so many units. Some of the devices had communication abilities, which allowed children not only to play but also linguistically interact with the toys. This was seen as an educational component to the toy. As the toy was completely non-violent it became a popular choice for parents as a suitable toy for their children’s development. In summary, the Tamagotchi is the first digital toy. The second popular toy is Barbie Barbie is a small human shape like a doll, children play with it like playing with their friends, and they dress it up and can even change its hairstyle.

...GIANT FIRST SUMMARY A giant who lived in a big house had a beautiful garden, but he never let anyone enter his garden. Whenever he was away, children would come there to play. One day, the giant decided to visit his friend and left for the neighbouring kingdom. The giant came back from his friend’s place after seven years. Seeing the children play in his garden, he angrily chased them away and built a high wall around the garden. After the children stopped coming to the garden, the trees and flowers were so sad that they lost their beauty and were covered with snow and frost. No birds came to sing there. Spring was everywhere but in the giant’s garden it was still winter. One morning, the giant saw children playing in the garden. They had entered through a small hole in the wall. And spring arrived in the garden at last to express its happiness on seeing the children again. The giant realised that he had been selfish and was very sorry for what he had done. He let the children play in the garden every day. The giant’s favourite among the children was a little boy who had kissed him when he helped him to get on top of the tree. But the little boy stopped coming to the garden and the giant was very sad. Many years passed and the giant grew old and weak. One winter morning, the giant saw the same boy under a tree. He ran down to the boy in joy. The boy was an angel who had come to take the giant to the garden of Paradise as a reward for letting him play in his garden...

...Six-year-old Eric Kessler entered a partially constructed house on a residential construction site to play.

...the role of being the main caregiver they begin to adopt behaviors more traditional with mothers. Tiffany Field (1978) videotaped 4-month old babies in face-to-face interaction with father as primary caregivers and mother as secondary caregivers, and fathers as secondary caregivers and mothers as primary caregivers. Like moms, primary caregiver fathers spent more time imitating, holding, and smiling at infants than the secondary caregiver fathers. This is important when developing an attachment with the baby. This implies that dads can be the more nurturing/caring attachment figure. What is crucial to the attachment relationship is how caring/responsive the caregiver is not the gender of the parent. Das induce more excitement and tend to play more physically than moms. Fathers reacting correctly to a child’s expression predicts positive social and emotional models of behavior later in adolescence and childhood. This predicts that dads instill a sense of confidence to explore with relationships (Berk, L, 2006). Farrel believes that dads teach children to respect other’s boundaries and set clearer boundaries than mothers. Kids see their dad as powerful and authoritative (Franz C., et al 1990). In the context of single parenting, children were better off in the custody of the dad (Clark-Stewart & Hayward 1996). In Asian school boys the highest correlation with aggression in guys is a bad relationship with the father (Ang, R., 2006). However research into the role of fathers...
