Observation of the Child

The type of observation that was used to observe Cynthia is called narrative observation and this lasted 15 minutes per visits on two separate occasions in Cynthia house. Cynthia is two and a half years old, she is the eldest from two children, and Cynthia lives with her mum and dad in a two bedroom apartment, she just recently started nursery with her cousin Eve who is also two and a half years old. From the brief narrative observation that was made: Cynthia was playing with the printer/scanner, she left the printer lid up (where you can scan documents), Cynthia then moves to the left hand side to pick up the house phone and place it on top of the scanner, her mum raised her voice saying “Cynthia leave there”, Cynthia jumped and moved to where the television is, Cynthia walking slowly to the printer again to where Eve is standing saying “I cant doy-doy”, Cynthia then picks up a text book from the shelf and put it on the scanner this time Cynthia push the button switching the printer on (the printer makes a loud kicking of noise) Cynthia shouting in a crying tone of voice “mummy Cynthia scare me” her mother laughs.

The importance of the Child Development is very high in UK. Numerous legislative ideas, funding initiatives, programming standards, and practicing guidelines for early childhood education programs have been introduced. Early care and education have become significant components of social policy due to the increase in the number of individuals in the workplace and the increasing roles of government in education and reform, as well as the continued concern for school readiness and achievement. History, however, has demonstrated that varying changes and restrictions in implementing early childhood education have occurred despite this belief system within the general population. The British people often state that their children are the most precious natural resource. Early intervention and prevention are the keys to long-term developmental and academic success. High quality and affordable child development programs that lay the foundations for future learning are required and necessary in today's society (Barnett, 2008).

The researcher known as Tryjankowski in 2005 has shown that the developmental needs and learning styles of preschool age children are unique and challenging for school administrators. And more specifically, that little is known about the types of academic and professional characteristics required of school administrators in early childhood education programs. Despite good intentions, educators and administrators at times make instructional decisions that may compromise the learning experiences required for children to become engaged and successful readers. For some children, learning to read is easy to internalize because they have experienced many literacy-related activities provided by appropriate modeling and scaffolding of reading behaviors by adults around them. On the other hand, at-risk students often experience significantly fewer opportunities for literacy-enriched activities and are less likely to develop automatic and intrinsic reading ...
