Assignment Instructions
Child Observation
This is an exercise in Naturalistic Observation, which is one of the forms of research used to study children in their natural
environment. The purpose is to see children as individuals in process. For this assignment, you are to observe a child in
each of the age ranges below. This does not mean you need to set up a specific time to observe; as a matter of fact, I
prefer that you not do this.
The observation can last 5 minutes or longer. Examples of previous situations in which students did their observations
include: church/synagogue, shopping center or store, park or playground, restaurant, playing with the students child, at a
childrens sporting event, waiting for the bus, at the library, in daycare setting, at a family birthday party, and so on.
You may not observe your own child; however, the child you observe can be a child you know and/or could be playing
with your child (if applicable). I do not want you to study the childDO NOT take notes while you are observing. I
want you to learn to fine-tune your observation skills. If for some reason you must interact with the child, do not lead,
guide or manipulate her/his actions in any way. ALWAYS INTERVENE WHEN SAFETY IS AN ISSUE.
Complete one observation/report for each of the following age groups:

3rd Observation: Middle Childhood...ages 6-11 years.

Each observation report must be 2(full)-3 pages, typed, double-spaced, standard font, one-inch margins. I will be paying
particular attention to sections 4-5 and will assign more points to these sections than to the others. Follow this format:
1. Situation...describe the setting, who the child was interacting with (if anyone), the type of interaction between the
participants.
2. Development...what developmental area(s) are you observing and commenting on? Physical, cognitive,
social, emotional or a combination?
3. Expectations...briefly, what are some of the expectations of this age group in the developmental area(s) you are
commenting on? Check the appropriate Milestone Chart in your text. Indicate any differences you notice during
your observation.
Infancy through Toddlerhood pages 282-283
Early Childhood pages 402-403
Middle Childhood pages 516-517
4. Analysis...your analysis of the development/behavior you observed based on what you read in the course
text. Relate a minimum of one aspect of the observation to a particular theory, stage and/or concept. Identify the
theory, stage or concept and an example of the childs behavior that illustrates it (such as: Anitas behavior of
talking quietly to herself, as she was putting the puzzle together, relates to Vygotskys private speech theory
which he calls self-directed language that children use to help master challenging tasks").
5. You. What are you learning about yourself as an observer and analyst of childrens behavior? Were there
any preconceived assumptions or bias that changed for you after doing this observation? If so, what
were they and how did they change? In what ways are your skills improving (reporting, memory recall,
theory/concept/term awareness, objectivity, comfort level, familiarity with milestones, visual skills,
better understanding of developmental areas, etc.?) What are your challenges?
