Break up of marks : Observing the child and the parents and recording the
observations:
Analysis of observations and conclusions:
Observing and recording a child's behavior can provide parents with clues about a child's development, strengths and weaknesses. It can help parents gain valuable information about how a child thinks, feels, learns and reacts in a variety of situations and environments. When you effectively observe and record the behavior of your child, you learn more about her and how she reacts to the world around her.
Preparation
Step 1 Develop focus questions. What are you trying to find out about your child? Write down some questions that you hope to answer or learn about through observation. A sample question might be: "How does my child handle conflict or conflict resolution?".
Step 2 Consider the circumstances in which you will observe your child. What environment will be most effective for your focus questions? Decide if you want to observe your child at home or in public, in a group or independently.
Step 3 Divide a piece of paper (or several pieces) into three sections to create a note sheet. You can also print out a chart with three columns. Label the first column "Time," the second column "Observation" and the third column "Comments."
Step 4 Find a spot to sit or stand in proximity to your child. Get close enough so you can hear what she's saying but not too close that you interfere, advise Dorothy H. Cohen, Virginia Stern and Nancy Balaban in "Observing and Recording the Behavior of Young Children."
Observation and Recording
Step 1 Note the time that you are observing your child in the first column.
Step 2 Write a few sentences about the context of the situation at the top of the Observation column on your note sheet.
Step 3 Write down what your child is doing and saying in the Observation column. Capture as much detail as possible. You can write in note form and abbreviations in order to record quickly as the action happens. Write in present tense.
Analysis
