Category: Child Develpment

This assignment will consist of four parts and will require you to conduct observations of one
child multiple times during the semester. You will need to plan ahead to complete this
assignment and find a child to observe that is between the ages of 0-18 years of age. For this
assignment you will develop a detailed discussion and assessment of development. This will
require you to observe the child several times (5-10 times) over the semester. P
The Project will consist of four parts. I strongly discourage you from waiting until the final
deadline to begin the project.
When submitting your case study, include the section headings for your report. Use the
questions to guide you as you write the summary. Do not just answer the questions.
Only use the summary paragraph to include any relevant personal interpretations, opinions,
conclusions. When writing a case study summary report, use, “it seems”, “the evidence
indicates”, “it may be” and other qualifiers freely. Remember, you have only studied a small
time period in the child’s total life span.
Be sure to include the child’s first name, age of the child in years and months. Observations
sites and inclusive dates of observation should be included in the log, which is turned in with the
Case Study.
