Has anyone examples of child observations?

Im doing observations on 3-4yr olds. Its part of childcare course i am doing and i need to link theorists to my observations on the physical, intellectual, language, emotional child. Has anyone a childcare course done that would share their observations to give me a base to start??

Thanks in advance.

    I had to log a TON of hours of child observations for my Child Care Administration Degree a couple of years ago... Basically what I did was sometimes do observations on the behavior/interaction of the whole class and sometimes do specific children (remember to always use generalities in your observations: ie, "female: child #1 vs. "Mary")

    For what you seem to be documenting, I would do some research and create a "graph" with the name of the theorists and what their beliefs on different aspects were (ie- so and so believes _______ about a child's emotional state). Then, just document the physical, intellectual, language and emotions of the child and go back to compare the child's behavior with the different theorists.

    Hope this helps! I had to turn all of my journals/ observations in to pass each course, so I don't have them to actually quote!

    Hi,

    If you send me your email address (via my yahoo profile) I can copy and paste a few of my observations from when I was doing my teaching degree at uni - obviously I'll have to edit out all the names, etc, but the actual content will still be useful.

    I'm travelling home later today so should be able to get them to you by Thursday, Friday at the latest.
