ANECDOTAL OBSERVATION 1
Child’s name: Riley Date: 11/02/2020
Setting: Home Observer:
Observation:
It could be observed
that the child has a
grip over his spoon
and feeding himself
the pumpkin soup.
However, he looks
around to find a
similar face,
apparently his
mother. No wonder he
keeps on muttering
“mama ma” in a very
child-like tone. It is
difficult to
comprehend from the
indistinctive language
that is being used by
the child to
communicate with the
carer or the mother. It
Interpretation:
According to the video
provided, the child is
able to repeat the action
of picking up his spoon
and feeding himself
which is likely for a 13
month old baby (Fox
and Diezmann 2017). It
is also observed that he
points to one direction
uttering some
indistinctive language
and then resumes his
eating. Hence, it can be
understood that his
cognitive development
is ongoing for on the
same level as for a 13
month old baby
(Acecqa.gov.au 2018).

is not immediately
clear as to the person
who is recording the
video is directly
related to Riley or not.
In addition, he is also
able to comprehend and
follow the advices that
are provided by the
individual.
Future planning:
The future plan for the child is to engage him in activity that will improve his
cognitive and language skills by involving him in activities like imitating
rhythms and animal sounds and beginning to count numbers.

in activities like balancing on one foot to increase his physical development
and squats without the usage of hands.
