Report
Introduction
Child development planning is very useful to new parents nowadays. By this development,
parents can measure the growth of their child. Many institutes did this development planning
procedure. With the help of their children are physically and mentally developed in a certain
way.
With the help of different dated observations of three selected children, it is visible that, there
are three methods of observations considered in this study.
Controlled Observation –
By this observation, I have noticed certain changes amongst the children. Seeking contact,
maintaining contact, children avoid proximity, increasing reliability (Mcleod, 2019).
Naturalistic Observation –
By this observation, I have noticed certain changes amongst the children. Children easily
studied spontaneous opportunities, willingly generate new ideas in all activities
(Verywellmind.com, 2019).
Participant Observation –
By this observation, I have noticed certain changes amongst the children. Here children
willingly take participate, accepting peer scaffolding in any situation (Mcleod, 2019).
Appendix – 1: Permission to Observe Form
Dear parent/guardian,
I am a student currently studying Certificate III/Diploma of TFAE SA
During my course studies, I am required to gather and analyze information about children in
an education and care setting to plan for their interests, wellbeing, dispositions, and
involvement.
As part of these requirements, I would like to ask you for permission to observe your child;
this may include collecting written observations and/or samples or copies of your child’s
work.

I will ensure your child’s confidentiality by only using your child’s first name or initials in
their profile and s/he will not be identified in any other way.
Before you give your permission, it is important for you to understand that I am still learning
about child development and planning for children. The profile and plans will only be used as
part of my study requirements.
If you give permission for me to record information about your child for the purpose stated
here, please provide your signature in the Reply – Permission section below and return this
completed form to me as soon as possible.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Tomas Edison (student name)

mealtimes regularly at the proper time.
