KinderGym. KinderGym is gymnastics Australia program majorly for the children that are under
the age of 5 years in which they get involved in the fun movement based program for the

their child safety as well as supervision. The paper shows the teaching initiative that will be

initiative consist of attending the KinderGym Inc. majorly in the small group of five people
where I have a being a supervise encounter with the child and their guardian. The paper includes
the case of a child to whom I met at Australian KinderGym and observation that link with
different theoretical content.
The Child’s Environment
James is a 13 months old baby. He has green eyes and fine, short brown hair. He has a very light
skin tone and almond formed eyes. He is sitting on the bed in his room, which is sparingly
equipped with a television and two settees. The room looks to be very comfortable with his
coziness and security in mind.
Child-Caregiver Interaction
Is there any contact of the adult with the newborn? What behavior states affect the infant-
caregiver connection?
James is sitting on the bed with his toys around him. Catherine (his mother) sits at the corner of
the bed to keep him safe from the corner and he begins to hand his toys to his mother. He is
concerned towards the response of the mother while handling her toys and the blocks, one by
one. James takes initiative, snatches the blocks, and give them to his mother. He looks at her face
and waits for her response (Berk, 2015). She then says him the color and letter on the block. He
go-aheads and pretends to pick one more block.
