Child Study TemplateA. Introduction1. The objective of the study(No need to fill up)This study aims to:- observe a child’s development in physical, cognitive, creative, language and social&emotional- analyse the child’s various developmental domains- recommend strategies to develop the various domains of the child2. Profile of child(Please write about 350 words or more, the information is written below, all information has to be included. Please take note that his height and weight have to be included as well. At the end of the profile, I have to state the reason why I chose this child Jacob for this child study assignment.) The child I observed is a 10-year-old boy named Jacob, who is a primary four student of Pro Teach Student Care Centre and has been enrolled there for three years. His height is 149 cm, and Jacob is slightly overweight. He weighs 57 kg with a BMI of 28.17. His favourite past-time is eating and snacking. Jacobs’s lacks physical activity. His co-curriculum activity is Boy Scouts. Jacob only does physical activity during his playtime and also during the programme kinetic kids.Jacob's parents separated from each other when he was five years of age. He is the only child.He currently lives with his mum and stepfather in an apartment which is close to the school. Jacob was heartbroken when his parents divorced and he had to be separated from his biological father. He still remembers his parent’s frequent quarrels and arguments and when he discusses it; he gets exceptionally stressed as he is still influenced by his parent's separation. Currently he has become exceptionally close to his stepfather and fears of losing him like how he lost his dad when he was 5. On a couple of episodes, Jacob was seen pickingat his scab on his right leg as a method for coping when he felt stressed. He said that it makes him feel relaxed.Jacob is a pleasant and easy going boy in school. He is well liked by his peers, however, he isseen to be effectively impacted by some of them. Two months prior, he started being closer totwo boys in his class who are popular but rebellious in nature and from that point forward, hisbehaviour has changed. He has been getting out of hand in class and some cases do not take directions well from the teacher.Jacob has a lot of potential to excel academically and socially, but he lacks the proper guidance as his mother and stepfather are working. He is a great student from the point of view of his teachers and in the view of many of his peers, he is a great friend (Leonard and Hill 2014). That makes the overall personality of this child exceptional. Having gone through a great deal at the age of five, which impacted him psychologically, he seems to be fearful about everything, which makes him an anxious child. However, Jacob has great potential for development. As he is in the student care centre; I can help him by guiding him on areas that he has to improve on by finding out and analysing his physical, cognitive, creative, language,
social and emotional development milestones. It is my duty to assist him (Parke and Ladd 2016).3. Developmental Milestones of various domainsI am not clear where u got the 8 miles stones for each column from? Is it from a website? Or all of them are from the reference u indicated below? Please indicate the reference for the milestones in the column below. For example: Ability to plan and predict more accurately.
