INTRODUCTION
Early childhood behavior is crucial for the future personality of the child (Whitebeard, D., 2015).
What a child can become in future is depicted during his or her early stages of growth in life.
This can be determined through observing how the child behaves when undertaking some
specific tasks occasionally especially when the task is repetitive. With the help of a guardian a
child can realize his or her talents and abilities which might determine his or her area of
specialization later in life. Pursuing teaching as a profession, it is a part of study to be placed at a
learning center so as to gain practical knowledge of how things happen literally and for that
matter i have been placed at a kindergarten and doing an activity been essential, i have chosen a
doll washing activity for my focus child who is Kirat and she is 4 years old who is the basis for
my assignment. This assignment seeks to relate the skills depicted by Kirat in her doll washing
activity with the Early Years Learning and Development end results.
My study child and her learning Documentation
My focus child is Kirat who is four years old and she studies in the Kindergarten where I
have been placed to gain practical experience in teaching. She has been in the kindergarten for 5
months. One day I observed her playing with dolls .I was surprised by how she treated the dolls
as though she was handling a real child. She covered the dolls with her warm sweater and sang a
lullaby to curdle them to sleep like the mother does to her child. I just knew that she is doing
what she has seen at home or might have learn while playing with other kids(Oke, I., Kulkarni,
P., Lolap, T. and Haribhakta, Y., 2016). This observation enabled me to come into a conclusion
that during the early childhood period children learn most of the activities through observation of

what happens in their environment and they also learn through interaction with others in the
course of playing drama as mum does at home
On another day, I noticed Kirat enjoyed visiting the baby’s corner setup with the dolls and
various materials which is usually set for kids at the kindergarten as playing toys during their
free time. She sat down and gently covered the babies with a blanket while pattering them at the
same time to sleep. Some two other kids came and asked her if she could join them to play
outside the class but she refused claiming that her kids would cry. I was fascinated by her
determination and her seriousness in her task, indeed she was so passionate in what she was
doing and disturbance was the last thing she would allow. Some kids came to where her dolls
were sleeping and they started to sing and jump and she requested them to be silent lest they
awake her children and the kids left and went to play outside the classroom. I was surprised by
her nature of been considerate and caring to her dolls and that is what happens exactly in real life
when someone makes noise where a child is sleeping. From this I was able to conclude that
children learn through experiments of what they might have seen or heard within their
environment (May, R.J., Downs, R., Marchant, A. and Dymond, S., 2016).
I noted in another occasion I noted that she had some juice in a bottle and she tried to spoon
feed her doll through its tiny mouth. I was surprised by how she was able to determine whether
the doll was consuming the juice or not and I asked her how the juice will enter the doll’s
stomach and she told me that she had made a small hole at its artificial mouth where she was
dripping the juice using her small plastic spoon and to my surprise the juice was over after some
minutes and she told me that the doll was now full and the next thing was to curdle it to sleep. I
