Trainee social worker Child Development Observation work

[cearey]

Good Afternoon all! I am a student social worker and as a part of my course I need to do some observation of a child I do not know between the ages of 1 and 8 years old, for an assessment in child development.

If anyone has a child in this age bracket I would be incredibly grateful. As part of these observations, I would need to observe the child as they go about play time, dinner times etc. I would not be interacting with the child, only observing and taking notes.

I need to complete at least 4 sessions at 45 minutes long, a couple of these can be over a virtual viewing, if needed.

This would not be an assessment of the home environment or anything of that nature it is purely for me to reflect on my learning and theories I have read about in relation to child development.

If you have any questions or clarifications then please do not hesitate to ask me :)

Many Thanks in advance, Corrina Earey.

I did my Child Observation Study at a local council nursery. Child was a 2 year old and I had to observe her for 6- 8 weeks.
