Hello rdoyle,

Physically you are on track with this assessment. I would also look into developmental milestones for children of this age and see where the child in sitting in regards to this.

Emotionally I would be looking further than simply the feelings of the child in regards to the activity but also with regard to the way the child feels about the environment. Does the child feel safe and secure in the environment? Is the child developing relationships with those around them?

Is there more to the question than this? If you could provide more information regarding the situation about the child, we would be better able to assist you.

Thanks and good luck!

that is all there is to the question except there are 3 pictures of him sitting in the ball pool picking up the balls & holding them up & he is smiling & looking around.

thank you for your help
