An observation means you are writing what you observe when a child engaged in an activity or task. So, for your observations you need to find a child involved in a task or activity for each developmental area. When writing an observation you will have to record exactly what you see and hear, from there you interpret the observation by writing what the child CAN do and has achieved. To develop a child's skills in that particular developmental area you then write a follow up activity.

I am providing information on Child Development to give you some ideas on what to look for and ages/stages of development:

Also providing you previous topics within the forum where observations have been discussed:

You can also check out sample observations in our Online Tools (programming templates):
