Description and Message:
Trying to answer a few questions for my RPL, but after being in the kitchen for a few months, my brain is not making this easy! Any suggestions would be very appreciated!

Observations are used to ascertain where a child is developmentally, their interests and where we can plan for this child, moving forward (among other things)
The children's records can show their interests, developmental delays (if any), areas that require additional obs, allergies, medical issues, food intolerances etc.
Can use info exchanged with the family to understand cultural differences, work with the family to meet childrens needs etc.
this is only a small snapshot but might give you a start
Good luck
