Infant case study and observations-Tamryn
Tamryn is 9 months old. Both Tamryn’s parents work six days per week and her Grandmother lives with the family. Tamryn has no siblings. Tamryn attends the service two days per week and her Grandmother cares for her the other days. She has been attending the service for six months now. She responds to adult interactions with smiles, babbling and laughter. When Tamryn starts to get tired she will rub her eyes and crawls closely to her bag and points to it whilst looking for her dummy. She snuggles in when the educator feed her a bottle and she will usually go straight off to sleep placed in her cot and rubbing of her back for a short time. When she wakes Tamryn pulls herself to a standing position, holding onto the side of the cot, looks around for Kim the room leader and sings out until Kim appears. Tamryn will often be seen throwing her dummy on the floor whilst waiting. Educators are frequently having to wash her dummy and often spending time searching for it after Tamryn’s rest/sleep times. If another educator approaches Tamryn upon her waking and asks “Do you won’t me to lift you out of your cot or wait for Kim?” Tamryn looks at the educator and then quickly sits back down in her cot and waits for Kim.
What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
At first i was thinking of physical development (pointing, standing up with help, sitting down) but i am not too sure if it is correct. On the other hand it seems like Language Development too (verbal: babbling, non-verbal: smiling, responding to questions, pointing)
