Narrative Observations: These are detailed accounts of a child's behavior or activities, often written in story format. They are useful for capturing a child's developmental progress, interests, or interactions over a period of time. For example, a narrative observation might be appropriate when documenting how a child engages in imaginative play, showing their creativity and social skills.

Sociograms: These are visual representations of social interactions, often used to map relationships or group dynamics. They are ideal for understanding how children interact within a group setting. For instance, a sociogram could be used to observe which children a particular child tends to play with during free play, helping educators identify social patterns or preferences.
