Destiny Adams December 3 ,2023 Child Development EDUC-1004-1 Marsha Miller MS. Ed This video contains the observations of three distinct age groups. Three months to eight months, twelve months to eighteen months, and nineteen months to thirty-six months were the three age ranges. While watching this video, there were numerous instances of different development domains. They demonstrated physical development by learning to reach for toys and use their bodies to play with them when they were between the ages of three and eight months. By learning faces and recognizing themselves in the mirror, they demonstrated cognitive development. There was a lot of physical development evident in the walking and climbing patterns of infants between the ages of 12 and 18 months. By attempting to solve problems, they demonstrated cognitive development, and by making noises, they demonstrated some form of language. That was a lot of repeated actions, too. One child, for example, heard another child shaking the gate, which caused a sound, so that other child joined in and repeated the action. Additionally, there was a lot of thinking and decision-making involved with this age group. Without putting pressure on the kids to play with other kids, the caregiver made sure that every child was at ease. This group of children demonstrated how accustomed to routines they were— that is, how they were accustomed to carrying out specific tasks at specific times. The final age group, which included children between the ages of 19 and 36 months, exhibited a high degree of independence. The kids could play with other kids or by themselves. They had the opportunity to
play dress-up by using their imagination. There was also a lot of problem-solving. For instance, the child would constantly attempt to fix things on their own rather than coming up here or asking another adult for assistance. I was able to understand that development and domains frequently overlap after watching the video. For instance, a child may want to play with a particular toy but require assistance from a caregiver or may not be certain that he wants to play with the toy at all. The social development aspect of the child's development would likely involve a bond with the caregiver. The cognitive development aspect would likely involve the child attempting to sit and figure out how to approach and play with the toy. Finally, the child would have used the toy to engage in physical play and might have even invited other children to join in. I think of it as a process or even a series of events when there is overlap in the development domains.  There is no doubt that each of the development domains has grown from infancy to toddlerhood. I do think that development happens over time, even though an infant can show various signs of social, cognitive, and physical development at different times. A toddler might, for instance, push themselves up on the floor during tummy time. By eight months of age, the same child might be crawling and will probably start to walk as well. That merely serves as a quick illustration of how development can advance over time. My understanding of how babies and toddlers develop has significantly evolved. Upon viewing this video and exercising discernment, I came to the realization that every child is unique in numerous aspects. Some kids are just naturally shy, while others are more gregarious.
Additionally, I have come to understand how perceptive children are, quickly picking up on words and routines among other things. Through watching the video, I also learned how crucial it is to let children explore and open up on their own, without any pressure to play with others. As well as to let them express themselves freely. Creating a secure space and atmosphere in your classroom is also essential to help the children feel more comfortable.
