Gross-motor development is the improvement of skills using the large muscles in both the arms and the legs

objects.

- Can carry large items while walking.

- Comes downstairs on bottom or abdomen.

- Seats self in small chair.

Anecdotal Record:

wilsonha — 2015-10-20 18:58:44 UTC

A student in the infant toddler daycare is about two years old. He is still developing gross motor and will mimic what others do. He has a particular interest in balls. If another child picks up a ball and throws it so will he. The teacher once picked up the ball and said “watch this.” She walked over to the slide and put the ball on the slide holding it in place. She asked him what he thought would happen if she let go of the ball. He did not answer. She let go of the ball and it slid down the slide. He got very excited and started to roll his ball down the slide as well.

Cognitive and Language Development

danielle_tangeman — 2015-10-21 01:40:51 UTC

Between twelve and twenty-four months, children start being able to:

-recognize self in photos and in the mirror

-use a specific word to gather more information about what things are in the world around them, for example "that?" meaning "what's that?"

-repeat actions that lead to results that they find interesting

-explore in other ways instead of putting everything in their mouths

-enjoy hiding objects and playing games that include finding the objects

-name many objects that they see and use everyday

-understand the relationship between objects

-pass objects from one hand to the other passing through their midline

-develop their vocabulary (saying two word sentences) ( by twenty-four months, a child should be able to say about twenty-five words)

-understand the concept of parts and whole

Physical Development: Fine Motor

2015-10-21 03:23:26 UTC

Fine Motor Development is the development of coordination in small muscle movements that usually involve the synchronization of hands and fingers with the eyes.

Between 12 and 18 months infants begin:

-Pointing with their index finger

-Cooperating with dressing (holds arms and legs out)

-Bringing spoon to mouth

-Building block towers with 2-4 cubes

-Practicing accurate release, such as placing objects into a similar sized hole

Between 18 and 24 months infants being:

-Spontaneous Scribbling

-Unwrapping toys

-Using a spoon properly

-Putting on and taking off shoes and socks

-Can draw and copy vertical lines (24 months typically)

Anecdotal Record: Gross Motor Physical Development

danielle_tangeman — 2015-10-21 03:43:29 UTC

A child took a soccer ball, placed it in front of him and kicked it straight to the teacher who was standing about four feet in front of him. He repeated this a few times. Not only does this show that he knew what the soccer ball is supposed to be used for, it also shows his gross motor ability to kick a ball straight ahead with enough force.

Anecdotal Record

danielle_tangeman — 2015-10-21 03:48:45 UTC

A child was playing with soft rings and a teacher placed one of them on his head to see if he could balance it. He shook the ring off and thought it was very funny. Now the child not only repeats this action constantly, he also tries to put other objects on his head so that he can shake them off. This is an example of a child repeating an action that elicits a result that they find interesting.

Video: Climbing furniture

danielle_tangeman — 2015-10-21 04:08:35 UTC

This video shows how toddlers begin learning how to manipulate their bodies to climb on everything as they start exploring the world in larger capacities.

Video: Kicking a soccer ball

danielle_tangeman — 2015-10-21 04:11:43 UTC

This video shows the control that children begin to have over their own bodies as they continue to develop.

Theory: from birth to twenty-four months, children are in the later substages of JeanPiaget's Sensorimotor stage:

danielle_tangeman — 2015-10-21 04:16:45 UTC

According to Piaget, the sensorimotor stage is characterized by the coordination of the senses with motor responses and children develop through this broad stage by passing through six substages. Children from 12-24 months old pass through substages five and six.

In the fifth substage of sensorimotor development, children learn tertiary circular reactions. This is when the child tries explore objects by putting them back together instead of taking them apart which they used to do.

In the sixth substage of sensorimotor development, children begin symbolic thought. This allows the children to make mental representations which leads to the development of object permanence. When babies reach this stage they often experience more separation anxiety since they know their parents still exist when they are not there and they miss them.

This video is an example of tertiary circular reactions.

Self recognition

danielle_tangeman — 2015-10-21 04:20:29 UTC

Children can recognize themselves in the mirror so some start enjoying dressing up and putting on funny hats.

Two word sentences

danielle_tangeman — 2015-10-21 04:25:29 UTC

The younger child in this video is working on developing his language by trying to communicate with "two word" sentences

Naming Objects

danielle_tangeman — 2015-10-21 04:31:59 UTC

This child can identify objects that she is familiar with.

Anecdotal Record:

danielle_tangeman — 2015-10-21 04:35:20 UTC

A child continually points to objects and says "look." By doing this he is asking the teachers "what is that?" He uses this word to gain joint attention on a certain object so that he can learn more about it.

Imatation

wilsonha — 2015-10-21 04:37:00 UTC

The twins in this video are learning to communicate by copying each other. You can hear them make similiar noises and imitate gestures

Fine Motor Development Video:

2015-10-21 04:39:25 UTC

Using a spoon with the finger muscles and eye coordination to put the spoon in the mouth.

Attachment and stranger anxiety

wilsonha — 2015-10-21 04:44:03 UTC

Children grow attachments to adults in their lives and become anxious about strangers

Theory: Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory

wilsonha — 2015-10-21 04:47:34 UTC

Vygotsky states that social interactions help children develop cognitively. Through interactions with others they learn speech and reasoning. Parents, siblings and other adults are key in helping children to understand society. Children learn through cultural influences

Fine Motor Skills and Art

wilsonha — 2015-10-21 04:56:20 UTC

Children have a harder time gripping onto pencils and paint brushes.

Theory: Erikson's Psychosocial Stages

danielle_tangeman — 2015-10-21 05:32:01 UTC

Trust vs. Mistrust (birth to 1.5 years old): In this stage children determine if they are able to trust the world depending on whether or not their basic needs are being met.

Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (1.5-3 years old): In this stage children learn to become independent and confident. A major milestone that occurs during this stage is toilet training which proves to the child that they are able to do things on their own.

Pulling off socks

danielle_tangeman — 2015-10-21 05:39:37 UTC

In this video, he is able to take off his sock which reinforces his fine motor development as well as supports his autonomy.

Cognitive and Language Development

danielle_tangeman — 2015-10-21 05:41:06 UTC

Anecdotal Record:

danielle_tangeman — 2015-10-21 05:45:19 UTC

A child picked up the paint brush with a full grip and dipped the brush in the paint. The child put a lot of weight onto the brush while putting it into the dish which had the paint in it. The child then lifted her arm and painted on the paper. The child continued to use her whole grip, and moved the paint brush back and forth on the paper as she watched it.

Anecdotal Record: Cognitive

danielle_tangeman — 2015-10-21 14:19:57 UTC

Although children are beginning to learn other ways to learn and explore a lot of children still put a lot of items in their mouth, especially liquid or sticky items like play dough or paint. One child is just over one year old and always scoops liquid up and drinks it. He does this with water, bubbles, and whatever else he finds. He knows a few words but right now he would rather keep putting things in his mouth than talk.

Theory: Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Developent

danielle_tangeman — 2015-10-21 14:39:36 UTC

Twelve to twenty-four month olds are in Stage 1 of the Pre-conventional Stage which is Punishment and Obedience. Children operate by doing things to avoid punishment, not just to do the right thing.

Sharing

danielle_tangeman — 2015-10-21 17:11:46 UTC

Children still have a hard time sharing toys and might need adult assistance to find another toy or mediate the conflict.
