The child I chose to write this assignment on it is 6 years old, which means grade 1. He lives with both of his parents and has a sister who is 15 years old and a brother who is 7 years and a half. He owns a labrador dog named Mambo. He loves to play soccer and hockey besides playing Wii with all his family and watching action movies. He attends to church about 5 times a year, usually during Christmas Eve, New years and in his family members birthday.
During the interview, the child became distracted quite often, though was yet able to answer all this questions. Although, he seemed confused during explaining some of them like “What’s God thinking now”, still he was likewise sure about a part of them, As he try to explain that in some way God see's the best on us. The Indicated job helped me realize, how kids his age think, plus he made it not that difficult to have the requirements needed to achieve this project. This Boy was pleased to do this interview, and he tried his best to answer all those questions.
The questions he was most able to comment with the greatest detail were “ What is God like” in addition to “What does God do” as in both of this questions he gave long answers, he seemed sure about them plus was saying them without a doubt. In the both questions his response was quite similar, He says God is here to protect everyone, to help the sick people and most important that he cares about everyone. I assume this only because the child comes from a catholic family where they have taught him God’s values he has faith in God.
At some point during the interview the child contradict himself, just as soon as asked, What happens when someone die, he looked confused and said several responses about it. The response I decide to write after all was when he said that good people will go to heaven with him. Guessing it is quite normal as he is pretty young to know or think about this, but the boy kept trying to justify the question While I know it was not required while I was doing a pause he grabbed the paper and asked why that questions were crossed. So I decided to ask him. I consider one of the features that will enrich this analysis will be for him to have given more detail in every question, but as we know he is only 6 years old, therefore, of course I was not expecting long, high structured phrases.
The purpose of this essay was to observe the everyday experiences a child has and how it is an illustration of theories and concepts of child development. To also have a better understanding of how these theories and concepts take important role in the child’s life. The observation took place in the child development classroom. The children observed were, Joshua at fourteen months old, Roman at twenty-one months old, Elizabeth at twelve months old, and Jayden at twenty-eight months old.
...e (My Virtual Child). Dominic is able to read a few short words, write his name and most of the letters in the alphabet. The results also mentioned that he is at an age appropriate level of phonological awareness and his language development is average in vocabulary and retelling a story (My Virtual Child). Cognitively, Dominic is not interested in little art projects and becomes frustrated when he works with blocks and shapes. Dominic is also behind mathematically when counting, identifying quantitative relationships and classifying objects (My Virtual Child). The parenting questionnaire suggests that we are slightly above average in affection and warmth; and we are in the top 15% concerning control and discipline.

A Scientific Understanding of God Two eighteenth century movements, the Enlightenment and the Great Awakening, changed American colonists’ views on reason and wisdom. The Enlightenment, led by philosophers such as John Locke, emphasized abstract thought to acquire knowledge. The European and American thinkers’ research led to a greater understanding of scientific phenomena and the questioning of the government’s rule. Similar to the Enlightenment, the Great Awakening changed colonists’ mode of thought through the concentration of emotion rather than wisdom. Reverend Jonathan Edwards, a Great Awakening revivalist, emphasized seeking salvation by recognizing one’s own moral corruption and surrendering to God’s will. Although the Great Awakening challenged religious, social and political orthodoxy, the Enlightenment had a greater impact on colonial America and vastly influenced future decisions. The Great Awakening reached a large quantity of people because of the traveling orators that preached the evangelical word. Although Enlightenment learning was limited to the wealthy, educated colonists, the movement’s influence was still stronger because the well-to-do ruled the land. Enlightenment philosophers began questioning corrupt governments and the combination of church and state. John Locke claimed that because the people created a government, then civilians could change the run of the government. This belief, perhaps, was the most influential to colonial society. Educated and powerful political leaders began questioning their government under British rule, therefore, igniting dreams of independence. The Enlightenment theory added to the oppression of British rule led to a revolution. Although not as significant as the Enlightenment, the Great Awakening still had a deep impact on colonial society. Primarily, the conflict that arose between the religious revivalists and ultimately ended in a split in the evangelical group changed the face of religion in the British colonies. The New Light revivalists spawned such denominations as Baptist and Methodist, which differed in the old lights beliefs in doctrine and matters of faith. These new sects resulted in a stronger tolerance toward religious diversity. Also, because revivalists preached mainly to backcountry people who had no religious affiliation, the emphasis on emotion rather than wisdom gave less-educated people a feeling of self-worth. These new freethinking converts gained the strength to begin questioning social and political order. The movements of the Enlightenment and the Great Awakening mainly produced a new mode of thought for American colonists.
For that, I interviewed my boss, Karen. I see her almost every work day but there were still many things I wanted to ask her about. I knew that she had been married to a man before she met her wife, and that she still had his last name even after separating and remarrying. I also knew that her father was a Methodist minister and performed her marriage ceremony back when he could’ve gotten in a lot of hot water for doing so. I knew that she was adopted, too. But the rest of her life, the in-between moments, were still a mystery to me. So, I really enjoyed that interview. As you can tell from the transcription, we laughed a lot and got along well. I think she felt comfortable and she told me later that she had enjoyed talking with me. I also came more prepared and with more questions. It was hard to do my initial research on my student interviewee because there wasn’t a lot of prior information that I could find about her. With Karen, I not only had my own prior information, but she is also easily found on the internet. A lot of that has to do with her age and the businesses she has been involved
The following was an interview conducted by Ezra William, the individual that was participated was Justin Kelly. In doing this interview, JK was asked multiple questions that and to do with his interests and family.
The interview can have many difficulties and can lead to children placing fallacious charges onto a person, depending on how the interview is performed. Some of the problems with the interviews are leading questions, and interaction between an interviewer and the child. An interviewer can actually cause a child to become confused in the way they remember things if they do not ask questions in an appropriate way. The interview br...
Middle childhood is the time where children start to fully develop their skills. They develop their comprehension skills, communication skills, and many more. In order to get a better look into the life of children during this stage, I decided to observe my niece’s friend, Ryan, who is almost at the end of her middle childhood stage. Ryan is an eleven year old girl who attends Bassett Elementary. I choose to observe Ryan because, she is a very unique girl who does not always fit into what the average girl her age is like.
The school also offered developmental assessments that Seth and I take advantage of. The teacher found that Jeffrey was doing well with the peer group. He had even made several little friends. He also showed age-appropriate understanding of phonological awareness and the teacher recommends we continue reading and writing activities to help him prepare for literacy activities in kindergarten. He had no difficulty in adapting to “practice” kindergarten activities and was generally cooperative, avoided getting distracted, and stayed on task. He performed in the average range on tests of vocabulary and the ability to retell a story. He showed advanced ability to count, use numbers, understand quantitative relationships and classify objects. Jeffrey was fairly interested in the art projects that the teachers and students participated in and enjoyed the pre-math activities. Seth and I also completed another parenting questionnaire. We ranked in the top 15% in terms of affection and warmth and slightly above average in terms of discipline and
The biblical narrative is one that is still going on to this day. The biblical narrative tells the story of God and how he reveals himself to us. Rhodes points out that “God comes to each through a historical event or series of events” (2). It is in this way that God reveals himself to us and this maintains the relevance of the biblical narrative in our lives. God reveals himself through formative stories in the bible such as Creation, Adam and Eve, the Fall of Man, The Flood, God’s Covenant with Noah, and the Tower of Babel. From the very beginning of the biblical narrative we see that God relates to us on a personal level. He created us, he formed us, he created the world in which we live, and he has been an active participant in the narrative since before it began.
The documentary looks at all these skills and qualities that are being built every day as a child grows, family influences and character difference within the different age groups and having a better understanding to how children develop in different situations.
The child that I selected to observe through the course of this semester is a Caucasian female. Her name is “R.” She was born on April 24, 2013.

At this stage, she exhibits uncertainty with strangers and other people she recalls but has not physically seen in a period of time. Some of “R”'s favorite activities include tossing objects, mirroring actions and movements, music, a...
