This week was my first home visit to the infant’s home where
I will be working with her. The home visit went great as the children crowded
around to play with the little girl and her mom and I discussed where her
development is at. As her mother and I talked she discussed how she is 9 months
old and feels she is a little behind developmentally. While we went through the
ages and stages checklist it was clear that she was more around a 6 months
level rather than a 9 month. It will be great to see how she progresses as we
work on some motor development with her as well as separation anxiety.
While I did the case study on a girl names Serena in the
book, I realized that some of her motor movements will help me with the infant
I will be visiting this semester. I really tried to focus on her as I planned the
lesson for my case study.
Working with the infant I have been assigned, I would like to allow her the opportunity to explore her world as she develops her gross motor muscles.
“As children develop, they become increasingly more capable
of acting on their world. With the help of supportive adults, young children
learn to address their needs in more sophisticated ways with increasing independence.”
