When he colors, he has some trouble staying in the lines still, but if he focuses on the picture he is shading, generally he can stay in line (Levine, 2011). Generally speaking, David has grown ordinarily in the physical perspective. His guardians recall that him meeting the normal points of milestone as a baby, and amid perceptions, obviously he is keeping on creating at a typical rate for a five year old kid.

From birth to two years old, David was in the sensorimotor phase of development, as per Piaget. This stage is additionally separated by this clinician into six sub stages. In light of perceptions of David as a five year old, it is accepted that he met each of these stages around the ordinary age that is normal. For the principal month, his reflexes were the most vital cooperation, and by four months, activities could be joined into one activity. Somewhere around four and eight months, David started connecting with outside objects, and before the end of his first year, he picked up article perpetual quality. When he was 18 months old, experimentation was energizing and he performed activities to see what happened. Piaget’s last stage, from eighteen to twenty four months, includes the child having the capacity to comprehend typical thought.

At five years of age, David has entered the preoperational stage where his utilization of typical intuition increments, yet despite everything he doesn’t have a consistent thought process.Conservation is an ability that David has not mastered yet at this age. At the point when demonstrated two containers of dirt which were distinctive sizes, yet held the same amount, David couldn’t see how they could both hold the same measure of dirt. Kids in the preoperational stage are additionally egocentric, and David has a troublesome time understanding what other kids in his class think or how they see a circumstance.

As a preschooler, David’s’ teacher portray him as easy going and calm. He coexists with his companions to a great degree well, and comprehends the requirement for sharing toys, books, or different materials.

Reflection

Observing at Manchester Early Learning Center was an extraordinary experience for me. I could perceive how kids communicate with their friends at the preschool stage. It was extremely intriguing to see how much the children changed and grow over the brief timeframe I spent observing them. David was such an incredible subject for my contextual analysis since he was energizing and always wanted to partake in classroom exercises. He played well with other kids furthermore got a kick out of the chance to help the teacher at whatever time she required somebody. His great behavior and comical inclination made him emerge from whatever is left of the class positively. Generally speaking, this experience was agreeable and instructive for me. I would like to utilize what I have learned later on as a teacher and as a parent to help me comprehend children better.
