For this paper, I want you to go out and observe some children with the goal of seeing a developmental concept in action.You can study infants, children, or adolescents. You may choose to report on only one or any number of the children you observe. If you know a childthrough a friend, neighbor, or relativefeel free to observe him or her with their parents agreement. Otherwise, you can observe children in a public place as long as you are inconspicuous. In other wordsdont stalk or interact with children you dont know!Good places to observe: Playgrounds, parks, shopping centers, ice cream shops, toy stores, etc. In your paper, (1) identify the concept or phenomenon you think you observed; (2) briefly describe the conditions of your observation (where were you?, who were you observing?, etc.); (3) tell exactly what you saw and (4) explain how the behavior you observed exemplifies the concept you identified. Also note your reactions to the observation. Was it what you expected? Was it consistent in every way with what you had learned in class? Did your observation give you any additional insight? In Addition to your observations, you will find at least THREE peer-reviewed journal articles that will tie into your understanding of development. Use these articles to provide current insight on our understanding of child development, stages of development etc.Your paper should be 5-7 pages, not including the cover sheet or references page and must be done in APA format.
