Child_Psychild_Psyosocial_Development_Observation

The observation took place in the child’s house on Sunday at 05:08 pm .Her name is Parisa and she is 2 years and 3 months old .I was invited to the house with my friends, the girl was one of my friends’ niece I saw her for the first time. She seemed very happy and was smiling at the new people in the house. 05:15 pm I was observing her from a distance while her aunt was taking to her . Parisa was telling her about everything around them and pointed her little finger at all objects.” There is rain outside and there is a ball by the window and there is a flower in the vase”. She was saying without making a break in the sentences .”Really'” her aunt answered.” what else is there' Parisa kept showing her new toys in the room and got really excited when she was asked to tell about her toys and their names and what they were for” This is a cat and it has for and paws”. She said about a toy that looked like cat .”his name is Stacy”. her aunt looked like she was very interested in everything that she was shown and Parisa kept busy with taking out all of her toys from the box on the floor. After about 30 minutes of playing with her aunt 05:45 pm Parisa started telling everyone in the room including her parents to go home .”Parisa , said her mom, but we are already home and you are home tool where do you want us to go '”Home, home”, she kept saying .Her mother told us that she probably means going upstairs because that’s where her baby is, although she was resting at the time and would not be working for another couple of hours. Parisa was getting louder and demanded everyone to go home even after her mother told her to stop. We had to go upstairs and put her favorite cartoon on it was. ”The Lion King.” She seemed to be totally immersed in the cartoon, although she was leaning on her dad and did not allow him to move a bit. When he did she showed her disapproval by starting to cry . While watching the cartoon her mother managed to give her a bit of mineral water and she was not rejecting if although when she tried to do if downstairs Stacy said she did not want any . She willingly drank water from her bottle and watched the cartoon until the end. 06:00pm After the DVD was finished her father turned it off and put regular TV on . Parisa started crying loudly demanding” where is the lion '”,her mom was explaining that” we are going to watch a different kind of lion ,the one daddy wants to watch “First Parisa was shaking her head (her cheeks turned bright pink from crying and was repeating the same thing all over again, but than her mother started singing her favorite song from the movie and dancing to get Stacy involved . The girl reacted to dadd very quickly and started repeated the moves after her mother and smiling then she asked for some water. She was watching her mom taking water out of the refrigerator and pouring it into a special bottle. Her mother asked her to help screw that top of the bottle on which took Stacy some time and effort. Stacy looked impatient but she would not let it go until she almost did it herself, although with some help from her mom .When the were finished with water, Stacy started drinking with more interest than when she was watching cartoon, it look like from her bottle holding it tightly with both of her hands. While she was drinking she was standing near her mom was washing something in the sink “Common Parisa”, her mom said when she was finished and she follow her into the living room where everyone was seated on the couches. Among all the people she went up to her dad and climbed on the couch and sit right next to him. Her mom tried to sit next to her so that she would be in the middle between the two parents. When the mother put her hand over her to hug her husband ,Parisa pushed her arm away and said “it’s my daddy”. Her mom said “no daddy is mine”, and grabbed him by the arm and tried hugging him . Parisa cried ”no daddy is mine” and pushed the mom farther again .She later explain that it’s a sort of again that the play sometimes, when both of them fight over whose daddy is. Although the mother was not serious about it ,when she was hugging her husband. Stacy looked confused and her cheeks turned red immediately as she was going to cry. The mother allowed Parisa “to win” the game which made her look absolutely happy, she kept hugging her dad and smiling. When they finished the game, Parisa started backing up from the couch, she put one leg on the floor first and then the second one that’s now she got down from the couch facing all people sitting on it ,and went to the kitchen from there she said ,”water ,water, water” in a way that one could barely guess what she wanted ,but her mother got up and went to get her more water from the refrigerator ,she got her water and on the way to the living room from the kitchen that are almost connected to one another ,so it was seen very well she stopped by another box of toys and took out a couple of them.
