Child Development I expect to see when taking a 3 year old shopping.

Gross motor skills expected

Faseeha will use her gross motor skills a lot I in this activity because she has to walk about a lot. Usually Faseeha has a pram in the car in case she gets tired but I have decided that she is not even going to take the pram in the car because I want to see how long Faseeha can walk for. I think Faseeha will get tired quite quickly and will want to sit down and refuse to get up and will want someone to pick her up or she will want us to get her a pram because she is not used to walking for a long time. I think Faseeha will hop in the squares on the floor in the shopping mall and try to play hop scotch inside them. I think Faseeha will be scared to go on the escalators but when she sees everyone going on them she will try to go on them as well. I think Faseeha gross motor skills will be al right for her average age.

Sensory skills expected

I think Faseeha sensory skills will have improved quite a lot since the last activity because there will be a lot of ways she can use her 5 senses for example she will be able to touch cloths and toys, she will be able to smell food, she will be able to hear people, see shops.  When Faseeha sees a shop that she likes she will point towards it and say that she wants to go in it. I think Faseeha’s sensory skills will be right for her average age.

Intellectual skills expected

Faseeha’s intellectual skills will also be tested in this activity.  When we get out of the car I am going to test Faseeha by leaving her hand if Faseeha runs away it that means she does not understand what is safe for her and what is dangerous for her. I think Faseeha will run away because she might still not understand what is safe for her and what is dangerous for her. Faseeha intellectual skills will also be tested in the crown. When  we get in the shopping mall it is going to be crowded so if she leaves my hand she does not know that she will get lost but if she leaves my hand she know that she will get lost. I think Faseeha’s intellectual skills will be average for her age of three years.

Language skills expected

I think Faseeha’s language skill will be quite good in this activity because she will stop using telegraphic sentences and will have learned how to talk in an adult’s speech. During visit 2 and 3 Faseeha did not ask many questions but I think in this visit she will ask lots of questions and will want an answer to every single one of them. I think Faseeha will ask questions like Why is this shop over here? I think Faseeha will know be able to use large vocabulary and will be able to use a few large words. Faseeha might give good descriptions about what something looks like for example This is pink like a pig. This sentence is good for Faseeha’s average age because she has described what she thinks it looks like.

Social skills expected

I think Faseeha’s behaviour will be quite good during this activity because she usually loves to go shopping. She will not want to waste her time misbehaving she will want to spend more time shopping.  If I don’t lisen to what Faseeha does she might try to run away and do it herself for example if I refuse to go in a shop that she wants to go in she will run away and go in it by herself.  To make sure Faseeha does not mis behave I will have to lisen to what she says only if it is appropriate. Overall I think Faseeha’s behaviour will be quite good in the shopping centre.

Emotional skills expected

I think Faseeha will use her emotional skills quite a lot but mostly in a good way for example if she likes something  and she is allowed to buy it she will get really excited about it and to express her excitement she will jump around and laugh. But at the same  time if we refuse to buy her something she will cry and have a tantrum. I think Faseeha will be able to walk around the shop buy herself and she will know that we are not going to leave her there by herself. Overall I don’t think Faseeha will have temper tantrums ans she will have outgrown from separation anxiety.
