Selected Child.

I have chosen to study the development of Sana because she is: -

  • Easily accessible as she lives close by and making visits would be easy.
  • I don’t see her often so noticing changes in her development would be easier than monitoring Josh or Zara who I see very often.
  • Sarah lives far away so making visits to see her will be very difficult.
  • I feel the age Sana is at will be an interesting age to observe.
  • To observe Josh and Sarah would be slightly difficult as they aren’t very sociable and rather quiet. They don’t mix very well with unfamiliar people and I feel this will make it harder for me to see their development clearly. I could study their social development but they don’t live near any playgroups or children’s social area so this would be difficult to study.
  • Sana is less shy around unfamiliar people so I think monitoring her development would be easier.
