Introduction to Child Study.

        Mica lives in a two bed-roomed flat in West Bowling with her mother Favel aged 29 and her father Chris aged 33. Mica as her own bedroom with a standard single bed which used to have a safety guard on. Most of her toys are kept in her bedroom; she also has a television and video player in her room with a wide range of videos to watch. Mica has no siblings so that is why it is good that her mother put her into nursery from a young age to get used to the prospect of sharing with others of the same age. When she was one, she went along to a playgroup with her mother for a few hours a day at the venue of the nursery. Then at the age of two, she was put in nursery whilst both parents went out to work. She usually plays in her bedroom or in the living room, as it is quite a small flat. They are hoping to move into a house with garden for her to play in. Mica has her name down at the local primary school ready to start at the age of five.

        There is a local park for her to go to with an adult and her mother has a car so they go out places. In addition, there is a local shop and supermarket in the case anything is needed. Mica knows her full name and age but has not yet learnt her address all she knows is the number as it is on the door.

        Mica’s physical development is quite advanced but not too much as she had no garden to play in on bikes etc so she as not learnt how to ride a bike. For Christmas, she is getting a two-wheeled scooter to learn to ride. Her emotional development is clear as she often shows signs of fear and excitement in different situations. She does not like to be left alone in a room especially with the door closed. Her intellectual development is good, she knows most differences and remembers names, places, and people. Mica also remembers where she saw someone or where someone works or lives. Her social development is gradually building because of the fact she is attending a nursery throughout the day with other children around her own age. Mica can also throw terrible mood swings and be very disobedient. She often gives her mother cheek when she is shouting at her and sometimes Mica hits her mother when she is being told off.
