Summary of Week 6

  • Observation is an umbrella term that covers all the different ways that information can be gained about what a baby or toddler can do.
  • Use as many different observation and recording techniques as possible to gain a clear picture of a baby or toddler’s skill and interests, so you can best support their learning and development.
  • Reflective practice helps you to understand your responses and reactions, and use this to improve the experiences and support provided for the babies and toddlers you work with.
