Question 1

Can you recall how any adults described your own development as you grew up?

Accepted Answer

By using our "lens of development" we tend to see the children in a very detailed way and attempt to notice as much as possible about every aspect of their abilities and physical characteristics according to each of the developmental domains. These observations aid us to better understand "who" the child is above and beyond the physical development and the behaviours that we can directly observe. We can enter the child's world through participatory observation or observe from a distance. Research aids us in uncovering why children behave the way they do. Using the "lens of development" helps educators to better understand attachment, self-regulation, emotional expression, social relation social learning, and play behaviours.
