Child Development Observations and Theories Make-Up

Jamie, a four-year-old child, has recently started attending preschool. On the first day, Jamie is observed clinging to a parent and crying during the drop-off. However, within a few weeks, Jamie begins to engage with peers and participate in group activities. The teacher notices that Jamie often plays a game of 'house' where Jamie takes on the role of a caregiver, mimicking actions observed at home, such as pretending to cook and clean. Jamie also shows an interest in drawing and can spend a considerable amount of time focused on this activity, often ignoring distractions around. When it's time to clean up, Jamie struggles with transitioning from playtime to the next scheduled activity and occasionally has tantrums.

As the school year progresses, Jamie's teacher introduces a new set of educational toys designed to enhance problem-solving skills. Jamie is initially hesitant to engage with these unfamiliar toys. However, after observing a close friend successfully complete a puzzle, Jamie's attitude changes, and the child begins to attempt the puzzles with enthusiasm. One day, Jamie's friend is absent, and Jamie is observed to be less confident in approaching the puzzles. The teacher also notices that Jamie is now able to transition between activities with less difficulty and without emotional outbursts, showing an improvement in emotional regulation.
