CM Club: Can anyone help me plan an obs on 7m mindee? :)

[KaySamuels]

I have an nvq assessment on Monday, and I am observing baby's development. Baby is now rolling over onto front and back again, and trying to push herself up onto all fours.

So how can I plan observing her formally, and what written measures can I use to encourage her development. This is stuff I usually do informally and I am finding that trying to get it on paper my mind goes blank!

"Baby is now rolling over onto front and back again, and trying to push herself up onto all fours"

That seems a perfectly suitable observation to write down. You could then go on to say that you have xxx equipment which would encourage this or something similar to that, ie an inflatable rolling thing and by putting some toys a little further away to encourage mindee to try and move to get them.

Thanks SB, you're right! I keep getting brain freeze - still have loads of written course work to do too!
