The Two Year Old: At home & nursery

User Notes

£89.00

 

This comprehensive production provides observation sequences that illustrate all areas of child development. Filmed throughout the whole year of a two year old girl’s life, it consists of 24 sequences, during which time she starts nursery.

These sequences give a rounded, holistic view of development over time. Being able to observe through out a whole year gives a real feel of what this child is like, how she likes to play and how she learns.

The same sequences can be used to observe her interactions with close adults giving examples of good practice from both her mum and her key person at nursery

The background information in the accompanying notes makes it easy to choose an appropriate sequence for your purpose. A list of points to be seen in different developmental areas is included for each sequence. The adult involvement is also detailed.
