When - would be when you are planning for that child, you would know what area that you were planning learning for a child, but when it comes to providing the activity or resources, by speaking with a child, you are allowing them input and they are sharing their interests and ideas.
We may have one idea of an activty, but a child may have other ideas and take it off in a differnt direction, so by listening to them, you can provide the resources to suit their needs.

From observations, you may have noticed something that you were unaware of before, i.e. you may have noticed that they were just getting to the stage where they'd like a friend, but they are not sure how to go about it - it's all new to them, they've never made one before, it's a skill they have to learn and acquire. Before they may have been content to observe or play alongside others, but now they want to join in, interact and they are not sure how to go about it.
From your observations, you can help and plan in various ways. You may decide to provide an activity with the other child/ren they want to play with i.e. a board game, using a programmable toy to work and cooperate together, or you may include yourself to help a child develop new skills i.e. you are at the cafe roleplay and are a customer, you interact with this child and the others and encourage them to interact together. You may find that after a couple of minutes, they are into their role play and you are able to move elsewhere. The other children may not have been aware that the other children was 'new' to making friendship and they've just carried on their play and included them.

So you talk and seek views to suit their needs and interests.
