Hi everyone, haven't use site in a while. Please can i get some help with this question. Why do you need to be objective when assessing children? Why do you do repeat observations on the child? Thanks in advance as i need to get this unit sign off.:dizzy:

- leads to reliable results
- helps evaluate fairly
- helps understand why children behave the way they do
- view all children the same way and respond to them equally

thanks basia.but can it be in more details as i still don''t quite get it and is it for both questions. sorry to be a pain, anymore help please will really be appreciated. thanks

We must be objective so we are not assuming things...e.g because a child is smiling doesn't always mean they are happy they could be nervous..... a child may be looking bored but is really just thinking about something . We shouldn't write that a child was enjoying an activity but write " they were smiling or laughing".

If we repeat observations we may see things we didn't notice before, the child may react differently, may have developed the skill we were looking at.

Thanks so much Ray really appreciated.
