Your careful observations may help you find a way to better involve a withdrawn child in your child care program. You might notice that when the child hears music he moves closer to the group. You can use this information to plan some appealing music activities that may be interesting enough to draw the child into participating.
It is best not to force a withdrawn child to participate, so finding activities that are exciting can be very helpful.
You might share this observation with the parent. Find out what music the child enjoys at home, and maybe use it in an activity for all the children. This might start a great conversation between you and the parent about what other things their child enjoys. You can use this information to help build your connection with the child.
Observation is a valuable tool for solving your child care problems. Learning to be a good observer can help you find real solutions that create a successful child care for each and every child.
