Observations - what are they for and why do we do them?

Here the Beckies talk about why we observe, and what we can find out by watching and listening. Observations are always our staring point and our foundations to understand the child.  There are not a magic number of observations, Observations can be viewed and acted upon, they do not need to always be written.  The paperwork you do use should be meaningful and discover more about the child. Parents and families adding to observations and journeys is fabulous, how do we include this in our practice. What do we do with the observations once they are done?  Come and join us on this journey and discover an easier route to understanding early years and where to go next.How do we help to tell the child's story - where is their next step going to lead to.                                        Come and join our community of  amazing early years head over to www.thrivinglanguage.co.uk subscribe for free. You can find our podcasts on Apple, Spotify and Buzzsprouts You can email us on [email protected] Head to  www.thrivinglanguage.co.uk to discover more with The Beckies.Training for educators, key note speakers and workshops, one to one sessions for speech language and communication  play sessions for children and families.Publications Routledge:Speech Language and Communication in the Early YearsSpeech Language and Communication for Healthy Little MindsEmail [email protected] you for listening and being part of this awesome Thriving community who empower all children to be understood. Love The Beckies
