  15. Why do we observe Children? • To gain a deeper understanding of children; how they think and feel, how they can be expected to grow and behave. • To get to know a specific child better– the child's needs interests, skills, problems, and feelings. • To assess where a child is developmentally and make comparisons with other children that same age.
