Parneet Badesha

Process I have made during this past week:

● I did some more reading and researching
● I watched a whole bunch of videos
● Looked through a few more possible activities I could try
● I started reading about psychology statistics

What I need to move forward with my capstone(time, space, materials, contacts)

● Research and reading will continue
● Exploring psychology more
● Find more online articles to read
● Continue watching more videos to learn
● Get any materials needed for activities
● Trying to do some activities

Obstacles I have encountered and how I’ve moved forward:

● Staying on task, some days I didn’t do anything, causing me to work extra for the next
day
● I need to try to focus and keep to my schedule in order to not feel over weighed with
work on specific days
● Understanding psychology statistics, it took me a while to actually understand how they
work and how you do them, I’m still trying to figure them out, but I do have a little idea
of what is suppose to be done

Obstacles I can foresee in my next steps:

● Being able to try any psychology statistics, since I only have one participant I won’t
actually be able to do an actual lab or find any stats
● But I will still be learning about psychology statistics
● Trying the activities to see possible results, may be hard to get the participant to
cooperate with me

The skills I’ve used and what I’ve learned:

● I’ve so far just used reading skills to understand and gain more knowledge about the
particular subject
● Also that there are some really interesting activities you can try with children that can be
very helpful in their development
● I’ve learnt some interesting things about certain things that may affect child development.
For example, you shouldn’t be yelling or saying things to kids that may be slow learners,
like when they are 2-3 years old and still don’t talk, some children are slow learners.
 Whatever you say to them affects them mentally, and they start to lose confidence and
feel low self worth.
● From videos I’ve watched I have began to get a better understanding on child
development - Visual learning skills

My goals and deadlines for the next week:

● Continue reading my books and possibly finish one of them by next saturday
● Continue researching by watching videos and reading articles
● Start a few activities, write down results, check out others results online, to try to
understand why I got the certain results from the child, and find more ways to help with
development
● Also continue reading the book I borrowed from the library on psychology statistics

My evidence of progress.
● I’ve started watching a documentary web series called Babies on netflix, it’s very
interesting, I plan to continue watching it
