him, I also brought a printed-out copy of a character in one of the books he loves to read,

own decision of whatever color he would like to use. In this case, I only did the experience
with him and not with a group.

It was similar to how he responded during the previous experience done with him. In this
experience, I kept asking him about the colors of the crayons he picks although he couldn’t
answer me straightaway because he was so focused on coloring, I could see he would still try
his best when I ask him again. It may be because it was only the two of us in this experience
and my attention was only for him but nonetheless, he did a great job with the activity we did.
In this activity, child’s hand-eye coordination was developed and practiced. It showed how he’s
capable of holding the crayons on his hand without having a hard time and started coloring the
photo without any assistance. The colors and lines he made in the photo showed he’s slowly
improving his hand muscles. For his cognitive skills, he was also able to answer the questions I
asked him as he was familiar with the story, “Jack and the Beanstalk”. When we started talking
about the colors, he’s shown me how he’s familiar with some of those.

Providing a summary of the conversation:
It was when child and another peer wanted to use the same toy, which the peer got first.
Me: Child, you need to wait before you get your turn since your friend got it first.
Child: No! My turn.
Me: Child, Remember, we need to wait before we get our turn. You can ask your friend nicely
that you will borrow it after he finishes playing with it instead of trying to snatch it. Do you
want him to snatch a toy from you?
Child: No… Me: See? So, we have to wait for our turn. Is that clear?
Child: Yes, then my turn. Me: Yes, that is right. What do you say to him?
Child: Sorry…
When the child is being asked questions, he would confidently answer them. A great example
was how he just kept saying “red” to the colour even when it was a different colour already.
On the other hand, when it is about the book he reads at home or a book he reads in the
service, he would sit down straightaway, look at the book and listen to you when you start
reading the story.
