GENERAL PHYSICAL
DEVELOPMENT LEVEL
ACCORDING TO SNOWMAN
The child that I was observing did not display any jealousy
towards his classmates when they were getting praised for
their accomplishments. He also didn't fight for the affection
and attention from his teacher during the activity but did
want attention from his classmates. Lastly, during the class,
his mother had to step in and let him know that he needs
to pay attention, and he got emotional and started crying.
