Ethnography

Preoperational Stage: This child is mature enough to concentrate on his nanny and the cell phone, while also owning the motor skills to reach out and grab it. Why would he want to grab it? Because like everything in the world (at this point in his development), everything belongs to him. "It's mine!" His mother happened to also be in the park so before I took the photos of the little guy I explained who I was, what I was doing, and then I asked for permission. The mother quickly morphed from apprehensive to excited to hear about such a project and the description of the class.
