The Answer is The techniques we use to get to know other adults are the same techniques we can use to get to know children. We may watch others from afar. We will notice things about their appearance, what they do and what they say. We will ask questions and listen to their answers. All these techniques are observational strategies used informally. Using these techniques in an informal basis, allows the observer to practice the skills, get comfortable with them in comfortable settings. By doing this the observer will have a baseline of skills and knowledge of the child, and can then move forward to observe the child in more depth, or for a specific reason.
