Particularly in childhood, a model is someone of authority or higher status in an environment. In animals, observational learning is often based on classical conditioning , in which an instinctive behavior is elicited by observing the behavior of another (e.g. mobbing in birds), but other processes may be involved as well.
Psychoanalytic infant observation generally involves a weekly observation over a two-year period of an infant soon after birth and until their second birthday. Trainees normally undertake the observation in the home setting for one hour per week at the same time in the week, to fit in with the family's schedule.
The most current form of the schedules comes from the Gesell Institute of Child Development and is known as the Gesell Developmental Observation-Revised for ages 2 ½ to 9 years. [2] This assessment uses the principles of the schedules to determine the developmental age & stage of an any given child.

Passes toy to other hand when offered a second object (referred to as "crossing the midline" – an important neurological development).
Early childhood is a stage of rapid growth, development and learning and each child makes progress at different speeds and rates. [13] It is essential to integrate physical training designed in accordance with the anatomical characteristics andage-related characteristics of a child's development, to ensure the normal physical development of ...
