You must include documentation in your final project submission.).

4. During the informal conversation/interview, use the questions on the Gathering Information from Family Handout as a guide to make connections between the child you are observing and your understanding of the child’s development in the context of his/her family in the three designated domains. This process will help you to make connections between the child you are observing and your understanding of the child’s development. Y ou may have to ask additional questions to get complete information. Be sure to read through the questions prior to the interview for your own understanding.  (Use the Gathering Information from Families Handout. Also, provide the family with the Foundations for Families Resource document which includes information about the child’s learning and developmental age.
