Documentary Subject

Documentary Subject: Tyler

This is my son, Tyler who continues to grow into a human being everyday. He is currently 2 years old and will be turning 3 in May, 2016. His interests are painting, playing with toys such as Thomas the Train and Hot wheels, watching Disney movies, singing and interacting with letters and numbers. I could use my son as a documentary subject focusing on child development of a toddler. Not only for his development skills but also to tap into the brain of a rapid growing toddler of how they socially interact, verbals skills, and how their mind works. It would be interesting to actually see through video the different emotions and reactions that toddlers face everyday and what triggers certain behavior. Also to compare results with other toddlers his age too, would be another intriguing aspect of child development.
Ten questions I would ask my son during an interview, which in this case would be more of an interaction process would be the following:
1. Do you know which letter this is? (Holding up flash cards or foam letters)
2. Do you know what number this is? (Same as above)
3. Can you say your ABC's?
4. Can you count to the number ten?
5. Can you tell me about your day today?
6. Who am I?
7. What is your name?
8.  Which animals are these? (as we look through his discover animal books)
9. Can you tell me what color this is? (looking through color book)
10. Do you know what this object is? (holding up flash cards)

These are all simple questions that can be used from an educational view point and his child development according to his age to see where he falls in that category but also to capture the thought process of a toddler.
