Prepare for this discussion by selecting a case study and creating a developmentally appropriate activity that enhances each domain of development: cognitive, physical, and affective. Remember, "researchers and curriculum specialists also emphasize that growth and learning occur as an integrated process across multiple domains" (Gestwicki, 2011; Hull, Goldhaber, & Capone, 2002; Levine & Munsch, 2011, as cited in Jaruszewicz, 2013, section 4.1, para. 7). This means that you do not need to create three separate activities - just one or more activities that address multiple domains simultaneously. An example activity for this discussion is located in the Week Two Instructor Guidance.
Initial Post: Create a message that includes your activity or activities, making sure to include descriptions of each of the following:
The name and age of the child as indicated in the case study you chose.
A description of the setting the instruction will take place in (e.g., childcare center, classroom).
The goal of each activity, including which domain it is geared toward and the desired learning outcome.
The materials necessary to support student learning for the activity or activities.
The procedure for how the activity will be implemented. This section of your response must be at least one full paragraph, provide a substantial description of the procedure and be supported by at least one scholarly resource.
Case Study -Aimee
Based on The Early Childhood Direction Center developmental checklist, Amiee is developing normally in the areas of cognitive and affective development for a three month old.However, Aimee could use some assistance with her physical development. Specifically, Aimee needs more support with:

o Raising her head and cheek while lying on her stomach
o Supporting her upper body with her arms while lying on her stomach
o Pushing with her legs when her feet are placed on a firm surface
• Physical Development (fine motor skills)
o Opening and shutting her hands
Case Study - Trevor
Based on The Early Childhood Direction Center developmental checklist, Trevor is developing normally in the area of physical development for a six month old.While he explores toys by putting them in his mouth, he would benefit from additional assistance developing his cognitive skills. Also, while he seems to enjoy being around other people, there are other areas of affective development he would benefit from further assistance with. Specifically, Trevor needs more support with:
• Cognitive Development

o Finding partially hidden items
• Affective Domain
o Responding to other peoples expression of emotion
o Showing interest in mirror images
Case Study - Abby
Based on The Early Childhood Direction Center developmental checklist, Abby is developing normally in the area of cognitive development for an eleventh month old.In the area of physical development, Abby's fine motor skills are also on target as are many of her gross motor skills. Since Abby has recently started to walk, she would benefit from additional support with her physical development. There are also some areas within the affective domain of development that Abby could use further assistance with. Specifically, Abby needs further support with:
• Physical Development
o Pulling herself to a standing position
o Walking while holding on to furniture
o Standing momentarily without support
• Affective Development
o Separating from her caregiver without crying
o Repeating sounds or gestures for attention
Case Study - Bradley
Based on The Early Childhood Direction Center developmental checklist, Bradley is developing normally in the areas of physical and cognitive development for a two year old. While he can say several single words and recognize familiar people and items, Bradley would benefit from additional assistance in other areas of language development. Also, while Bradley is enthusiastic about playing with other children, he would benefit from additional assistance within the affective domain. Specifically, Bradley needs more support with:

o Following simple, one-step directions
o Repeating words overheard in conversations
• Affective Development
o Imitating the behavior of adults or children around him
o Separating from guardians
Case Study -Jenny
