Software titled Chaperone will do this for a reasonable cost.\n\nIt's not a substitute to parental supervision, but it does the job nicely when duties prevent that.

1) Have them watch TV or something.  Talk to them a lot, directly to their face, so they know to look at you.\n\n2) It depnds on what they are looking at.  Make sure it is something that they enjoy doing.  If it envolves communication, look at them when speaking.\n\n3) Motor skills as in walking?  Just guide them and walk around the house.  If you have a pet, like a cat or dog, they could follow the pet.  Put on music and maybe he/she will dance.  Try different things and see what works.

This is an interesting question worth exploring. My main answer is that whatever you guys agree on that it be consistant. The children need to know what to rely on.\n\nIf you want to know of any studies then drop by your local college psychology department. Then, see if you can talk to a psychology instructor or someone in the psych department. And/or visit someone in the Teaching and human development department. \n\nThis would be a good study and a good exercise to go through. Whatever you do, MAKE SURE BOTH PARENTS get adequate quality time with the children. Do what's best for the child rather than looking for an argument to get your way. Remember again, be consistant and loving in a positive relationship. Negotiation is the key. The child needs to see cooperation between both parents.

Any Preschool teacher who wants to keep track of her children should assess each and every one. The key to a successful assessment first and foremost is that it should be age appropriate. At Head Start we have a time line of assessments to keep up with each individual child's known skills and those they need to work according to their needs and those of the federal and state governments.\nThese assessments measure their language skills, number and letter concepts, social skills, hygiene, small and gross motor skills, social-emotional level, color and shape recognition to name a few. Input is also gathered from the parents to assist the teacher in assessments and the teacher has parent conferences to let parents know the child's strengths and become aware of areas that need more attention.

depends, but they will likely do clinical interviews, interview people who know you, give you various personality/psychopathology/IQ/parenting assessments, such as the MMPI-2 and WISC-IV, and maybe observe you with your children.

Cognitive development generally deals with the ability to solve problems, though for a one-year old this can be as simple as recognizing faces or objects.\n\nPsychosocial development is more difficult to pin down for a one-year old since it involves interpersonal relationships.  At this point his primary relationship is with his parents, so you can test his ability to respond to stimuli coming from one or both of his parents.

Try the psychological approach called transactional analysis, the parent adult child model by Eric Berne, it really is effective!!!! Psychology is an amazing tool to help with human behaviour, relationships and communication! Start with a simple book to introduce you to psychology, then progress to others. You will be glad that you did.\nI wish you all the best! :o)\nI am a psychology graduate.

I don't know but it seems nowadays they diagnose any hyperactivity or problem behavior in kids as ADHD.  Why don't you ask this in the "Mental Health" category?

you could look at our national curriculum attainment targets.. but I don't think you would be any more clued up. \nI would try to put what you want in kid language ie/communication, knowledge and understanding etc, and then think about how well they have done it. \nThat way, you and they understand it.
