, and although though she sometimes enjoys play with dolls, she has taken a particular interest in make – up and high heels since she was two. She can dress herself and would spend often ages picking particular clothing which suits her liking. This has discombobulated me as her mother does not and is in no way interested in wearing high heels and cosmetics. According to http://www.webmd.com/parenting/guide/4-to-5-year-old-milestones, a child of Kaihanna's age should be becoming more independent and self confident which shows that she is achieving her milestones. .
Home and Local Area .
Kaihanna lives in Carshalton in Sutton with her parents and three older brothers. They live in a two bedroom house with Kaihanna sharing a room with her three older brothers and her parents in the other room. They have one small bathroom upstairs and another downstairs. Their garden is suitable and big enough for all the children to play in. Her family do not live near their extended family. Their home is clean and well cared for and is considered safe and secure. Their home is in close proximity of Kaihanna's school where she attends nursery. There are two parks within walking distance which Kaihanna can play in, one with a big field where according to Kaihanna's mum, likes to play football with her brothers. This encourages her gross motor skills. The other park is a children's play area where according to her mum Kaihanna can make friends very easily which is an advantage for her as it is part of her social development.
Family Background.
Kaihanna was three when her parents finally got her to sleep in her own bed instead of a cot. Her parents were going to call her Chantelle but changed it when they found out another relative was going to call their child Chantelle. Kaihanna's nickname is Kasey. .
Kaihanna enjoys reading and sometimes makes up her own stories which help with her language skills, early literacy skills as it sparks her imagination, stimulates curiosity and is a safe way for her to explore her emotions according to http://raisingchildren.
