Avoid judgmental statements (i.e. That little boy was bad.).

Based on your observations (what you saw and heard), what would you say (infer) about the child (ren)s development?

Section III. Theorist (SS4):
Choose a theory/theorist (i.e. Piaget, Vygotsky, Erikson, Skinner, Bronfenbrenner, etc.) and include a discussion on how this theory would explain what you have observed about the child (ren)s behavior and development.
