Observation promotes learning The recent picture of the annual Red Bluff Round-Up Parade brought positive memories to my mind. The first R.B. parades I wit- nessed were before the days of tele- vision, the people lined observers were enjoying each and every group marching by. Main Street as well as other streets was always loaded with people. They positioned their lawn chairs and blankets to reserve for family and friends who joined the crowd. Most observers had smiling faces for the parade enter- tainment. Many years ago, again before TV came into the world as enter- tainment, families in Red Bluff used to entertain their children by buying them an ice cream cone at Frank’s Creamery and sitting on Main Street while eating the ice cream. Why sit on Main Street? To watch people, those who made a habit of walking down town in the evening for entertainment, many getting ice cream cones and stopping to talk to each other. It was during those balmy evenings that I came to be a regular observer of people. Some were dressed up just for an evening walk; other’s still wore the day’s work clothes. The children with them were always urging their parents to get to Frank’s for an ice cream or running back and forth with other children while their parents visited with each other. I mostly sat in our car and watched as I ate. Believe it or not I was a bit shy but enjoyed the street antics. I learned that most of the time the parents were not yelling at their kids and had a "kids will be kids" positive atti- tude. I learned that my Mom and Dad loved visit- ing with the grown-ups. That early experience of being a "people watcher" or an observer as it is now called gave me a lot of early insight into the make- up of individual persons, adults or kids. I was always curious about others and the way they lived their lives. Perhaps that is why I still enjoy being an observer of adults and children. Observing how each and every child in my preschool classes dis- plays their own likes, dislikes and learning interests is fascinating. I learn daily, the new interests and personalities of each and every child which makes my lesson plan- ning smoother. There is a new book out supported by the National Asso- ciation of Education for Young Children; "The Power of Observa- Carolyn Barber tion." This powerful book gives an in-depth presen- tation of the value of reg- ular, documented obser- vance of the actions of young children. A quote from the book is a good definition of the value; "Observing isn’t just about what children do. It is watching them from the outside with the pur- pose of trying to under- stand what they are feel- ing and experiencing on the inside." Observing provides a tool for understanding human beings; it helps one tune into the special qual- ities of each person and builds a positive relationship. Observation can make knowing others personal- ly and intellectually satisfying. Building on my first regular obser- vations on Main Street, Red Bluff, I have acquired rich insights into the make-up children and adults alike. Thanks Mom and Dad the back- ground for such valuable evening observations. Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992. It appears on Saturdays.
