Problem:
During the observation, the child (initials: J.L.) was playing with blocks of different colors on a soft rug in the living room. The room was lit with warm yellow light and there were family photos on the walls. Soft music was playing in the background, which created a calm atmosphere for play. At the beginning of the observation, J.L. picked up a red block, held it, and said "Red!" with a smile. As the blocks piled up, J.L. showed excitement, carefully placing a yellow block on top of a blue block, then clapping his hands and saying, "Look!" to attract attention. After a few minutes, J.L. saw a large soft toy dinosaur nearby and crawled towards it with a smile. J.L. pointed to the dinosaur and shouted, "Dino!" then hugged it tightly. J.L. then began to use the dinosaur as a pile, making rumbling sounds. During the play, J.L. He also looked back at adults, and often smiled after completing a task, such as knocking down a tower of blocks. J.L. used single words and short phrases such as "more," "get up!" when reaching for another block and wanting to stand. J.L. explored the blocks independently, but occasionally sought help from his parents, who responded encouragingly when a block tower collapsed, praising J.L.'s efforts and suggesting "try again." The child was also seen socializing by handing a block to an adult and saying "Here you go!" J.L. demonstrated curiosity by trying to fit blocks into a toy box and persisted even when some did not fit.
