   Hi, after reading and looking through chapter 10 in my book dealing with the different type of reports. I have begun to think about my professional field and what types of reports I would be using in that workforce. I would be using incident reports, and periodic reports because in a daycare you will always have to write up incidents reports because young children tend to hurt themselves a lot. They are still young and the only thing that will be on their mind is running around and having fun. When they hurt themselves they will cry for a little then get back up and go back to having fun. When it comes to the periodic reports it will be the teachers giving parents updates on how their children are doing in school and what is their progress.

   Both of these reports will be great in my professional field because if you can just look at what we do in this setting every day and see what happens you will truly understand why these two types of reports are well needed. Every time you go to parks or playgrounds you will see that children are most likely to hurt themselves and therefore you have to report it to whoever the parents are because they will want to know what happens to their babies. It is a really good idea that all daycares have both of those reports because it is a requirement by the state. I had a child at my old daycare break his arms and it happen all so quick so I had to take him and go write up an incident report. I had to make a copy for his mom and also get a signature from the director.
