The position and postural attitudes of a child The position and postural attitudes of a child is different in different sequence of time. This study was carried out within 10 minutes, but the interesting thing is that, the child took more than 25 postures, which clearly defines about her mood influences, which played the most important role to maintain the postural attitudes of her body. Here, the child body is related with her psychology and behavior to attend the position like that. It’s a very difficult to understand someone’s mind and mood, but observation shows that, whatever we do any work or play or do something, it’s the mood influences muscle tone, energy level, one’s internal sense of well being and the current state of mind, play a important role to change the behavior and pattern of doing something.

Convincing a child is the difficult job, in the name of chocholate and jelly, this study was carried out The picture 1 describes about her standing position where there is a movement of the body parts took place. The hand was stretched upward and next to the wall. Both the hand was moved, body and the leg was also stretched. It seems as if she is trying to move her hand and she is looking to the ceiling. There is also the movement of head and observing the condition of a position of child, here we can see that for a child it is very difficult to maintain good posture. The mood influence of a child is happy and the facial expression of a child seems she love to play ownself and do any kind of activities what she posses.

While staying at that positions she is feeling ok
Picture 18 describes that when a child changes her position or postural attitudes, its hard to believe all that and makes more eager to know about their mood and emotional behavior.
