Family background can effect a child's development by the family's values the culture and the way the child is encouraged and cared for all can effect the child development. The child environment can effect the development of the child e.g. Housing condition , opportunities for play and educational. Poverty and deprivation can affect the child's development because Lack of money can lead to poor nutrition and lack of opportunity and also lower expectations. Children and young people in the care system are more vulnerable,often due to the lack of stability and attachment disorder this can affect their emotional ,social and academic development.
Understand the expected pattern of development for children and young people birth – 19 years. 2. Understand the factors that influence children and young people’s development and how these affect practice. 3. Understand how to monitor children and young people’s development and interventions that should take place if this is not following expected pattern 4.
• Parents and carers How well parents and carers are able to support their child or young person’s development and respond appropriately to their needs. • Family and environment The impact of wider family and environmental elements on the child or young person’s development and on the capacity of their parents/carers. How we used the common assessment at the school The common assessment process represents best practice– although it is acknowledged that, in some instances, flexibility may be required to meet the specific needs of a child or young person and their circumstances. Is a process that may move forwards and backwards between delivery and review until needs are met. We should not put the child or young person, or ourselves, at risk of harm.
There are a few ways of monitoring and observing a child to gather necessary information. In every case, it is essential to include parents and any staff that have contact with the particular child. In observation it is important to focus on the positive as well as any negative aspects of care. Different methods of monitoring and observing are as follows: The E.Y.F.S. This is the assessment framework used for children up to 5 years of age and it links with their areas of development.
Unit 6 Understand child and young person’s development. 09.09.13 Review A child's development usually follows a known and predictable course. The acquisition of certain skills and abilities is often used to gauge such development. Children will reach milestones at certain ages throughout their development, if a child does not seem to be achieving these areas of development this may be a concern and an area that needs special attention. From birth to 19 years a child should achieve a number of significant development areas, these are determined by a sequence of development and the rate of development.
A child’s social network and emotional development can influence development, along with the use of drugs and alcohol both (child and parent). A child may not understand what is required due to unidentified possible language delay. Child may be bored and uninterested at school. 2.2 Explain how children and young people’s development is influenced by a range of external factor External factors can have an effect on a child’s development for such poverty, deprived of food, clothes and toys. Poor living conditions, inadequate diet and exercise and quality of life, leading to increased illness.
1.3.1 Explain how to monitor children and young people’s development using different methods: When children and young people’s development is monitored and assessed, it enables practitioners and professionals to notice when they are not progressing as expected. Therefore, if necessary checks can be made to see why children are not developing as expected. If we intervene in early years, they will be able to get appropriate support they need and their development is promoted. There are several methods of monitoring children’s development. Observations play a very important part in assessing the children’s development.
Monitoring of children and young people’s development is mainly carried out by observations which are methods of gathering information about the behaviour and stage of development of a particular child. There are various methods which can be used to carry out observations of development. Some are very basic or cover a single situation or activity whereas others take into account a range of factors or involve observing a child regularly over a period of time to build up a picture of their stage of development. Some simple methods which can be used to monitor all the children in a setting include: • Checklist – this is a list of “milestones” that a child should reach at a particular stage of development. They can be compared against the list or checked off as they achieve each milestone or are observed to have attained it.
Statutory Assessment of Special Educational Needs- this means? * Statutory Assessment of Special Educational needs means that the special educational needs of the majority of the children should be met in a mainstream setting. Explain early years action/ school action * The early years action is when practitioners or SENCO identify special educational needs of children and work in a team to provide strategies that are in addition or different from those usually provided in the curriculum. * School action is the action taken when special educational needs are identified by teachers and interventions additional to or different from those provided by the usual differentiated curriculums are put in place. Explain early years action plus/ school action plus * Early years action plus is when practitioners who work with children on daily basis and SENCO are given advice and support by specialists in order to provide alternative interventions which are in addition to or different from other interventions identified in early years action.
Contribute to the Support of Child and Young Person Development Know how to support children and young people experiencing transitions 3.1 describe the different transitions children and young people may experience. Babies weaning - Young children may not like the taste or texture of different foods and may lose weight if weaning attempts to replace a milk diet too early. children may begin to have disturbed sleep patterns, be more irritable whilst awake and less motivated to try new foods Starting nursery - Children are not used to leaving parents, separation can be a very upsetting and confidence shattering experience. Repeats of this negativity may cause withdrawal, regression - toilet using children may begin to wet the bed, be aggressive where usually amenable and may begin experience anxiety issues - becoming fearful of separation/clingy, not want to take part in activities that would usually engage some interest. Loss of a comforter - The transition between having a dummy, muslin, teddy bear, blanket and not having one can be quite upsetting .
