Unit 201 – Child and young person development Outcome 1) Know the main stages of child and young person development 1.1 Describe the expected pattern of children and young people’s development from birth to 19 years. a) Physical development Between birth and 6 months an infant begins to develop a rhythm of feeding, sleeping and eliminating which may correspond with the primary care givers sleeping patterns. The infant will also gain control of eye movement and develop basic motor control so they will be able to balance their head, roll over, pull self to sitting and may briefly sit alone. This will help normal muscle development as the infant grows rapidly, doubling their birth weight. By 12 months the infant will be able to crawl and may be beginning to walk, they will use large objects, furniture and people to pull themselves to standing.
By age 1 they will have developed more detail in what they can see so will be able to tell the difference between given food and given a play toy. They are also much more independent as beings and should be able to sit alone and will begin pushing themselves off of objects into a standing position but their balance will not sufficient enough for them to be walking just yet. This however, will develop further over the next year because by age 2 most infants will be able to walk and will be feeding themselves. They will also have begun making marks on paper and will begin to show their preferred hand. At this age they will also enjoy picture book as being read to.
At 7-12 year. Children would start to have hobbies and interest such as sports, dance, drama, and songs. Children will continue to develop and refine many of their skills. The girls will start to show signs of early puberty from age 10-11. Puberty in boys usually start later.
When a child is born they are physically active they will be trying to lift their heads up kicking and waving their arms about. Being physically active will continue into adulthood. Between the ages of 0-3 years a child will learn and continue to learn physical things like lifting their head sitting up and crawling then walking and running. 0-9months a new born will sleep much of the time and will grow fast. They will be trying to lift there heads up and will be kicking and waving their arms about and will be becoming more alert.will now support their own head and will be rolling about they will beging to sit with support and will now start to use the Palmer grasp and pincer grasp.9-18 months they will now be holding a cup and trying to feed themselfs and will be more mobile climbing stairs with supervision but will need help to get back down.

She may also be able to stack one brick on top of another by 12 months. Your baby will now be able to follow simple instructions, such as kiss the teddy, or kiss mummy. Language development.
Unit 1 – Child and Young Person Development Children typically go through certain stages of development around the same time. The time frame is quite broad as children will individually develop at different times (some may advance in particular areas or be a late developer) but on average they will experience the same milestones at around the same time. There are three main areas of development Physical – Small and large muscle control, co ordination and physical fitness ➢ Fine motor skills (writing, threading, painting and drawing) ➢ Gross motor skills (running, jumping, hopping, skipping, balance) ➢ General co-ordination ➢ Hand-eye coordination Social, emotional and behavioural – Make and keep social relationships with adults and other children. Learning to recognize and express their own feelings more effectively. Gaining experience understanding and responding to the emotions of others.
Although all children will develop at different rates and in different ways, the sequence in which they develop will be roughly the same as they need to have developed one skill, for example walking, before they move on to develop another such as running and jumping. Development is often referred to on a timeline and is broken down in ages. As development is more rapid in early years the milestones start by being quite close together before becoming further apart as baby becomes a child and then a young adult. Ages 0 - 3 years They are beginning to crawl or shuffle, pulling or pushing on furniture to stand and then cruise using furniture or adult for support. Sitting has progressed to unaided and they are rolling from their front to their back.
Within weeks of being born a baby will start to smile and respond to sounds and environments around them. By 6 months as their muscles begin to develop they will reach for and hold objects which they will also put into their mouths. By one year old they are beginning to crawl or shuffle, pulling or pushing on furniture to stand and then cruise using furniture or adult for support. Sitting has progressed to unaided and they are rolling from their front to their back. They are beginning to be inquisitive with objects, passing them between hands, handling them in different ways and looking for things that are hiding.
an appropriate size/shaped rattle. He/she learn to roll from side on to back and try to lift head, he/she also needs opportunities to play and exercise with items such as soft toys, cloth books and a play matt with different textures and sounds to help progress their physical development, their grasp reflex diminishes as hand and eye coordination begins to develop. Communication and intellectual development at 0 to 3 months. He/she will start to recognise familiar voices and stop crying when hearing them, they are more likely to recognise their parents voice and concentrate on them rather than unfamiliar ones, he/she are also aware of other sounds and will turn their head toward the sound. A baby of this age will respond to smiles and will move their whole body in response to sound/ to attract attention, he/she sees everything in relation to their self this is know as Egocentric.
Unit 82 Creative learning is about children being actively involved in their own learning and their ability to make their own choices and decisions. Helping children to develop imaginative thinking which can be achieved through exploration of a creative environment of various materials and objects. Helping children to develop problem solving skills such as construction and Ict. Providing children with opportunities to make connections between different areas and to be able to relate to them. Some creative learning activities may be focused on achieving a goal for example making a den.
