P1 Describe the physical, intellectual, emotional and social development through the life stages The main life stages of human development are: * Conception * Pregnancy and birth * Infancy * Childhood * Adolescence * Adult-hood * Late adulthood The holistic development of an individual involves them developing physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially; whether it is a positive or negative development. All humans grow develop and mature. Growth: is the term that is used to describe an increase in quantity, for example children grow taller as they get older; as well as that as the height and weight increase. This can be referred to the increase as a process of growth. Maturity: As people grow and develop, maturation is different from either growth or development; this is used when development is assumed to be due to a genetically programmed sequence of change.
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. Rate/Speed involves a time frame linked to age. Sequence/Order involves patterns and an order of development linked to body, mobility and intellectual growth - sequence can include an order that's both positive and negative - deterioration. Rate - what happens at 1 year old, 24 months old, 7 years old? Sequence - how things happen in an expected order, sequence i.e.
Teaching Assistant Level 3 Assignment 1 – L/601/1693 Understanding How Children and Young People Develop Student Name:- Terri Hall Student Number:- TEHAL2155 Question 1.1: Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth - 19years: There are six aspects of human development. These aspects are social, physical, intellectual, language, emotional and intellect. Children’s development is continuous and can be measured in a number of different ways. All stages of development happen over time but at different rates. Physical development:- This aspect of development usually progresses very quickly in a child’s life.
It is important to understand and remember that although children usually develop in the same sequence, the rate of their development can vary from child to child and will vary with regards to each child’s abilities, gender, race and needs. Here is the typical sequence and rate of development for children that would normally be expected. Physical Development 0-1 years old: The first year of a baby’s life is the most important for brain development and the impact that it will have on the children and their learning throughout their lives. During the first month of their lives, a baby will hold its head and in time they will bear weight and begin to roll over. By 6-9 months, the baby is able to sit unsupported and will then begin to pull themselves up into a standing position.
UNIT 201 – CHILD AND YOUNG PERSON DEVELOPMENT Please write out each question in full including the reference numbers. 1) Complete the attached chart showing different stages of development against different ages. Ref 1.1 (x-ref 203 3.1) This has been completed as a class activity where different stages of a child’s development were placed against the relevant age group e.g. A child aged between 12-16 would be experiencing physical and emotional changes. From birth through to 19 years children continually grow, develop, and learn.
1.1. Children go through a continuous process of growth, development and learning all the way into adulthood. This process of development is measured using milestones of emotional, social, physical, speech (language) and intellectual reached. Children will reach these milestones at varying points in their development but as a whole all children will follow a similar development pattern. Children will develop at different rates and may progress unevenly through across some areas, but will generally reach the milestones in roughly the same order.
Most children will follow the same “pattern of development” but the ages at what they meet them may differ depending on the individual. Milestones of development are given as broad average of when a a child should be expected to reach a particular stage. Physical Development 0-3 Years: This stage is usually very rapid. At birth babies depend on reflexes for movements to enable them to feed or grasp whenever they touch something. By age one; they have much more control over their bodies.
CYP 3. 1: Understand child and young person development- Task1 Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth to 19. The expected patterns of children and young people are different in the way they develop for their expected rates which need to be seen as (pictures). Babies at birth; Most babies are born about their fortieth week of pregnancy. Some babies born more than 30 weeks early they are described as premature.
Throughout these developmental stages there are aspects which define the standard development that a person is measured against; these are physical, cognitive, language and speech, social and emotional, and sex/ gender identity. Practitioners refer to developmental stages as milestones. Milestones help to give a general pattern of development whilst recognising the different rates that children can develop. Sequential development and the rate of development is quite rapid in the early years; the stages of development a child is expected to reach are quite close together before becoming further apart as the child grows. Arnold Gessell (1880 – 1961) suggested that each of these stages is cumulative, for example a child is able to sing once she is in the second stage of 3-7 years because she was able to talk in the first stage of
For example; a girl may become fully developed much quicker than a boy. Alongside this, some people may become more mature mentally quicker than others. * Life expectancy: Life expectancy is the time in which an individual is expected to live or the average age that an individual may live until. This may depend on various different factors including; age, gender, culture, medical conditions, environment, diet as well as other factors which can contribute to an individual’s life expectancy. For example; in 2011 the average life expectancy of someone living in the united kingdom was 80.5 years, whereas, in the USA, the life expectancy was lower at only 78.64 years of age.
