Cognitive development is tied into physical and social interactions in the preschool years as children are constructing view of the world and actions in the preschool years as children are constructing a view of the world and discovering concepts. Play also enables children to sort through conflicts and deal with anxieties, fears, and disturbing feelings in an active, powerful way. Adults contribute to the development of children’s sense of initiative in several ways.

School Age Child Observation Susan Romero UOPX Child Development BSHS 361 Joy Ifill, LCSW August 27, 2011 School Age Child Observation The development of children between the ages of six through 12 is the time when morals, learning about growing friendships, sexual identity, and gender roles are formed. During this time the child is becoming more responsible, developing individual preferences, learning new skill such as reading and math, and cognitive development is focused on trying new things and to broaden him or herself. I observed two children within this age group and will discuss what I had observed and how it demonstrates these skills.

E1: There are many parts to the role of the practitioner when they are meeting children’s learning needs some of these are working with families, providing a positive environment, and the children wellbeing. Working with families”, you should always make sure that you are approachable and friendly towards all parents so that they are happy about leaving their child with you” (Tassoni, 1999, pg. 315). This helps to meet children’s learning needs as the child’s primary career has a better understanding of the child and may be able to support the child when they are at home. I have seen this at placement where they run parent consolation’s twice a term, and if the teacher needs to see the primary career, they arrange meeting.
The schools` influence upon health The schools have a significant part in children`s development. It does not just help pupils with numeracy and literacy but also gives them the opportunity to learn about themselves, acquire social skills and spreads influential messages about health. Implemented health strategies such as varied diets, consisting of fresh fruit and/or salad, breakfast clubs and/or lunch, fitness, activities such as PE, dance lessons, football, yoga, netball and so on, and health education, which in the past few years has been included in the national curriculum as Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) that intends to develop children`s health preparing them for a healthy adulthood. The capacity of schools to intervene in health can be affected by numerous factors, one good example being the decisions taken by the government. The part schools play in relation to health is always prone to change which can cause both positive and negative effects.
