Early Childhood (2 to 3 years): Autonomy versus shame and doubt . Children begin to assert their independence, by walking away from their mother, picking which toy to play with, and making choices about what they like to wear, to eat, etc. If children in this stage are encouraged and supported in their increased independence, they become more confident and secure in their own ability to survive in the world. If children are criticized, overly controlled, or not given the opportunity to assert themselves, they begin to feel inadequate in

C8- Analyse the importance of play in children’s learning, giving reasons why play should be included in planning. It is important to include play in a child’s learning and experience, this is because it enables them to explore and learn new things independently and through a way in which they understand. From play they are able to express their feelings and thoughts on the subject through interpreting the situation, events, or experience they’ve seen. It’s a good way of allowing children their own space to make choices of what, when, and who they play with, giving them many opportunities to build on relationships which is a good aspect in enhancing their communication skills and ability to work with others and co-operate efficiently. Play is a ‘’free flow’’ experience which enables a child to progress at their own pace.
As per research the first three years are critical in the shaping of a child’s brain construction and early experiences is the base of the brain’s organizational development leading throughout life. It also directly impacts how a child develops their learning skills, social and emotional abilities. b. What was your favorite discussion, and favorite assignment, and why?

Movement limitations may compromise children's abilities to communicate, interact, and explore their environments (Gallahue 1999). This strong connection between movement and other domains, especially cognitive development, was underscored by Piaget, who theorized that in the first 2 years of life, which he called the sensorimotor phase, motor actions in the environment provide the foundation for children's intelligence . For these reasons, we believe that early movement skills should be monitored to allow for early detection and intervention (Gallahue
If a child, like in the case of Jordan, (K101, DVD, Unit 5, video 5.1) is removed from this attachment figure at a young age, it can have a big effect on their development (K101, Unit 5, p31); this is because children use their attachment figure to learn about their selves, relationships and also as a secure base for exploring to develop physical and social interaction skills. (Bretherton, 1992 quoted in K101, unit 5, pp28-29) An example of how a child service user can be affected by not
Children will learn how to calm themselves, managing anger and aggressive feelings. Motivation – Pupils are able to become active and enthusiastic in their learning, perhaps taking small steps to achieve a set goal. Helping children to concentrate on positive learning skills and to overcome distractions or behaviour issues, children can also learn how to evaluate their learning for the future. Pupils can also learn how to have a positive approach to overcoming mistakes of disappointments. Empathy – Children learn how to recognise others feelings, knowing how their own views/opinions could affect others.

Rabban found that at the age of three, most children can identify their own gender but not what gender they would grow into. This demonstrates their weak grasp of gender stability,
Since the early identification of developmental errors consequently assist private and public sector organizations to intervene and thus influence the effect that developmental delays may have on social, language and academic skills. In light of this background, it is critical to understand how both formal and informal assessments, when developmentally appropriate in design and purpose, are beneficial for early childhood. Childhood is divided into three groups for discussion: infants/toddlers (ages 0 through 2) and preschoolers (ages 3 through 6). This paper will focus on young children aged 3-6 years. Since young children are increasingly being assessed for an array of reasons, this can be disconcerting raising the question of the purposefulness of these assessments-assessment of children may be used for purposes as diverse as determining the level of functioning of individual children, guiding instruction, or measuring functioning at the program, community, or
