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.
By 6 months as they become stronger and muscles develop they will reach for and hold objects as well as putting fists, and objects into their mouths. Solids will be introduced at this stage giving them a chance to enjoy and become aware of different tastes and smells.By one year almost all babies will be able to sit unaided as well as rolling from their front to their back and will have progressed on to crawling and even shuffleing being able to pull or push on furniture to stand and walk around furniture or hold on to an adult for support. Some babies will have learnt to walk too all of these making them more mobile as they become more inquisitive with objects, passing them between hands, handling them in different ways and looking for things that are hiding. Their hand to eye co-ordination improves as items are passed from hand to hand. Their first teeth will have appeared and chunkier solid foods will be fully underwaymay as a baby enjoys having finger food.Between
TDA 2.1 Child and young person development Task 1 Physical Development Birth to one year Newborn babies can turn their heads to look for food, and once found they are able to suck and swallow. If you hold a baby upright with their feet on your lap or a surface of some kind they will make stepping movements. They will also stretch out their arms when they want to be picked up. As they grow, a baby’s determination to master movement, balance, and the fine-motor skills is very high. 1-3 Years By their first birthday, most babies have learnt the basics of movement and being mobile by either sitting, rolling, shuffling or crawling around.
Describe the expected pattern of children and young peoples development from birth to 19 years to include * physical * communication/ interlectual * social and emotional behaviour. The extended pattern of a child and young person’s development between the ages of 0-19 years come under 3 milestones. These milestones are physical development, communication and intellectual development and social and emotional behaviour. Physical development. When a child is born they are physically active they will be trying to lift their heads up kicking and waving their arms about.
Understand Child and Young Person Development 1.1 EXPLAIN THE SEQUENCE AND RATE OF EACH ASPECT OF DEVELOPMENT OF CHILD FROM BIRTH TO 18 YEARS INTRODUCTION:- Child development refers to the biological and psychological and emotional changes that occur in human beings between birth and the end of adolescence, as the individual progresses from dependency to increasing autonomy. Because these developmental changes may be strongly influenced by genetic factors and events during prenatal life, genetics and prenatal development are usually included as part of the study of child development. Related terms include developmental psychology, referring to development throughout the lifespan, and pediatrics, the branch of medicine relating to the care of children. Developmental change may occur as a result of genetically-controlled processes known as maturation, or as a result of environmental factors and learning, but most commonly involves an interaction between the two. It may also occur as a result of human nature and our ability to learn from our environment.
* The ability to move head and limbs * Fingers grasp * Legs make a ‘stepping’ movement when held upright. * At the age of two months they can kick legs eagerly. * Within 2 – 3 months they can watch a face moving. | 3-6 months | * From 6 months an infant is capable of rolling from their back to their stomach. * When on his tummy, head, neck and chest can be pushed off the floor.
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, to include: physical development, communication and intellectual development, social, emotional and behavioural development Whatever years setting you work in, it is important to know that the development process is done in a holistic way. Each child will develop at different stages. Each child progresses at a slightly different rate when mastering the basic skills, however the attainment of certain developmental milestones follow a predictable pattern. Physical development includes movement skills, gross motor skills, fine motor skills and eye hand co-ordination Social and emotional development includes forming relationships, learning social skills, caring for others, self reliance, making decisions, developing self confidence and dealing with emotions. Intellectual development includes attention span, understanding information, reasoning, developing memory, logical thinking and questioning.
Understand child and young person development Task A 1. Sequence for Physical development for ages 0-19 There are two types of physical development. Gross motor skills are whole body movement skills such as running, jumping and balance. Fine motor skills which are hand eye coordination skills an example of some of these are writing, threading, painting and drawing. Age Range | Sequence and rate of development | 0 – 3 months | Beginning to hold head when supportedSucking, grasping and rooting refluxes Lift head towards their chest when laying down Touch, pull and tug own hands | 3-6 months | Beginning to roll overUsing legs to bear down Pulling backwards and forwards with the body on objects Reaching out for objects and touching thingsUse objects to make discoveries such as shaking a rattle | 6 -9 months | Crawling Transferring objects from one hand to anotherGrasping at objects | 9-12 months | Aided walkingSitting unaided Roll a ballPick up objectsThrow objectsHold a pencil in a palmer gripBeginning to use the pincer grip | 1-2 years | Walking unaided Walk up and down stairs with aidWalking and running and stopping without fallingSeat themselves in a chairPick up objects from a standing position | 2-4 years | Kick a ballStability to runWalk on tiptoesJump with two feet together from a small height Explore more physical toys such as scooters and tricycles with confidence Running rapidly and safelyClimb stairs by stepping with one step at a timeUse a slide without any helpThrow over arm and begin to catch large balls Feed themselvesPick up tiny objects using pincer grip Use blocks to build a towerDraw circles and lines using a pencil/pen in a tripod gripCan thread large beads Use child safe scissors to cut | 4 – 7 years | Can ride a bike with stabilisers Can hop with balance Skip in time to music Catch and throw balls with
1.1 Describe the expected pattern of children and young people’s development from birth to 19 years, include: a) Physical development, b) Communication and intellectual development, c) Social, emotional and behavioural development. In the early stages, when the child is a baby, it communicates by crying so that its needs are meet. The needs are to eat, drink, sleep and general comfort. A baby needs love and attention to grow and develop. According to Ericsson’s psychosocial theory, an infant/toddler’s first conflict is trust vs mistrust of its environment.
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.
