Physical development is usually very rapid early on in the child’s development. 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.
Puberty in boys usually start later. At 12-16 years. The boys will be starting to go through puberty and many of the girls would be completing their puberty and having regular periods, as a result of the different stages of puberty, the boys and girls would vary in height. At this stage most girls are taller than boys and the young people will be growing stronger. At 16-19 years.
The rate of development is the speed of which a child develops but this can also vary a great deal in each child. For example one child may start walking unaided before their first birthday but another child may not start walking unaided until after their first birthday. It’s important to know the difference between the sequence and rate of development as it helps to meet the children’s individual needs. It helps you recognise if any children have special educational needs and helps you plan to make sure they are getting the help and support they may need.
Outcome 1 1.1 Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development that would normally be expected in children and young people from birth-19 yrs Physical Development 0-12 months * At birth the head will fall loosely if not supported. * By three months, able t6 35ft head up to 45 degrees when lying on their tummy. * By six months may be able to lift head when lying on their back. * Rolls over from front to back and visa versa. * By nine months will be able to sit alone for upto 15 minutes.
Child will then normally transfer to Senior/High school at age 11 where they will continue their education through to under new laws 18 years of age. Following this Young Adults will then move onto Employment, College or University. Transitions experienced by most children and young people A Child/Young Adult will go through what we call 'normal transitions' throughout their school/work life's. A child will normally attend a nursery or playgroup at age 3-4 years, before moving up to Reception class at 4-5 years. Child will then move up to Infants aged 5-6 years where they will stay until moving onto Junior school at Age 6 through to age 10-11.
It can refer to life changing events such as birth, marriage, divorce, retirement and other events that an individual is likely to go through as they age. For example: an individual’s life course could be them graduating from university, getting married, having a baby and any other events that may occur during the course of their life. * Maturation: This is the process of something becoming mature or becoming fully developed. Most individual’s go through this process as they grow and become fully developed. For example; a girl may become fully developed much quicker than a boy.
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.
These principals are taken into all accounts through all areas of development from mental to physical to intellectual and emotional maturity. Growth is a continuous process which differs for all individuals. for example: a baby can learn to walk at 10 months, whereas another baby wont learn to walk until 18 months, this is perfectly nomal in development, but no baby will learn to walk until they can sit up. it is important to know the difference in sequence and rate as we can have an idea as to what age a child should be developing through stages and that we can monitor any delays which could be a cause of concern which may lead to the child being given special recommendation to help aid in everyday life including school.

CYP 3.1 1.1 – Children’s development is continuous and can be measured in a number of different ways. Although all children develop at different rates, and in different ways, the sequence in which they develop will roughly be the same as they need to have developed one skill, e.g. walking, before they can move on and develop further skills, such as running and jumping. Development is often referred to as on a timeline and is broken down into ages. As development is more rapid in early years, the first few milestones start by being quite close together, before becoming further apart as a baby becomes a child then a young adult.
Making new friends can also help to adjust to the new surroundings. A lot of students sometimes become afraid of the first year of college. This may lead to different types of academic difficulties. Some may face test anxiety and trouble concentrating. If a student gets the feeling that the work load is becoming too much, they should meet with their advisor, go to on campus tutoring or join a study group.
