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.
TDA 3.2 Schools and Organisations Criteria 1.1 Summarise entitlement and provision for early years education. There are different types of childcare options available for 0-5 year olds, these include:Sure Start - Giving every child the best possible start in life is an initiative called Sure Start which is government led. They offer a broad range of services focusing on Family Health, Early Years Care and Education and Improved Well Being Programmes to children aged 4 and under. Sure Start makes contact with parents as soon as possible in the child's life and can offer support to families who have developmental concerns or other worries about their child. They can also give them support in making referrals for other services.
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,[1] 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. PHYSICAL GROWTH: Physical growth in stature and weight occurs over the 15–20 years following birth, as the individual changes from the average weight of 3.5 kg and length of 50 cm at full termbirth to full adult size. As stature and weight increase, the individual's proportions also change, from the relatively large head and small torso and limbs of the neonate, to the adult's relatively small head and long torso and limbs.
Teaching Assistant Level 3 Assignment 1 – L/601/1693 Understanding How Children and Young People Develop Student Name: - Samantha Danks Student Number: - SADAN2355 Question 1.1: Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth-19years: There are 5 areas of human development and they are Social, Physical, Intellectual, Communication and Emotional (SPICE). Social and Emotional is the development of a child’s identity and self-image. They will learn how to relate to themselves and to others around them. They will learn how to develop friendships and relationships, and how to ‘fit in’ to society. Physical is the development of the body as it increases in skill and strength.
Unit Title: Understand child and young people’s development. Unit Number: CYP Core 3.1 Unit Reference: L/601/1693 1. Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth to 19 years. 1.2 Explain the difference between sequence of development and rate of development and why the difference is important. The sequence of development is a pattern in which a child develops from infancy, through childhood and into adulthood, these are usually categorized in two ways: personal factors: factors that are specific to a child such as: disabilty, health status, impairment, learning difficulty, bereavment etc.
Physical development in children follows a directional pattern, large muscles develop before small muscles, legs and arms develop before those in the fingers and hands, and children learn how to perform gross ,or large motor skills such as walking before they learn to perform fine ,or small, motor skills such as drawing. The center of the body develops before the outer regions, as muscles located at the core of the body become stronger and develop sooner than those in the feet and hands. Development seems to go from the top down, from the head to the toes. This is seemingly why babies learn to hold their heads up before they learn how to crawl. Early childhood is a time of remarkable cognitive development.
1.2 Explain the difference between sequence of development and rate of development and why the difference is important. It is important to know the difference between sequence and rate of development, as sequence development is the sequence a Child must develop in, for example; at an early age a baby will first lift its head, before rolling onto its side, then sitting up to get into a crawling position, then it may pull itself up to eventually being able to stand alone. A sequence development is exactly that, a Child must first finish one area of development before moving onto the next developmental milestone. The rate of development is the pace in which that specific Child develops at. These factors are taken into account in all areas of development, such as; physical, emotional, intellectual and even social development.
Life Span Development Robert Diaz 9/9/13 PSY/375 Shaun-Katherine Robles The human life is developed from the time a person is born until their death. However long (or short) a person's life span is, over time, they develop both physically and cognitively. Many psychological researchers look to see how a person develops and why. Prominent figures in psychology like Sigmund Freud and Jean Piaget, along with so many others, have spent good portions of their own lifespan trying to answer these questions and give a better picture of how a person develops throughout their entire lives. Both Piaget and Freud looked at development over a life span in stages.
Life span Perspective The life span perspective of development The science of human development attempts to understand how and why an individual will change or remain the same over time (Berger, 2008). There are stages in life that begins with birth and infancy then continues to early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, adulthood, late adulthood, and finally the end of one’s life (Berger, 2008). If an individual lives a full lifetime, the stages mark different developments including physical, emotional, and psychological. Currently, there are five characteristics of development. First, multidirectional is a characteristic suggesting change occurs in every direction (Berger, 2008).
It may seem that all human development takes place during the first twenty years of a person's life, but this isn't true. In fact, each and every person develops throughout their entire lifetime. Development is an ongoing process with a great deal of depth to it. The life-span perspective is a set of clear characteristics revolving around human development. Development is Lifelong Although infants, children and teenagers may develop at a more rapid rate than someone who is middle-aged or elderly, everyone is developing.
