From eight to twelve weeks a baby will lift their head and chest when lying on their tummy and there is almost no head lag when in a sitting position. Their legs can kick vigorously, both separately and together. They wave their arms, bring their hands together and play with their fingers. They are able to hold a rattle for a short time before dropping it. At this age babies become distressed by sudden loud noises and show
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.
It is important to understand and remember that although children usually develop in the same sequence, the rate of their development can vary from child to child and will vary with regards to each child’s abilities, gender, race and needs. Here is the typical sequence and rate of development for children that would normally be expected. Physical Development 0-1 years old: The first year of a baby’s life is the most important for brain development and the impact that it will have on the children and their learning throughout their lives. During the first month of their lives, a baby will hold its head and in time they will bear weight and begin to roll over. By 6-9 months, the baby is able to sit unsupported and will then begin to pull themselves up into a standing position.
Unit 331 understand child and young person development. 1.1 Sequence and rate of development is all dependant on the individual child/young person, their physical, communication, intellectual and social development is crucial to understand in order to help them. 0 to 3 years old babies are new to this atmosphere they use small muscle movements such as reflexes, sucking, smiling and raising their hands. By 5 months they begin to roll over and shuffle, at 8 months they pull and push on toys/furniture/anything and everything to stand and then glide using the same method of transport. At this stage they are now becoming more curious and want to play with toys, teeth are beginning to sprout and they are now eating solids.

They are beginning to be inquisitive with objects, passing them between hands, handling them in different ways and looking for things that are hiding.
Alison Lawn Mish Wilks 25th February 2013 P1/M1 Unit 8 Human Lifespan Development In this assignment I am going to identify the key aspects of Physical, Emotional, Intellectual and social development for children aged between birth and 3 years old. To gain complete control children will need to master two types of skills, these are:- Gross motor skills Children need to learn to control the muscles that are used for large movements and balance, ranging from learning to support their own heads to walking and kicking a ball. ; These are known as gross motor skills. Control of these muscles develops from the head down to the shoulders and arms and finally to the legs. Fine motor skills and eye coordination
Unit 201 – Child and young person development Outcome 1) 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. a) Physical development Between birth and 6 months an infant begins to develop a rhythm of feeding, sleeping and eliminating which may correspond with the primary care givers sleeping patterns. The infant will also gain control of eye movement and develop basic motor control so they will be able to balance their head, roll over, pull self to sitting and may briefly sit alone. This will help normal muscle development as the infant grows rapidly, doubling their birth weight. By 12 months the infant will be able to crawl and may be beginning to walk, they will use large objects, furniture and people to pull themselves to standing.
Unit 22 1.1 Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth – 19 years. The sequence of children’s development for each age is divided into five different aspects: Physical; Social, Emotional and behavioural; Communication and language; Intellectual and cognitive. PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT 0 – 3 Years Physical development at this stage is usually very rapid. At birth babies depend on reflexes for movements to enable them feed or grasp whenever they touch something. By age one; they have much more control over their bodies.
* From 4-8 weeks babies should be able to slightly lift their head when laid on their front. * By 2 months babies should be kicking their legs enthusiastically. * By 2-3 months a baby should be able to watch and follow a moving face, by using their eyes or tilting their head in the direction the moving face is going. Communication and Intellectual Development: * Baby watches faces and facial expressions carefully. * Recognises familiar faces from a distance after a while and gets used to familiar objects.
1.1 Describe the expected pattern of children a young people’s development from birth to 19 years, to include: Physical development Communication and intellectual development Social, emotional and behavioural development The sequence of children’s development at 0 to 3 months. Physical development at 0 to 3 months. At 0 to 3 months, It is the norm for a baby to sleep most of the time and grow fast, whilst awake he/she can open and shut their hands and will start to kick their legs with movements gradually becoming smoother. They can wave their arms around and will eventually begin to hold objects when placed in their hand e.g. an appropriate size/shaped rattle.
