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.
Considering the work of key pioneers and current experts with links to child development theory. There are many theories about how children learn and develop. This area of study is called developmental psychology which covers subjects such as cognitive, language and emotional development. The research methods are based heavily on the on going assessments carried out by observing children over a period of time. Assessment is part of the process of understanding what children know, understand and can do so that future teaching steps can be appropriately planned.
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 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.
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 strands are: • To learn about themselves - Self Concept Development • To learn about their feelings - Emotional Development • To learn about other people - Social Development • To learn to communicate - Language Development • To learn to move and do - Physical Development • To learn to think - Cognitive Development The quality of early experiences is shaped by the individuals with whom infants and toddlers spend their time and by the environments where they spend their time. As early childhood professionals, we know what children need in order to be successful in both school and in life. This document designed for program trainers, directors and parent educators to use as they work with caregivers and parents to insure quality care for infants and toddlers. Infants and toddlers are cared for in a variety of settings. These settings include the child’s own home, child care centers and family child care.
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, to include physical development, communication and intellectual development, social, emotional and behavioural development. a) Physical Development Birth-3mth - Head needs support when sat up - Lies on back with their head to one side - Grasping, sucking, rooting - Holds hand in tight fists - Head and eyes start to move together - Starts watching movements of own hands and plays with them - Starts to kick legs and arms 3-6mth - Will try and hold a small toy for a few seconds when placed in their hands - Can now lift head and turn when on front - Sit with support - Can roll over properly - Start to use their arms to support when lying on their belly - Starts turning from back to side - Holds onto small toy and begins to shake it 6-12mth - Lifts off ground with arms when on belly - Uses whole hand in palmer grasps and passes toy to each hand - Sits without support - Can stand alone and walk holding onto objects (cruising) - May crawl or shuffle - Reaches out for toys when sitting, pokes at small items with index fingers - Holds drinking cup with help and enjoys self-feeding 12-18mth - Squats to pick up toys off floor - Puts cubes in box when shown and bangs two blocks together - Can walk alone and downstairs when hand held - Pushes and pulls toys when walking - Rolls, throws and tries to kick a ball - Helps when getting dressed and undressed - Can use a spoon, turns handles and pulls on shoes 2-3yrs - Uses spoon to feed themselves - Builds a tower - Starts putting their shoes on - Starts drawing dots with chosen hand - Can kick a ball with confidence - Starts to turn single pages of a book
Unit 4227-022 Understanding child and young person development 1.1 Children grow continually, develops and learns from birth to adulthood. A child’s development can be measured through social, emotional, intellectual, physical and language development milestones. Most of the children follows the same pattern of development during different growth stages in their life. However, each child will develop at a different rate across different areas. Aspects or areas of development classified as Physical development, Social and emotional development, intellectual development and language development.
DIFFERENT STAGES OF CHILD DEVELOPMENT INTRODUCTION OF Child development Child development refers to the biological, 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. It is a continuous process with a predictable sequence yet having a unique course for every child. It does not progress at the same rate and each stage is affected by the preceding types of development. 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.
1) Identify the areas of child development and write briefly about each one. Child development is a process every child goes through, and each stage of development child is learning in several areas at the same time. Children develop these skills in five main areas of development: S - Social development P- Physical development I - Intellectual development C- Communication development E- Emotional development Social Development: It involves the development of the social skills of the child, how child interacts with others. The child’s identity, their relationships with others and understanding their place within a social environment. Physical Development: As the child grows change occurs in their bodies in mean of body shape, their strength to do the different task, the change in size, shape, and physical maturity of the body which includes physical abilities and coordination.
