Between four to eight weeks the baby begins to turn from their side to back and can lift their head briefly from the lying on their tummy. Their arm and leg movements are jerky and uncontrolled and their head will lag if pulled to a sitting position. They will recognise their carer and familiar objects and will coo and gurgle. Their cry becomes more expressive depending on whether they are tired, hungry or need changing and usually stops crying when they see or hear a familiar voice. 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.
In their sensorimotor stage, from birth to age 2, children experience the world through their senses and actions (Myers, 2013). 1b. According to Piaget, within that stage, between 1- 6 months, babies live in the present because they lack in object permanence. Meaning, they are unaware that objects exist even when they are not visible at that moment. By 8 months of age, object of permanence begin to emerge because infants begin to develop memory for objects that are not perceived (Myers, 2013).
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.
During the first four months of life, according to Piaget, infants interact with the world through primary circular reactions. This just means a baby will suck his or her thumb, and things of that nature. In Piaget’s secondary circular reaction stage, an infant is between the age of four and twelve months. During this time, he or she will develop object permanence and may try to find the hidden object. The last of the sensorimotor stage is the tertiary circular reaction.
3.1.1 – Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of the development from birth – 19 years Physical Development Birth – 3 years | 3 – 7 years | 7-12 years | 12 – 19 years | Little control over body.Movement dependant on reflexes such as sucking andgrasping. By year 1 – crawling and rolling. In 2ndyear start to walk, use hands,hold small objects, dressingand feeding themselves. Play with a ball and climbing. | More co-ordinated movements.
The Strange Situation procedure was formulated to observe attachment relationships between a caregiver and children between the age of nine and 18 months. It was developed by Mary Ainsworth, a developmental psychologist. Originally it was devised to enable children to be classified into the attachment styles known as secure, anxious-avoidant and anxious-ambivalent. As research accumulated and atypical patterns of attachment became more apparent it was further developed by Main and Solomon in 1986 and 1990 to include the new category of disorganized/disoriented attachment. In this procedure the child is observed playing for 20 minutes while caregivers and strangers enter and leave the room, recreating the flow of the familiar and unfamiliar presence in most children's lives.
Infant Observation Report Infant Name Lukas Age 11month Gender male Full Term Baby Observation Place My own family daycare I observed infant Lukas at my own family daycare on Jan 23, 2013 from 9:30am-11:00am. Lukas was the youngest among the group of 12 kids. He started at our daycare around 4 weeks ago. Our daycare has a large playroom with attached changing area, a children dining room and an outdoor area. For infants around t 11 months old, they should be cruising around while holding onto the furniture.

Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development that would normally be expected in children and young people. Physical Development Age range Sequence and rate of development 0-3 months • Raises head and chest when lying on stomach • Supports upper body with arms when lying on stomach 3-6 months • legs when feet are placed on a firm surface • Brings hand to mouth • Takes swipes at dangling objects with hands 6-9 months • Begins to crawl. Some infants never crawl, however, by 9 months, many babies find crawling to be an exciting way to get around. • Develops hand-eye coordination 9-12 months • Crawls forward on belly • Sits up without assistance • Pulls himself up to stand 1-2 years • Walks on own • Walks backwards • Is able to pick up toys while standing 2-3 years • Runs forward • Helps dress and undress themselves • Jumps in place with one foot • Kicks a ball • Bends over 3-5 years Three to Four Years • Runs around obstacles • Balances on one foot • Pushes, pulls, and steers toys Four to Five Years • Draws crosses and circles • Walks backwards • Jumps forwards many times • Walks up and down stairs 6-8 years • Grow an average of 2.5 inches per year • Start gaining weight faster at age 8 or 9 9-11 years • Girls are generally as much as 2 years ahead of boys in physical maturity • Girls may begin to menstruate 12-15 years • Adolescence is a time of rapid growth in height and weight. • Boys grow body hair, their voices deepen, and their testicles increase in size.
