Starting a new school – This could make the child or young person feel nervous because they have to make new friends and could make the child feel anxious because they don’t know what will happen. This could also make the child become shy or dismissive or even anxious. Identify transitions that only some children and young people may experience. Transitions experienced by only some children and young people include: Diagnosis of a disability – This could make the child or young person feel jealousy because he/she may feel different, this could also make the child act unusual such as being dismissive. Divorce – This could make the child or young person feel frustrated, confused because the child or young person may not be seeing one parent as much as before, this could also make the child act unusual such as becoming withdrawn and being argumentative with parents.
Social: Anti-social behaviour- If parents show anti-social behaviour it may impact on the child being put into care Addictions- If children live with addicted adults they may be under a lot of stress and experience poverty. This may cause their attendance at school to drop which will impact on their achievements. Bereavement and loss- This can impact on the child's emotional and physical health as they may not know how to respond to this. Adults can also find it difficult to care for the child if they loose a family member which could result in the child going into care. Economic: Health Status- if a child has a condition, their education and home life can be affected as they may not be able to attend school as much as other children.
learning or physical. Learning disabilities which affect development could be: Autism; autism is a disability which affects how a person relates and communicates with other people and the world around them. Children with autism find it difficult to understand facial expressions or the tone of a voice. They can feel lonely and cut off from society as they avoid social interaction. This could affect their ability to development or interact in social settings or in the classroom.
This can cause the child to feel lonely and angry at themselves because they are not at the other children's level of learning. 2. If a child doesn't like to share toys, this can cause a problem with social interaction as they will find it hard to form friendships. The other children will try to avoid the child that is unable to share, this can affect the emotional and social development of the child who is unwilling to share as they will feel lonely and neglected and even abandoned. 3.
Disability can affect several areas of development at the same time but early support might help minimise the effects of the disability. Emotional reasons, if a child is not settled and having good attachments they are more likely to have low confidence and self-esteem they might not try new tasks and have a lack of motivation. Physical development might be effected by genetics this can mean physical growth difficulties or may be the child might be a slower learner. Environmental as in outcome there are many reasons that can effect child development like poverty, where a child lives, education and their family structure can effect a child’s development. Culturally how people bring up their children can differ vastly like in china a girl is deemed second class to a boy the boy is worth tying to a boat but not a girl.
Meeting children’s needs can affect practitioners as they will need to plan according to the children’s age, stage and needs. If there is a child in the setting who is visually impaired then the practitioner should make enlarged copies of worksheets so the child can see it much easier. This could affect the practitioner as if there are not any resources, e.g. large pieces of paper available, than this could limit the practitioner and also the child as it will become a barrier for their education and development. Another barrier could be lack of staff.
Describe, with examples, how transitions may affect children and young people’s behaviour and development • A 13 year old whose parents are divorcing May show aggression and anger, often acting in a rebellious manner, and could take their anger out on their parents. They may not respond to discipline. They could feel guilty, believing they are be the cause of the separation. They may become more independent, not wanting to be part of the new way of life. They might have difficulty sleeping, which will have a detrimental effect on their learning.
“Explain how child and young people’s development is influenced by a range of personal factors include one from each of the following Health status / Disability / Sensory impairment / Learning difficulties” Health If a child is in poor health then this will have an impact on their development. For example, a child with uncontrolled asthma or severe allergies may not be able to run around and be as active as their peers or be able to eat the same foods as friends and they would be seen as different to their peers and maybe not as accepted as well as they should. The Asthma would affect their energy levels in the playground and perhaps not be able to play as long as their friends which may affect the social development and overall learning of the child. Disability A child in a wheelchair or with a serious physical impairment such as Cerebral Palsy would find it hard to do many activities both in the classroom and outside the classroom. You will find the Gross motor skills are less developed than other and fine motor skills maybe affected if the child has no control on this.
For example, Dyslexia (a condition where the brain has difficulty interpreting information) in children is often identified by the parents. However, parents that are unaware or poorly educated may not notice any problems, meaning their child will not receive the crucial help and support they need to achieve. When children struggle in learning to read, write and spell they will soon fall behind at school and other areas of their development will begin to suffer. For example, a child not diagnosed will frequently become frustrated with trying and give up. Then in an attempt to disguise the problem they are more likely to misbehave and disrupt the class.
People who are losing both hearing and vision will find it difficult to look for clues. There’s a need form a person with sensory impairment to have written, spoken or signed information accessible to them. People need to be able to carry on their everyday life’s as long as possible and losing one of their senses could have a detrimental effect on their dignity and confidentiality .People with hearing loss may need information that is not written and this could be difficult for a person if the information is not in suitable format. Not having access to information could impact on familiar layout, routines and mobility. 1.2 Steps that can be taken to overcome factors that have a negative impact on individuals with
