Four year olds usually play happily with other children enjoying physical games as well as stories. They learn to understand about feelings and needs of others and their behaviour shows they feel sympathy for others and can share their toys; taking turns some of the time. They occasionally feel jealous of their parent’s relationship. Parent’s let them know that their relationship is important to them. They often develop favourite games like ‘mummies and daddies’ and ‘superman’, allowing them to try out various adult roles.
During this year most children will be affectionate towards their family, friends and carers and they also want to play with children but mostly pretend play. They are eager to help and please primary carers and other familiar adults. D2) Describe the expected stage of social development for children aged 5 years Most children at this age feel confident and can begin to articulate themselves a lot more in terms of their achievements, e.g. ‘I’m star of the week’ or ‘watch me climb this’. They may also start to use words and actions in mock of other people.
Social and Emotional Development Babies begin to recognize faces while smiling and attaching to parents. They begin to express fear of strangers and seek comfort and reassurance from parents or carers. They feel secure when cuddled and enjoy playing simple games like peek-a-boo. Intellectual Development They learn about things through feeling with their hands and mouth. They recognize their parents while smiling, squealing and gurgling at them.
We use this practice to prevent or stop children feeling unwanted, not good enough, left in the dark, lost, small, nervous, worn down or have a negative self-image. This is important so a child can reach their full potential and be happy at the early years setting. In a case study I researched which included a story of a boy named Sam; who is developmental behind approximately two years. I saw how being part of an inclusive practice helped him develop. Sam was able to participate in group discussions with thanks to an aid which helped Sam sit up straight.
As we know, infants and toddlers are such a joy to be around. They bring a certain type of happiness to not only their parents, but family, friends and those who come in contact with them. Infants and toddlers do not stay babies for very long. As soon as a child enters out of its mother’s womb, he or she begins the developmental process. Infants and toddlers grow quickly, or should I say “in a blink of an eye”.

Comical moments surround us everywhere. Laughter is one of the first ways we communicate with our parents as infants. Socially, it strengthens our relationships and helps form new bonds; new relationships. It’s a great way to make an awkward situation acceptable. But at times, making light of certain situations can lead to hurt feelings.
