They can quickly fall behind from peers of the same age. They may find it difficult to interact and make friends with others who are more advanced. They may struggle with intellectual development memory and concentration. Delayed speech development A child who has limited or no speech could be a cause great concern. This would affect a child’s social and communication development as he/she would find it difficult to listen and speak to peers staff and carers this could also affect their behaviour possibly becoming frustrated and quite angry Whatever concern you have about a Childs development in any area, you should always share it with others.
Disabilities may affect confidence and challenge social skills. Emotional If a child or young person is not emotionally secure it could impact on their development. A child or young person who is not shown any love, attention or support or even abused at home would suffer from low self esteem and have little or no confidence or value of themselves, causing them to have difficulties in socialising and participate in learning activities. Physical Physical influences include genetic conditions such as Cystic Fibrosis and Downs syndrome, which may affect a child or young persons development, which could be from problems caused by their condition such as growth and strength, meaning a child or young person may take longer to meet particular stages of development. Environmental The environment in which a child or young person lives may affect their development.
This in turn will affect their learning and ability to interact. This results in children eventually stop wanting to come to school as it’s not a happy safe place for them to be. It can also cause problems at home as they are unable to say what’s wrong and can act out at home. This continues with a child believing what they hear, that they are no good, they do look different, what’s the point , and feeling as if they have nowhere to
3.2 explain the reason why children and young people development may not follow the expected pattern ? There are many reasons why development may not follow the normal pattern.it is important to know the pattern of the order the child is meant to develop in so you can support the child and the family. Development can be Influenced by many different factors ,including health, disability environment and family background. Some of the few things that can have a a influence on the development of children and young people. Health Chronic conditions such as asthma can cause children to have time off school, infections like meningitis causes development delay.
It is important to know the difference between the sequence and the rate of development to recognise and highlight each child's needs in all stages of development. Some children and young people may need extra support in developing. These patterns will help to plan effectively and ensures the child gains the correct aid they need to progress in areas they may find challenging. 2:1 Children and young peoples development can be influenced by a range of personal factors. These factors can be a range of different things, from health status, disabilities, sensory impairment, generic inheritance and learning difficulties.

In my setting, if this is the case we will try to motivate the child, or if there is something more to it we try to find out why the child is feeling depressed, and get to the route of the problem. Another factor could be physical reasons, some children’s developmental plan could affected by their genetic code, this may mean that they are slow to develop in many areas for no specific reason. Children’s development could also be slowed down by difficulties in physical growth. In this cases in my setting we would try and encourage the child and meet that child’s individual needs by not pushing them to do the tasks of a more developed child.
092 Support young people to move towards independence and manage their lives 1.1 Explain the reasons why some young people may find it difficult to move to independence. Some young people may struggle to move to independence due to a multitude of different factors. A young person with attachment difficulties and a history of abusive or troubled relationships may not be equipped with the emotional resilience and external support to face independence without some level of difficulty. It is imperative for young people to feel supported and encouraged and an absence of this may cause a young person to revert to child like behaviours to achieve these basic needs. If a young person has physical of learning disabilities this would also effect their ability to move towards independence as they may require a more intensive amount of support from a care giver for a longer period of time than a young person without any disabilities.
3.2 Explain the reasons why children and young people’s development may not follow the expected patterns. There are many reasons why a child’s development not follow the expected pattern including; Disability this may affect a child’s emotional developments for many reasons. A child with a disability whether it is a physical disability or a learning disability may struggle to manage their thoughts and feelings, they may not be able to express those thoughts and feelings and as a result become increasingly frustrated. The child may be unable to form relationships with others in their peer group and may feel isolated and withdrawn. If a child with a disability has emotional developmental delay they may form friendships with children who are much younger than they are which could affect how their same age peers see them.
This may different from society and such things as schooling or traveling in community. Poverty A family with a low income may have poor accommodation and there mental and physical state may be affected Housing and community Poor quality or cramped housing conditions can negatively affect a child’s development, some community’s allow their children to challenge anti-social behaviour and this may isolate families or encourage Educational environment If a setting does not meet the statutory requirements may affect a child’s development and potential. Offending or anti-social behaviour Such behaviour by parents may result in child being taking in care or our care. Health status Child may suffer kidney disease or asthma, their education or home life may need support Disability In poverty a child may be a carer instead of using support Health support If families are suffering the child may be affected income continuity of care and educational development. Addictions Child living with addicted adults will be affected their main care Bereavement and loss Losing a family member may affect the child’s emotional state and physical health Family expectations and encouragement Different types of parenting have a range of expectations
If a child has language delay, foreign language as their first language or a speech impediment, which will prevent children from talking to each other as they will find it hard to interact as others will find it hard to understand them, and this will affect their social and emotional development which may cause them to become frustrated, annoyed, or upset at being unable to communicate with others easily, and then lack of confidence may follow on, affecting other areas of development, physically and intellectually as they may feel that they can not achieve and they may become low in self-esteem. There is always a counter balance to each negative. This for example can be seen as if a child is good at reading in a group it will increase his communication and social skills by allowing him to achieve well and participate in this particular area and at which will then increase his intellectual and emotional well being by making that child feel good about themselves and allowing to progress onto
