The baby can respond to sound and their heart will beat faster if a light is shined on the mother’s abdomen. The baby now has hair, eyelashes and eyebrows, as well as a strong grip and kick. By months 6 to 9, the baby can suck their thumb and will be more active when the mother lies down. How the mother feels affects the fetal activity. There is plenty of room in the womb so the baby can move around.
E1- Describe the development of children in a selected age range and in 2 areas of development. Physical Development: Physical development is important for 3 reasons Allows new learning to take place Allows further development-build on skills already perfected Enhances confidence/self esteem 0-6 months Babies learn how to control their muscles and movements. Baby’s development of fine motor skills can be watches hands and plays with fingers, clasps and unclasps hands and can hold a rattle for a moment. Its development of gross motor skills are, lifts head and chest up and waves arms and brings hands together over body. By one month, a baby can turns its head from side to side when lying on the back or belly, and can move its hands and arms.
Unit 022 Understand child and young person development Explain the secuance and rate of each aspect of development from birth-19 years i)Physical Age | Aspects of Physical development | Birth - 1yrs | Reflexes such as, swallowing and sucking, grasp, rooting eg moving head to find teat or nipple if the babies mouth or cheek is touched, this enables the child to find its milk. The baby gets less startled and more alert. The baby starts to lift and turn their heads. The baby starts to balance on their front lifting both hands and feet in the air. The baby is able to grab toys.
Developmental Process Presentation JCH Developmental Process Presentation There are many noticeable physical and mental differences between early childhood (2-6 years old) and middle childhood (6-10 years old). In early childhood their language and communication skills start to develop quickly. The child will begin to learn new vocabulary, the correct use of language in social settings and their grammar has noticeable changes. Even with all these advancements that are taking pace, it is still noticeable that these children are just in the beginning stages of learning as compared to children in middle childhood. In middle childhood children have already developed a set of language skills.

Task 1 Briefly outline the physical development of children and young people between birth and the age of 19. The physical development of children between the ages of 0 to 19 differs dramatically between the ages. From birth to 3 years of age a child’s skills are limited, varying from being able to do simple tasks like turning their head in response to sounds or movement around them , reaching out their hands when they want something and in turn being able to grab hold of an object which invariably ends up being put in their mouth. They smile, recognise their mother and respond to familiar sounds and people. The progression from 6 months to 2 year sees a child become more active and stable in their movements and activities.
When experiences happen, new information is used to modify, add to or change previously existing schemes. Building schemes is referred to as adaptation, this happens through direct contact with the child’s environment. Piaget saw that children would internally organize their schemes –old with new- and discard any useless information. Through trial and error children use movements and their mind to act out there intended scheme. For example, a toy that is hung in front of an infant causes the baby to want to touch it, once the baby touches the toy it swings.
A baby can communicate hunger, distress or tiredness by crying. When babies make eye contact and the closeness of primary carer and baby, especially during feeding. 1 month Physical Cognitive Communication Social, emotional and behavioural Babies begin to uncurl and startle less. Eyes can focus at a distance of 25-30 cm. Babies respond to a familiar voice and may stop crying.
Unit 1 – Child and Young Person Development 1.1.1.2 There are 3 stages of development in children which are Physical, Communication and Intellect and Social, emotional and behavioural. 0-3 Years – Physical development in this age group is accelerated. In the first year a baby will go from having very little control over their bodies to having some mobility such as crawling and rolling. Their movements at this stage are mainly focused on sucking and grasping. In a babies second year a babies physical development will continue and develop quickly.
From birth through to adulthood children continually grow, develop, and learn. A child’s development can be measured through social, emotional, intellectual, physical and language developmental milestones. In general, child development progresses from head to toe. Beginning at the top of the body and gradually moving downwards from inner to outer. Firstly gaining control of muscles close to the head and then moving outwards so the large muscles in the shoulders and upper arms/thighs are first and the extremities last from simple to complex; children progress from simple words to complex sentences from general to specific; emotional responses involve the whole body in young babies but may involve only the face in an older child It is important to understand how children develop physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually and to know that all areas of development
