CHCLD415A – Confirm client developmental status: Assignment 1 Rhonda Jolliffe 8/1/2015 Questions1. for each family member: a) Identify the current stage of lifespan development 10 marks Alice – Adolescence -10-20 Start of puberty. It is controlled by seeking individuality from parents and emerging one's personality. Compared to the child, a teenager's thought courses are more consistent, composite and idealistic. (Peterson, 2010) Joel - Childhood 2-10 throughout this period, children become progressively independent from their parents as they learn to do things themselves and additional achievement self-control.
“In some ways developing this bond may be instinctive as, at birth, babies are able to recognise the smell of their mother and are quickly soothed when they hear her voice.” (Tassoni 2007:54) 1-2 years Children begin to learn more social skills during this age, which begins with the child being able to play with their carer and show that they’re comfortable with recognisable adults. A child aged 1-2 years old language development extends at this age. At this age the child is very interested in names of people, places and objects. “Although they are still dependent on their primary carer, they are starting to realise that they are an individual.” (Tassoni 2007:55) 2-3 years At the age of 2-3 years old, children are aware of what they want to do, but become easily frustrated as their physical and language skills are not developed as their emotional development. Although at this age children are becoming more social with other people, they’ll still often feel that they need their comforter.
At birth, babies already know they are similar to other people. By nine months, babies can differentiate between expressions of happiness, sadness, and anger. By the age of one year, babies develop an understanding of appropriate responses to their environment by observing the people around them. At a year and a half, babies learn that people have different desires and attitudes. By two years old, children begin testing and exploring this idea.
0 to 3 years: Physical Development: Rapid development of gross motor skills and fine motor skills leading to crawling and mobility followed by improvement of skills for eye and hand co-ordination. Communication and Intellectual Development: Adult communication with babies should lead to speech and an increase in their vocabulary as well as the successful use of negatives and plurals in their speech patterns. Social, Emotional and Behavioural Development: Children begin to form their individual identities and develop emotional attachments the earliest of which is likely to be with parents and carers. 3 to 7 years: Physical Development: More co-ordinated movements leading to running, kicking and even better eye and hand co-ordination leading to drawing and writing. Communication and Intellectual Development: Children will have the ability to phrase questions and be able to use past and future tense in their communications as well as improvements with writing and numeracy.
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.
Cu2935 Support Children’s Care, Learning and Development in Early years 1. Understand the import of early year’s curriculum models on the application of theoretical perspectives of children’s care, learning and development. 1.1 Outline early year’s curriculum models supporting children’s care, learning and development. Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences between birth and age 5 have a major impact on their future life.
More children are entering foster care in the early years of life when brain growth and development are most active.11–14Duringthe first 3 to 4 years of life, the anatomic brain structures that govern personality traits, learning processes, and coping with stress and emotions are established, strengthened, and made permanent.15,16 If unused, these structures atrophy.17 The nerve connections and neurotransmitter networks that are forming during these critical years are influenced by negativeenvironmental conditions, including lack of stimulation, childabuse, or violence within the family.18 It is known that emotionaland cognitive disruptions in the early lives of children have the potential to impair brain
Physical changes include the loss of "baby fat," the legs become longer and thinner, and they move around with improved dexterity (Landers, 2013). Parents notice that their children begin to talk incessantly using complete sentences. Children at this age listen intently to interesting stories. In early childhood, preschoolers become possessive with their belongings or with an object that they are playing with, asserting their rights by the "mine" theory. If they possess a strong sense of self, they are more capable of reasoning and cooperating in resolving a dispute (Berk, 2010).
Nothing in this world is more important than learning how and why your body and mind change so drastically. In Early childhood, children grow and develop “slower than they did during the first two years of life” Berk, L. E. (2010). These children become taller and thinner, they also have new bone growth, and they begin to loose their “primary teeth” Berk, L. E. (2010). During early childhood balance, motor control, and thinking are all increased; while the “reticular formation, hippocampus, and corpus callosum, are also developing at an equally rapid rate” Berk, L. E. (2010). As children continue to grow and loose the “baby fat”, they all slim down.
Developmental stage analysis The first client I chose for analysis is Ben who is 2 years old and he is beginning the process of potty training. The development period which Ben is going thru is considered early childhood which last from 2 years old to 6 years old. At this point Ben will continue to refine physical development that began during the first year of life. Some of the developmental changes that will happen to Ben include, motor skills improving, they get taller and start to lose their baby fat. They have significant advances in their motor control, they start to do things such as walk, run, and jump.
