From birth to 19 years a child should achieve a number of significant development areas, these are determined by a sequence of development and the rate of development. Rate/Speed involves a time frame linked to age. Sequence/Order involves patterns and an order of development linked to body, mobility and intellectual growth - sequence can include an order that's both positive and negative - deterioration. Rate - what happens at 1 year old, 24 months old, 7 years old? Sequence - how things happen in an expected order, sequence i.e.
Unit 7 Task 1 Explain the legal status and principles of the relevant early year framework/s and how national and local guidance materials are used in settings Early Years Foundation Stage(EYFS) Framework is mandatory for all early years Ofsted registered settings in Great Britain that are attended by young children, from birth to the end of academic year in which a child has his/her fifth birthday. In September 2008 England has introduced a National curriculum for children from 0-5 who attend, are cared and educated outside their homes. As England is form from four nations, which have different approaches in planning and providing early ears education, and are in different stages of working their frameworks, they worked their own frameworks.

The brain grows very rapidly during the first several years of life. During this time, your child is learning all sorts of new skills. Because children usually acquire developmental milestones or skills during a specific time frame or "window", we can predict when most children will learn different skills. Children develop skills in five main areas of development: 1. Cognitive Development This is the child's ability to learn and solve problems.
How Birth Order Affects a Person’s Life An alarming number of scientists agree that a person’s birth order is one of numerous factors that determine a person’s overall life. For the past twenty-five years, scientists have been interested in the study of birth order. They have discovered a person is closest to their own family, which helps the production of the individual’s personality. The personality is determined by one’s parents and how the parents react with their new child as well as the children that already exist within the family. Even though people tend to believe birth order is determined by generics and environment, initially a person’s personality is determined by their birth order.
Related terms include developmental psychology, referring to development throughout the lifespan, and pediatrics, the branch of medicine relating to the care of children. Developmental change may occur as a result of genetically-controlled processes known as maturation,[1] or as a result of environmental factors and learning, but most commonly involves an interaction between the two. It may also occur as a result of human nature and our ability to learn from our environment. PHYSICAL GROWTH: Physical growth in stature and weight occurs over the 15–20 years following birth, as the individual changes from the average weight of 3.5 kg and length of 50 cm at full termbirth to full adult size. As stature and weight increase, the individual's proportions also change, from the relatively large head and small torso and limbs of the neonate, to the adult's relatively small head and long torso and limbs.
The preschool years, age three to five years, are the next step after toddlerhood. A child should continue to make vast progress in their language, motor skills development, and their overall view of the world (McGoldrick, Carter, & Garcia-Preto, The Expanded Family Life Cycle: Individual, Family, and Social Perspectives, 2011). According to Erikson these preschool years are referred to as the stage of “initiative versus guilt” (Cloninger, 2004). The goal of this stage is for the child to develop more purpose. This stage builds upon the autonomy the child has developed.
Humans develop throughout their life span, while Freud said that our personality is shaped by the age of five. Erikson’s eight stages of personality development are characterized by basic life conflicts. In each stage, Erikson believed people experience a conflict that served as a turning point in development. Erikson also believed that a sense of competence also motivates behaviors and actions. During these times, the potential for personal growth is high, but so is the potential for failure.
Sarah Kingham Psychology of Education: What is lifespan development and how does it relate to lifelong learning? Lifespan development, or what can also be referred to as life course development, can be defined as, ‘the sequence of events and experiences in a life from birth until death, and the chain of personal states and encountered situations which influence, and are influenced by this sequence of events’ (Runyan, 1978 as cited in Sugarman, 1986). Our society has constructed a series of systematic events, often related to age, that individuals progress through throughout their lifetime. There is said to be different types of change over the lifespan; changes which are ‘common to everyone in a species which are linked to specific ages’, changes which are ‘less universal’ and are often shared by subgroups i.e. different cultures, and also changes which are of a result of a ‘unique, nonshared event’ (Bee, 1997a).
