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.
| Children are more settled at this age and have groups of friends, have a steadier pace of growing and learning. They work through various issues, such as the foundation for which competency is shown in the classroom, and relationship with peers and family. At this age children are eager learners. | Physical development during these years include, growth, the increase of muscle strength and the development in the brain contribute to better fine motor skill that help them to be better at writing, artwork, sewing or for even playing an instrument.

Males tend to grow facial hair and chest hair. Females develop breasts and will experience their first menstrual cycle. The brain also experiences development. The corpus callosum thickens, which allows individuals to process information better. 4.
By the time Dominic was 14 months old, he could climb everything! The following text is taken from www.silkysteps.co.uk Development is often referred to on a timeline and is broken down in ages. As development is more rapid in early years the milestones start by being quite close together before becoming further apart as baby becomes a child and then a young adult. The aspects of development that children are measured on are physical, language, social and emotional, and intellect. Physical development is usually very rapid early on in the child’s development.
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).
Children’s vocabulary and skills develop rapidly, especially in their early years so the sooner a problem is identified; the sooner support can be put in place to help the child’s development improve. If a delay is not identified risks could include: children not fulfilling their full potential, children experiencing problems with their learning and understanding of information, children struggling to become independent, children may suffer a sense of isolation, a child may become withdrawn, they could experience difficulty or loss of interest in making and keeping friendships, children may have a lack of motivation, they may suffer from depression, low self-esteem or low confidence, they may be unable to express feelings appropriately, they may be at risk from a possible regression of behaviour, children could suffer from separation anxiety and present anti-social
Shereatta Willis Kaplan University PS220 Unit 9 Assignment Early childhood development is defined as ,a set of concepts, principles, and facts that explain, describe and account for the processes involved in change from immature to mature status and functioning (Bukatko, 2008),development is also generally divided into three broad categories, physical development, cognitive development, and social emotional development. Physical development addresses any change in the body, including how children grow, how they move, and how they perceive their environment. Cognitive development pertains to the mental processes like, language, memory, and problem solving, that children use to acquire and use knowledge. Emotional and social development addresses how children handle relationships with others, as well as understand of their own feelings. Physical development in children follows a directional pattern, large muscles develop before small muscles, legs and arms develop before those in the fingers and hands, and children learn how to perform gross ,or large motor skills such as walking before they learn to perform fine ,or small, motor skills such as drawing.
This stage in Identity vs. Confusion and concerns adolescence children and the way they explore their independence and develop a sense of self. According to Erikson this stage of identity crisis is marked by rapid physical growth and hormonal changes, which take place between the ages of 12 and 18. In this stage Erikson believes that adolescence children go on a search for a new sense of continuity and sameness, and is concerned with the questions of
022 Understand the expected pattern of development for children and young people from birth to 19 years. Aspects of a child and young person’s development include: • Physical development – includes gross motor skills (using large muscle areas such as arms and legs), and fine motor skills (precise use of muscles such as hands and fingers). • Intellectual/communication – includes learning the skills of understanding and communicating with others. • Social and Emotional – includes the development of a child’s identity, the development of relationships and learning the skills of living in society.
