Family background can effect a child's development by the family's values the culture and the way the child is encouraged and cared for all can effect the child development. The child environment can effect the development of the child e.g. Housing condition , opportunities for play and educational. Poverty and deprivation can affect the child's development because Lack of money can lead to poor nutrition and lack of opportunity and also lower expectations. Children and young people in the care system are more vulnerable,often due to the lack of stability and attachment disorder this can affect their emotional ,social and academic development.
Each young person is an individual and will mature and develop at different rates and time scales. It is important to factor this in when working with young people on an independence plan as one plan will not suit all young people. As previously mentioned a young person with mental or physical disability may require more intense care and support for a longer amount of time than a
Maturity: As people grow and develop, maturation is different from either growth or development; this is used when development is assumed to be due to a genetically programmed sequence of change. For example, your experience of puberty can be explained as caused by an inbuilt genetic process which unfolds as you grow older. Puberty can be seen as maturation. Development: it is used to describe the changes that might be complex and involve a change in the character in some competency as well as that is measured in quantity (height or weight). Most social intellectual and emotional change across the lifespan are described as development.
Discuss Kohlberg’s theory of gender development. Kohlberg’s Gender Consistency Theory basically argues that the development of a consistent gender identity can be seen as part of the child’s more cognitive development. Young children find concepts such as conservation hard but older children do not. Similarly as children get older they understand that there can be different perspectives on a situation to their own. The child responds to the influence of other people but is actively engaged in developing its own concept of its and others genders.
Psy/375 week 2 infancy paper Megan Lemons Infancy and Child Development Paper 6/9/14 PSY/375 Matthew Warren There are many different approaches and requirements when it comes to parenting. Other than the different approaches and requirements to parenting environment and the child’s genes play a major role in the successful upbringing of a child. The requirements that go along with raising a child is being able to give that child the attention it needs at a young age. A child is going to have issues if the parent is not giving the child the necessary interaction that requires a child to be successful in the developmental process. Some of the different approaches to parenting are authoritarian, permissive, uninvolved and authoritative these are similar in a way but very different at the same time.
1. Understand the pattern of development that would normally be expected for children and young people from birth-19years. 1.1 Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development that would normally be expected in children and young people from birth-19 years. 1.2 Analyse the difference between sequence of development and rate of development and why the distinction is important. 1.3 Analyse the reasons why children and young people’s development may not follow the pattern normally expected 2 Understand the factors that impact on children and young people’s development 2.1 Analyse how children and young people’s development is influenced by a range of personal factors 2.2 Analyse how children and young people development is influenced by a range of external factors.
All of these things can put parents at risk for becoming depressed.” Another cause, is the fact that the transition into parenting can be a very stressful time in a person’s life. This can be very worrisome as research has found that depressed fathers were most likely to neglect their children and resort to physical punishment towards their child. As well as, it being less likely that they will read and interact with their children on an academic level. In particular, it is troublesome among Latinos because there is the lack of Spanish speaking health care providers, for those latino fathers. As well as there is less information regarding Latinos and mental health, leading these men to be less likely to search out help.
The term “plastic” suggests development can go in many directions and can be influenced by events occurred in the past (Berger, 2008). A great deal of people will put emphasis on the plasticity of the human lifespan; one can see this in the example of a child who is suffering from a lack of nutrition. The child could possibly suffer from a reduce in understanding but when
As much as natural conditions such as genetics or biological conditions influences the way brain develops, the influence of external stimuli on the level and procedure of development is undeniable. The environment that the infant is growing up in can be set up by the parents of another party to stimulate the brain. Whether the environment is set up by caregivers or not, the experiences that the child goes through, predicts the physical development of his or her brain. More stimulation can be interpreted as better and more brain development. However negative aspects of over-stimulation should be taken intro consideration.
Another main controversy is with Piaget’s broad grouping of the stages affecting cognitive tasks. A more accurate depiction of children’s development would be to state that “children’s skills develop in different ways on different tasks and that their experience can have a strong influence on the pace of development” (Slavin, 2009,
