Children can take responsibility for their actions, to feel good about their achievements and understand that their feelings and behaviour are linked.
Explain how to monitor children and young people’s development using different methods Observation: Observations can be taken during lessons or in the playground. They record what the child is doing in a subjective way. It's most appropriate to use this method when child's development is causing concern. Assessment framework: It is the way in which child is assessed to decide whether they have any particular needs and what these needs may be. It is useful in deciding whether the child is reaching expected milestones of development in different areas.
