Unit 201 Child and young person development From birth until 19 years of age children and young people will tend to exhibit certain similarities which have complied into a development plan. Although children and young people are different and have different experiences, they grow and develop in a similar way. Babies are usually born at 40 weeks, which is a full term pregnancy. At this early stage they show signs of recognition towards their mother, they know her voice and smell. They even know that if they cry it is a sign of distress which lets people know they need help.
an appropriate size/shaped rattle.

As we know, infants and toddlers are such a joy to be around. They bring a certain type of happiness to not only their parents, but family, friends and those who come in contact with them. Infants and toddlers do not stay babies for very long. As soon as a child enters out of its mother’s womb, he or she begins the developmental process. Infants and toddlers grow quickly, or should I say “in a blink of an eye”.
Daily physical activity is necessary for building strong bones and muscles as well as strengthening hearts and lungs. Exercise also helps young children to improve their gross motor skills, including running, kicking, throwing, and swinging. Regular physical activity can greatly decrease children's risk of becoming obese and developing associated health problems, as well as promoting better sleep. As well, since many young children play with other kids, exercise time can also help young children to develop good social skills such as sharing, communicating, and empathizing. Play time can also become a family experience which serves to bond family members together and allow adult members an opportunity to model healthy exercise habits for children.
