Babies and toddlers struggle with this, but as language develops they find it easier because they can express their needs. Tantrums and other outbursts linked to frustration, jealousy or anger tend tot diminish as children find ways of talking through how they are feeling. This is one reason why it is thought good practice to ‘name’ emotions when working with young children, so that they begin to understand what they are feeling and have ways of expressing it other than through physical reactions alone. Being able to manage your own behaviour is about self-control. Young children are very impulsive and find it hard to control their behavioural but, once language is mastered, children’s behaviour changes.
Explain the difference between sequence of development & rate of development and why the difference is important? There is a fundamental difference between the sequence of development and the rate of development in children and young people. Firstly let me describe the meaning of the two terms “sequence” and “rate”. The oxford dictionary defines “sequence” as... “a particular order in which related things follow each other...” So in this topic we can say with confidence that a child will follow the same sequence of development as another. For example in a child that’s aged between 2-3yrs will (in their social development): • Continue to enjoy the company of others • Wants to please and seek approval from adults • Is still very egocentric and very protective of own possessions; unable to share with other children unless requested by an adult and it wants to please the adult.
2. Learning-Speech, language and communication skills support children’s learning development as they will be able to talk about experiences and what they have learnt during the day. Emotional- This is supported because as the child gets older and their language and communication skills develop they can express their needs. Also you may notice that the child as it gets older is less frustrated as they will be able to express how they are feeling by using words instead of throwing a tantrum. Behaviour- Speech, language and communication skills support children’s learning development as children find it hard to control their behaviour but once language is present they seem to have more control and it is thought that may be children think their behaviour through also they focus on the consequences of their actions.
A learning disability affects the way a person learns new things in any areas of life. It affects the way they understand information and how they communicate. A learning disability means that it is harder for a child to learn, understand and communicate than it is for other children. A learning disability can be mild, moderate or severe. Some people with a mild learning disability can talk easily and look after themselves, but take a little longer than usual to learn new skills.
Children initially rely on reflexes, eventually modifying them to adapt to their world. Behaviors become goal directed, progressing from concrete to abstract goals. Objects and events can be mentally represented by the child. | Preoperational Stage(2-7 years) | This stage of development allows a child to increase his/her mental representation of objects, generally through make-believe play. Piaget states that language is the most flexible means of mental representation, but that children do not yet have the capability to solely use language as a means of representation.
When we communicate with adults it is slightly different, the language we use will be more complex and the sentences will flow a bit faster. Good eye to eye contact and facial expressions are important to help you convey your message, and to be able to decode their emotions and feelings. Adults also need to feel valued, so good listening skills are keys to effective communication and allowing the other person time to answer before you start talking again, never guess what a person is trying to say. Communication isn't just achieved by verbally expressing yourself though. Some organisations exchange pictures and symbols on a board to communicate feelings, choices, wants and needs.
Teenagers may become more self-conscious about speaking in front of others and may get embarrassed more easily. It is important that they are given more time in groups to build up confidence and that they are allowed to have their say. Their linguistic skills broaden, they are able to co operate with others, lead as well to follow. 1.3 Describe how to deal with disagreements between children and young people. Disagreements will occur on a regular basis, many at break and lunch times, but also in the classroom.
They are able to think in logical and rational ways. At this age they understand that others may hold opinions and have feelings that are different from their own. Academically, children around the age of six can now read and write indepently with little help and are ready to begin more complex tasks. They have a longer attention span and continue to prefer structured activities to more open ended experiences. By now they are enjoying taking on new roles and responsibilities, but still require guideness from adults.
An autistic individual is usually more visually-oriented, and will respond more quickly to diagrams and pictures than words. Flash cards with words mated to a corresponding picture can be particularly effective. Establish a set routine, with specific schedules for the teacher and the student to follow each day. Autistic children use routines to feel safe, and will resist aggressively if that routine is upset. Carefully introduce new information within a familiar structure in order for the child to learn and progress.
We can definitely communicate more effectively now with our computerized gadgets. They allow us to speak and see people from all over the world. * How do you think the new forms of language and abundance of diverse communication methods will affect our children and youth? Right now it worries me to see how children use short forms of words to make whole sentences that don’t always make sense. On the other hand, having access to the whole world makes it easier to learn new
