Development is often referred to on a timeline and is broken down into ages. The development is more accelerated in the early years, the mile stones are close together. As a child becomes a young adult the milestones become further apart. The development of children is measured in 4 main areas: • Physical development • Social and emotional development • Intellectual development • Language development It is then split further down into age ranges as follows. Physical Development From Birth to Three Months: A child will be able to root, suck and grasp a finger, it can make a fist.
A Childs Development is continuous and develops in stages. This can be measured in a number of ways taking a holistic approach, looking at the person as a whole . Physical, social/emotional, intellectual, communication and language. Physical Development 0-3 months. During this time the infant will sleep much of the time and will grow quite fast.
It is usually very rapid early on in the child’s development. Within weeks of being born a baby will start to smile and respond to sounds and environments around them. By 6 months as their muscles begin to develop they will reach for and hold objects which they will also put into their mouths. 0 – 3 Years Physical development at this stage is usually very rapid. At birth babies depend on reflexes for movements to enable them feed or grasp whenever they touch something.
| 0-3 years | 3-7 years | 7-12 years | 12-16 years | 16-19 years | Physical Development | Fast period of development. Babies have little control over their body and movements are dependent on reflexes. 12mths have more control, crawling rolling. 2yrs-grow and develop quickly, walking, pointing, climbing and playing ball with their confidence developing along the way. Using books, pencils and crayons.
Teaching Assistant Level 2, Assignment 1 (unit ref H/601/3305) Question 1.1: Describe the expected pattern of children and young people's development from birth to 19 years. A) Physical Development: 0-3 Years: When Babies are born they do not have alot of control over what their bodies can do. Their heads have to be supported as they have not got strong enough neck muscles. Growth is rapid at this age and within a few weeks they are able to start to smile and respond to sound. As they get older they will be able to sit and then crawl.
Learning outcome 1 know the main stages of child and young person development 1.1 Describe the expected pattern of children and young peoples development from birth to 19 years physical development At 0-3 years New born babies have little control over their bodies. Their movement depends on series of reflexes, as they get older they start to develop series of movements and actions called the ‘gross motor skills’ such as crawling, sitting, grabbing, pointing, running, rolling, hopping, jumping, and so on. In their second year, children should have better ability to control their movement. In their third year, children would start to develop some ‘fine motor skills’ such as painting, colouring, and scribbling. They would enjoy looking at, and turning the pages of books.

Every child develops at a different rate, however there is a basic order in which development occurs in children and through which progress can be measured and assessed. A child’s development generally occurs in the following ways From head to toe From inner to outer From simple to complex From general to specific A child’s development can be further broken down in to the following areas: Physical Development Social and emotional Development Intellectual Development Language Development. All these areas of development are as important as the others and they all intertwine and impact on the others. Development moves quickly in early years with the milestones being close together. Physical Development Within weeks of birth, a baby starts to smile in response to sounds and environments around him.
Sarah Sunderland Unit TDA 2.1 1.1 Describe the expected pattern of children and young peoples development from birth to 19 years, to include: a. Physical Development: 0-3 Years New born babies depend on flexes as they do not have much control over their bodies as they grow they start to develop movements and actions called gross motor skills this includes crawling, sitting up grabbing objects, being able to hold objects with a good grip, running and jumping. When they reach 2 years of age they should have more control of their movements and when they turn 3 they will start to develop fine motor skills such as painting, colouring, turning pages of books and at this stage they should be able to feed themselves and should be able to hold a cup. 3-7 Years Development at this stage can differ with each child as all children develop at their own stages but they should have improved in their fine motor skills so they should be able to handle scissors, take part in sports for example they will be able to hold a bat and hit a ball, they will start to learn to write their own name and draw pictures. 7-12 Years At this stage children will have their own hobbies and interests, they will take part in more sporting such as football and tennis They will be able to control their movements and flexes for example they will be able to take part in gymnastics and dancing.
CYP Core 3.1: Understand child and young person development 1.1 Explain the sequence and rate aspect of development from birth – 19 years. Children development is constant and can be measured in a number of different ways. Although children develop at different rates and in different ways, the sequence of development is generally the same as they need to have developed one skill before moving onto the other, for example a child must learn how to walk before they can run. Physical development is usually very rapid early on in the child’s development. Within weeks of being born a baby will start to smile and respond to sounds and environments around them.
