Understand the factors that influence children and young people’s development and how these affect practice. Explain how children and young people’s development is influenced by a range of personal factors If a child was born with a condition or later develops one in life this could affect the child’s development. If the child has an illness such as asthma which affects the child’s breathing, due to this the child might be less likely to play and be active with their friends as their condition may restrict them for doing so. This may mean the child has less understanding of appropriate group interaction. Disabilities in a child can cause a development delay.
2. Explain how communication affects relationships in the work setting? To be able to care for a child in an effective way we must have a good, strong relationship with the child, their parents / carers and other professionals that may be connected to the child. This relationship is made stronger by the way in which we communicate and how good our communication is with each other. Some ways that relationships and communication are of importance in the early years are : Sharing & Gaining Information, Settling In / Establish New Relationship’s, Supporting children’s play & learning, Transitions.
This is so that these barriers do not put a strain on the partnership and relationship parents and practitioners have. Barriers can lead to the parents becoming more emotional such as anger or show distress about it. Leading onto more prejudice attitudes and having different expectations on rules. It can all spiral out of control if not stopped, which not the help the child would reach their full potential as the child is the main focus, as their wellbeing is one of the most crucial part (paramount) while in the setting. Barriers come in many forms, such as when key persons are doing observations and planning.
If we go and show bad attitude and show that we are negative to certain people around them. Then we could make children to be the same way, which is not a good example to them as young children don’t know the differences between right and wrong. As a teaching assistant it is my duty and responsibility to respect the children with there needs and accept them for who they are. The way I can do this is if I think about my own beliefs and opinions so I can learn not to judge others on the basis of their race, gender or religion etc. In my line
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.

when we have this barrier we must encourage them or ourselves that we have to have confidence and speak up this is because we must speak up in a setting or if we see something wrong then we have to tell someone. Lack of confidence is a hard barrier for someone to overcome so it’s vital they have support. We may have low self-esteem. When a person has low self-esteem they will feel down a lot of the time as they don’t think that they are good enough. They may think this because of their past or because they are being bullied.
092 Support young people to move towards independence and manage their lives 1.1 Explain the reasons why some young people may find it difficult to move to independence. Some young people may struggle to move to independence due to a multitude of different factors. A young person with attachment difficulties and a history of abusive or troubled relationships may not be equipped with the emotional resilience and external support to face independence without some level of difficulty. It is imperative for young people to feel supported and encouraged and an absence of this may cause a young person to revert to child like behaviours to achieve these basic needs. If a young person has physical of learning disabilities this would also effect their ability to move towards independence as they may require a more intensive amount of support from a care giver for a longer period of time than a young person without any disabilities.
Ofsted requirements need to be met and legislation may change so staff must be trained to the right standards and keep up to date with this information, this also benefits the profile of the setting and the care of the children. Staff will be more motivated if they are challenged and are able to widen there knowledge. 1.2 Some potential barriers to professional development can be: Ratios- if staff are of sick or on holiday courses may have to be cancelled as the ratio of the children to adults is important. Money- if the setting is not able to fund courses Courses- if there is not a course that may be of interest to the staff or does not benefit the setting. 1.3 There are many different sources and systems to support professional development these include: Books- settings need to provide up to date books on child development, children’s behaviour, making observations, activity books etc Magazines- magazines such as Nursery world are of great importance as it gives new and up to date information on changes in the nursery sector.
CYPOP 12 Support young people to move towards independence and manage their lives 1.1 Explain the reasons why some young people may find it difficult to move to independence As young people leave care they face a variety of challenges. Some meet and overcome these challenges, yet others struggle. Some reasons may include: * Incomplete attachment * Abuse * Exploitation * Disrupted or multiple placements * Repeated damaging or unsatisfactory relationships * Unresolved emotional issues * Physical disability * Learning difficulties * Mental health problems * Risks of threat Physical disabilities – In early stages of the young person moving into independence there may be poor transitional planning between multi-agencies preventing access to valuable support. The young person may not receive information correctly in relation to support and choices that are available to them due to the length of time that the young person will have spent with family or paid carers. They may not have developed and experienced independent social lives, access to transport and communication may be limited and placements may be too far away from close family support networks.
