A child’s development will usually follow the same pattern, but the age at which they will reach ‘milestones’ in their development will vary depending on a variety of personal and external factors. All children will develop at different rates, but the sequence of development will be roughly the same. A child has to master a basic skill before they can move on to the next stage, such as rolling over leading to crawling, then to pulling themselves up onto furniture before they can master walking. Teaching practices aimed at child development should seek to simultaneously address each of the developmental areas. To develop to their fullest potential, children need a huge amount of support and guidance from others in their lives; failure to meet all of the needs of a baby or child can have serious consequences on his or her development.
1.2. Explain the difference between sequence of development and rate of development and why the difference is important. The sequence of development is the order that a child develops but this can vary in each child. For example one child may learn to sit up, then start to crawl and then start walking, but another may learn to roll over first, then sit up, start crawling backwards and then start to walk The rate of development is the speed of which a child develops but this will vary a great deal in each individual child. For example one child may learn to walk unaided before their first birthday but another child may not start walking unaided until after their first birthday.
1.2 Explain the development of movement skills in young children and how these skills affect other aspects of development. When thinking of movement skills you think of running, walking, jumping, rolling, crawling climbing and other methods which mainly involve some sort of travelling. Children learn all of these skills in stages, developing slowly until they are competent in doing them. For example, a child will learn how to walk before anything else as that is the first essential skill needed in order to move skilfully. Once they have mastered walking, they will then move onto jumping, skipping or hopping before then having the confidence to try running or more challenging skills like rolling or crawling.
Early identification of language delay must resolve two fundamental problems. The first is the problem of obtaining valid information for individual children at an age when they are often noncompliant, especially those children with limited communication skills who are the primary focus. The second problem is one of interpretation. Many children whose language is delayed at 24 or 30 months will catch up over the next few years, and do not warrant intervention. The challenge is to identify and use other relevant information to improve decisions about individual children.
Rate/Speed involves a time frame/speed linked to age in which a child develops. Another example is where one baby may achieve walking unaided at 10 months another may accomplish it at 12 months another at 16 months. When a child develops if they achieve this by sequencing it enables you to plan effectively and at the right time. When recording the rate of development it helps you to identify any concerns that you may have within the development area, this enables you to further investigate why this is happening. It's good to know they are different from each other the importance is in knowing how each has
CYP Core 3.1: Understand child and young person development 1 Understand the expected pattern of development for children and young people from birth – 19 years 1.2 Explain the difference between sequence of development and rate of development and why the difference is important. The difference between sequence of development and rate of development is that sequence means that there is a definite pattern in the way children develop e.g. where a child learns to walk before they run this is classed as a sequence and the rate of the development means the speed the child develops at. It is important to know the difference between the sequence of development and the rate of development as you need to be able to recognise that a child has developed well in one area and another may have been skipped or is going slow and the child may need extra help in this area so it is good to recognise the difference. 2.3 Explain how theories of development and framework to support development influence current practise.
Emotional development is the beginning of a child's experience, expression, understanding, and guideline of emotions from birth through late adolescence. It also includes how growth and changes in these processes concerning emotions occur. 4. Social development involves learning the principles, information and abilities that enable children to relate to others effectively and to contribute in positive ways to family, school and the community. Norms are the usual, typical or standard things to do in a society or community.
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.
Cognitive Development: Memory Support Amy Nigreville ECE353: Cognitive Development of Infants & Young Children Instructor: Tammy Cayuela February 11, 2013 Cognitive Development: Memory Support Introduction Memory is a dramatic part of cognitive development. It is necessary to basically encode ideas, retain information, and most importantly allow people to recall information over an extended period of time. Unfortunately, children are not able to habituate or learn if they are unable to encode objects, people, and places and eventually recall them from long-term memory. With that being said, memory plays a dramatic role in not only everyday life but the necessary key for overall functioning. As an instructor it is critical
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.
