Rate is defined as... “The speed with which something moves or happens.” So as already stated development happens in the same order amongst all children but it may not happen at the same rate. For example no baby can learn to walk before it can sit up but it is not uncommon for one baby to learn to walk at 10 months and another baby will develop the skill at 18 months. The difference in these two is important because we need to recognise the sequence of development of the children or young people that you may be dealing with. Also we need to understand that the children cannot be compared to each other in terms of how they develop as each child will get there in their
1.2 DESCRIBE WITH EXAMPLES HOW TO BEHAVE APPROPRIATELY FOR A CHILD OR YOUNG PERSON’S STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT? First impressions are important for everyone not only child but for parents and people we work with. Children of different age will need varying levels of attention; some may be more advanced than others. Children with “special needs” will need more help. When we work with infants at nursery to help them with basics vocabulary and numeracy we need to choose media that will help them understand.
I also don’t agree with him saying cochlear implants wont work well for young children and there better off for “healthy adults.” I believe that is would probably be easier for children to learn how to use this cochlear implant as a tool because at those young ages they soak up all information they can receive, rather then adults who are sometimes stuck in their ways. I don’t know this for a fact but this is what I believe can also be a circumstance. I do agree with him saying there are a lot of risks for children but those risks can also be just as big as a risk for adults. Like in Kathryn’s article she says you need to look at the big picture and what great potential the cochlear implant can have for children or adults. I also don’t agree with what they both say about the deaf
Carefully introduce new information within a familiar structure in order for the child to learn and progress. Downplay the importance of handwriting skills in autistic children, since some motor skills can be compromised by autism. Instead, allow the autistic child to type answers on a keyboard. Place the monitor close to the keyboard, as many autistic children may have difficulty in establishing the connection between the two objects. Eliminate loud sounds, such as bells, PA systems and buzzers, from the learning environment.
Not only will the children speak efficiently and freely, they begin to use correct grammar such as plurals, pronouns, and tenses. Five to six year olds thinking process is still a bit naïve, they still confuse make believe and reality at times, and do not use logical thinking aside from that slight delay, they are well on their way to middle childhood years and will grasp these concepts in no time at all. Social and emotional development at this late stage in the early childhood years can be easily persuaded. Children at these ages love to mimic adults and older children. Even though he children are now able to distinguish right from wrong and honesty from dishonesty, they do not perceive or recognize the intent of all actions.
social influence, education. This indicates that the other unmentioned variables could have been an influential factor to the shown behaviour of the 44 thieves and it may not have been down to a break in attachment. Rutter suggests that rather than separation itself being responsible for the behaviour, it is much more important to look at the cause of the separation; Rutter (1970).Bowlby later developed a hypothesis – Attachment Theory (1969), which built on his initial theory of maternal deprivation and incorporated findings of his critics. Bowlby began to include evolutionary factors because “children come into the world biologically pre-programmed to form attachments with others, because this will help them survive.” (Mcleod, 2007) Further critics of Bowlby’s work have included Schaffer &Emerson (1964) who posit that”...infants became attached to other people...13% were attached to only one person; some had five or more attachments” (Mcleod, 2007) and Weisner & Gallimore (1977) argue that “mother’s are the exclusive carers in only a very small percentage of human societies; often there are a number of people involved in the care of
However, I was surprised to discover that just a few twisting of the words and some changes in the language could do the trick, while saving/and or creating the parent-and-child relationship. This book was aimed primarily at elementary-school-aged kids, but many of the lessons can be applied to toddlers quite easily, or even to adolescents and other adults. How to Talk so Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk provides true examples and confirmed ideas of how parents and teachers can improve their relationships with the children in their lives by improving their communication skills. The book is divided into seven chapters which address common ineffectiveness in communication, and how adults can help the child express the feelings evoked in the situation without acting out (i.e. describe the child’s feelings for him, listen and provide small feedbacks like “oh”, and avoid questioning), and think of the solution to the problem together and follow through instead of expecting the child to do what the adult wants, all the while leaving the child feeling empowered and unpunished.
How do they influence current practice? Cognitive – Jean Piaget | Main points of theory Piaget’s theory is sometimes referred to as a “constructive approach” because he suggested that children constructed or built up their thoughts according to their experiences of the world around them. He uses the term ‘schema’ to refer to a child’s conclusions or thoughts. He felt that learning was ongoing process with children needing to adapt (hence Piaget’s term ‘adaption) | Explain how does this theory influence current practice? If a parent was expecting a baby and maybe the other child wasn’t happy about it, we as a setting we could do role play with the dolls making references to when you have a baby brother or sister you could help mummy, you can cuddle the baby etc.
For example in my setting there is a child that has delayed speech he would play by himself and not join in with other children plus he was not using the right speech sounds that was very difficult to understand him but as his key worker made sure that i got him referred to a speech therapist and now there are some words that he can say and i can communicate with him more. 2 explain how speech, language and communication skills support each of the following areas in children development a) Learning Babies use facial expression and sounds to communicate needs and express themselves Toddlers use words and gestures to make connections and develop their knowledge and Understanding (E.g. more) Preschool they use words to express their ideas and develop their understating and ask Questions and make sense of the response. b) Emotional Babies use sound and facial expression to develop an attachment and relationship with their main
Infants are thought to first learn in terms of lines and angles and subsequently they put together these stimuli to form objects. Later on, children learn to infer object properties and how to interact with such objects. Another perspective suggests that perceptual understanding is innate, and that evolution enables infants to be born with these perceptual abilities to ensure survival of our species. In terms of pattern vision in newborn infants, empiricists suggest that infants have little to no pattern vision or attention to complex patterns during their first few weeks of birth because the need for visual learning. Along the same lines, the optimal complexity theory suggests that preferred complexity level starts with simple patterns in early weeks and later shifts to more complex patterns as information-processing capacity increases.
