[1] Startle Reflex: When a baby hears a loud sound or see’s a bright light they will react by moving their arms out and clenching their fists. Another stimulus for this reflex is if you don’t support or hold the neck and head properly. This reflex goes away at around two months. [1] Rooting reflex: When a baby’s cheek or mouth is touched they will turn to look for a teat to feed from. This is usually disappears by around four months.
Infants and toddlers grow quickly, or should I say “in a blink of an eye”. Infants and Toddlers go through different types of stages during the developmental process. Infants and toddlers do not have the full ability to verbally express their feelings and thought. Therefore, infants and toddlers interact with the world through physical, cognitive, social, emotional and motor development. Jean Piaget best described the stages from birth to two years in what he called the sensorimotor stage.

Running head: EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN EARLY CHILDHOOD Emotional Development in Early Childhood Emotional Development in Early Childhood Introduction Emotional development is what comes with maturity. As a newborn child, emotions tend to be very new. As a child grows with age, the emotional perspectives of the individual develop slowly and eventually they are completed as a child matures. Emotional development is influenced by many factors including the environment and the experiences of life. Such experiences are essential, making it possible for people to handle and deal with everyday life experiences.
TDA 2.1 Child And Young Person Development 1.1 Describe the expected pattern of children and young people’s development from birth to 19 years, to include: - Physical Development - Communication and Intellectual Development - Social, Emotional and Behavioural Development 1.2 Describe with examples how different aspects of development can affect one another. Birth – 3 Months Physical Development: * From birth a baby’s reflexes allow them to turn their head to suckle when you touch their cheek. * The baby can flex their fingers, arms and legs. * By 1 month a baby should be able to follow a light with their eyes, if only for a short period of time. * From 4-8 weeks babies should be able to slightly lift their head when laid on their front.
0 to 3 years is a period of fast physical development. When born babies have very little control over their bodies. They have primitive reflexes such as sucking, grasping and rooting. Their head control is unsteady, but they will grasp at objects when they touch the palms of their hands. As they progress up to 12 months they will learn to watch movements of their own hands, they will be able to roll over, sit with support, sit without support, reach out for toys when sitting, and crawl or shuffle along the floor.
THE EXPECTED PATTERN OF CHILDREN BETWEEN BIRTH AND 19 YEARS It is important to learn a child’s way of development and physical growing, by a child’s physical development so they can be supported for their individual needs. Children’s development can be measured by milestones… 0 – 1 YEAR • See fuzzy objects, shapes • Grasp an object • Suck, swallow • Recognise their mothers voice and smell • Cry when hungry, in pain, need changing or simply wanting a cuddle • Being startled by a loud noise. 1 -3 YEARS • Moving about – crawling, shuffling, stand with support • Sit up on their own, feed themselves • Use their hands to skilfully move an object. • Dropping something on the floor and looking where it has gone • Wave hello and goodbye • Point at someone/ something with their fingers • Babbling, or say one word I e mama, dada to communicate • They will know who their parent are, they may cry if left with some one that they don’t know! 3 – 7 YEARS • Run, climb, pedal a tricycle • Walk up stairs • Talk clearly • Tell clearly the difference between a boy/girl • Build a tower of bricks • Undo a button and thread beads • Role play and dress up • Play co – operatively with other children • Like reading books and painting • Copying an adult, help out • Having less tantrums better temper PAGE 1 7 – 12 YEARS • Throw and kick a ball • Ride a bike • Use scissors, build a model • Write clearly • Draw meaningful pictures in detail • Take turns • Make jokes • Dress themselves • Get scared/frightened e.g.
Answer: 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.
0-19 Child DevelopmentAge ranges | PhysicalDevelopment | Communication and Intellectual Development | Social, Emotional and Behaviour Development | Moral | Infants 0-1Infants 0-1 continued | There are many different stages in a baby’s Physical development and each child is different. New born development is the reflexes they have which they do without even thinking it like a survival mode, like swallowing, moving their head trying to find the mothers breast to suckle on for food, grasping things that are in their hands, they can react to light and sounds by moving their arms, legs and clenching of their hands. At one month they haven’t really changed much in development as there body is still not strong they will just be just doing more
It is an important aspect to carry out when allowing children to play, as it encourages children to be independent learners, and allows them to understand and learn about life and the world. This can be through carrying out role play through this they are able to act out situations of which encourages them to express their emotions developing and meeting their emotional
