He begins to express his needs through various facial expression which is another means of social interaction. Within 2 months, the social development advances to the ability of differentiating between facial expressions related to happiness, anger, fear and surprise. The baby differentiates and responds to these expressions appropriately, though he is unaware of the meanings-smiling when smiled at and feeling upset when you dont respond to his smile.

1. Understand the pattern of development that would normally be expected for children and young people from birth – 19 yrs. 2.1 Explain the sequence and rate of each aspects of development that would normally be expected in children and young people from birth – 19 years. Children’s development is continuous and can be measured in a number of different ways. Although all children will develop at different rates and in different ways, the sequence in which they develop will be roughly the same as they need to have developed one skill, for example walking, before they move on to develop another such as running and jumping.
