Unit 022 Understand Child and Young Person Development Outcome 1 Understand the expected pattern of development for children and young people from birth - 19 years 1. Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth – 19 years. The sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth – 19 year. Children and young people do follow the development pattern. Birth Physical Children’s physical development at birth is rooting reflex.
Communicative development A baby will cry when hungry right from day one. At around 5 -6 weeks a baby will coo when contented and at 3 months will smile at a smiling face. At 6 months they will show they are understanding a little of what’s going on around them and will hold out their hands to be picked up. Intellectual/cognitive development A new baby will recognise the sound of his mother’s voice and smell. At one month the baby will stop crying when hearing a familiar voice.
1.1 Explain the pattern of development in the first three years of life and the skills typically acquired at each stage When working with babies and toddlers it has been stated to have a clear understanding of the developmental stages for the first three years of their lives, this is important because of how it will impact their development for the years to come after The first year, babies focus on exploring and learn about the things around them, at this stage learning language is about making sounds rather than words. Gradually they start listening, understanding and learning names of people and things that are in connection to their language development. Also during this stage babies begin developing bonds and trusts with parents/careers and others as part of social and emotional development. In their second year, toddlers begin using movement more, and are also beginning to be aware of themselves and the things around them. In this stage toddlers will start showing more independence.
Child and young persons development. 1.1 These are the expected patterns of children’s development from 0-19. Although children develop at different stages they all follow a similar patten. 0-1 years old. Physical development.
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.
The baby will begin to coo and gurgle in response to interaction from carer. Bt three months the baby will recognise and link familiar sounds such as the face and voice of a carer, will try to have a conversation with the carer and imitate high and low sounds, will aslo return and give smiles. | Smiles from about 5 weeks, begins to respond to familiar sounds, engaged by peoples faces and by three months starts to discover what she/he can do and this creates a sense of self. If the primary carer leaves the room baby may cry not yet understanding that person exists and will come back. Shows feelings such as excitement and fear, reacts positively to a carer who is kind and southing if a carer does not respond to a baby, the baby may stop trying to interact.
At birth babies depend on reflexes for movements to enable them feel or grasp when touching something. By 6 months a child will: * Turn their head toward sounds and movement * watch an adult's face when feeding * smile at familiar faces and voices - reach up to hold feet when lying on their backs * look and reach for objects * hold and shake a rattle * put everything in their mouths. Between 6 months and 1 year: * Move from sitting with support to sitting alone. * Roll over from their tummy to their back. * Begin to creep, crawl or shuffle on their bottom.
Life skills will teach them about behaviour and emotional development. In the chart that follows on the next page you will be able to see a plan of some of the aspects of physical, communicative, social and emotional behavioural development. Throughout my own sons life and through other children I have known, I have noted how children have changed from babies to young adults. Every child is different it seems although they just do the same things at different stages. Some later than others dependant sometimes on if a child is prematurely born, or has learning difficulties.
CYP 3.1 Task 1: Understand the expected pattern of development for children and young people from birth – 19 years. 1.1 Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth – 19 years. Birth to 4 weeks Physical Development – Lies on back with head to one side Head lags when pulled up to sit Primitive reflexes, i.e. rooting, sucking, stepping, grasping Social and Emotional Development – Responds positively to main carer Imitates facial expressions Stares at bright shiny objects Language and communication Development - Cries when basic needs require attention, for example hunger, tiredness, distress Intellectual Development – Birth Blinks in reaction to bright light Turns to soft light Stares at carer Cries when basic needs require attention 1 month Physical Development – Head control still unsteady Hands in tight fists Grasps objects when they touch the palm of the hand Head and eyes move together Social and Emotional Development – Gazes intently at carers Social smile at carers (by 6 weeks) Language and communication Development – ‘Freezes’ when a bell is rung gently close to the ear, moves head towards the sound Stops crying at sound of human voice (unless very upset) Coos in response to carer’s talk Intellectual Development - Stares at soft light Gaze caught by and follows dangling ball 3 months Physical Development – Kicks legs and waves arms Can lift head and turn when on front Watches movements of own hands, plays with own hands Holds rattle for a few seconds if placed in hand Uses arms for support when lying on stomach Turns from back to side Holds on to and shakes small items Social and Emotional Development – Smiles, engages and vocalises with carers Language and communication Development - Becomes quiet and turns head towards sound of rattle near head Vocalises when
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.
