ommunication Describe the expected pattern of children and young peoples communication development from birth to nineteen years. Communication development it anything to do with our speech and language development, the way we interact with the world around us, gather information, social awareness of situations and how to conduct ourselves when building relationships, among other things. Birth - 4 Months: • Coos, then babbles. These first sounds, apart from crying are intentionally made to show pleasure. Crying with different tones and intensities communicates a need or unhappiness.
| If the baby is pulled into a sitting position, the head will lag the back curves over and the head falls forward. | The baby’s hands are usually tightly closed. | | The baby reacts to loud sounds but by one month may be soothed by particular music | The first month Communication and language Development | Babies need to share language experiences and cooperate with others from birth onwards. Babies need other people from the start. | The baby responds to sounds especially familiar sounds.
Between four to eight weeks the baby begins to turn from their side to back and can lift their head briefly from the lying on their tummy. Their arm and leg movements are jerky and uncontrolled and their head will lag if pulled to a sitting position. They will recognise their carer and familiar objects and will coo and gurgle. Their cry becomes more expressive depending on whether they are tired, hungry or need changing and usually stops crying when they see or hear a familiar voice. From eight to twelve weeks a baby will lift their head and chest when lying on their tummy and there is almost no head lag when in a sitting position.
The child may develop a rash. The child may become irritable, the child may also have a high temperature. Child may not want to eat or drink anything. Child may hold stomache or area of pain. Child may cry out in pain if area on body is touched.
an appropriate size/shaped rattle. He/she learn to roll from side on to back and try to lift head, he/she also needs opportunities to play and exercise with items such as soft toys, cloth books and a play matt with different textures and sounds to help progress their physical development, their grasp reflex diminishes as hand and eye coordination begins to develop. Communication and intellectual development at 0 to 3 months. He/she will start to recognise familiar voices and stop crying when hearing them, they are more likely to recognise their parents voice and concentrate on them rather than unfamiliar ones, he/she are also aware of other sounds and will turn their head toward the sound. A baby of this age will respond to smiles and will move their whole body in response to sound/ to attract attention, he/she sees everything in relation to their self this is know as Egocentric.
Two year old children seem to turn intentionally difficult and challenge their parents constantly, letting desire take control. At this age, toddlers are focused on understanding other people, and the need to live happily with others slips away. The author's essay also explores how adults' behavior can influence a child's actions. Alison questions whether adults have a natural capability to help children learn in this essay. This is proven to be true by the simple use of a sing-song voice when speaking to a child and how it
b) Each group of bilingual and monolingual learners had to look at screens in anticipation of visual stimulations with puppets associated with sound cues with the image. c) The bilingual babies beat the monolingual babies even when the sound cues changed from nonsense syllable combinations to a structured sound cue and then a visual cue. d) The bilingual babies have an advantage in thinking that involved in so-called executive function which helps regulate abilities such as being able to start and stop activities. e) Early bilingual exposure could train the mind in a more general sense rather than just a language –specified sense as some researchers had suggested. f) According to Mehler since the bilingual babies don’t know how to speak yet, no one can attribute the knowledge of two languages to them.
Their first teeth may have appeared and bite on everything they can see. They are becoming more inquisitive with objects, passing them between their hands and looking for things that are hiding. Language Development Babies will begin to watch faces and mouths while trying to copy movements and sounds. They will begin to vocalize, squeal, cry, laugh and say dada and mama. Social and Emotional Development Babies begin to recognize faces while smiling and attaching to parents.
They also present the so-called Moro Reflex, which occurs when they feel as if they are falling: they tend to spread out and unspread their arms as if they were trying to grab something, and they usually cry meanwhile. These are responses to some specific sensory inputs, that prove that infants can actually perceive some aspects of the reality around them, even in the first days of their life. The most common method scientists use to understand infants perception is looking at their eyes: babies have visual preferences, and for this reason they observe different situations and objects for different time intervals. Robert Fantz (1961) was a pioneer on
* 0 to 6 months * 6 to 18 months – the ‘doing’ stage * 18 months to 3 years – the ‘thinking’ stage * 3 to 6 years – the stage of ‘self awareness and imagination’ * Normal but challenging behaviours * 6 to 12 years – the stage for limits and structure * Teenagers ------------------------------------------------- 0 to 6 months The only way that new babies can communicate is by crying and some do it more than others. If a baby is unsettled, try to make them more settled by checking that their nappy is clean, that they are not too hot or too cold, that they are not hungry or that they do not have wind. Give a baby as much attention as you can but if you feel that something is not right, or if it gets too stressful, then seek advice from a friend or health professional straight away. 6 to 18 months – the ‘doing’ stage Around this age a child will begin to explore the world around them by touching, tasting, looking and listening. They will begin to develop their own initiative but will want you around to feel safe.
