The expected pattern of development for children and young people from birth to 19 years 1a.Sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth to 19 years Although there are different aspects to a childâ€TMs development that may be viewed separately, it is important to take a more holistic view as each child is unique and will develop in their own way. Many of their skills and areas of development will overlap with one another. For example if we look at a child learning to play football it is of course at first perceived as a more physical skill such as pace, dribbling and shooting. But if you look more in depth you will find that physical skills alone are not enough. Social, communication and cognitive skills are just as vital. Just …show more content…
Although they do develop many skills naturally as they get older it is equally important that they receive help and support to help them develop these skills in a variety of ways. An example of Physical development is of a childâ€TMs first steps. Though we assume the child will automatically learn to walk, this is not done without a parent holding and supporting the weight of a child while they learn the act of placing one foot in front of the other. Has the child develops and gets older they become more independent and are able to walk by themselves. Communication and language development would not however be an automatic feature as part of a childâ€TMs development and is almost entirely dependent on the process of learning. In the early years the child would learn from parents and older siblings, using simple words and hand gestures. As the child matures they would gain more of an understanding of language through teachers and more commonly, socially through friends. They would gain more skills in learning how to communicate and understand
During our semester, we learned how kids develop certain motor skills as they get older. By first learning how to kick a ball. Then able to gain enough balance and coordination to jump up and down. As they learn these motor skills their strength, balance, coordination all develop and able them to do more specific movement, such as jumping up and heading a
Physical development is the growth of gross and fine motor, skills. Gross motor skills are walking, running, throwing, and crawling. Fine motor skills are writing,
Explain the reasons why children and young people’s development may not follow the expected pattern: The reasons why children and young people’s development may not follow the expected patters is due to them maybe having a disability, emotional influences, physical influences, environmental influences, cultural influences, social influences, learning needs and communication skills. Children with disabilities require a lot more support than those without a disability in order to help them develop their skills and become more independent. Disabilities can affect more than one area of a child’s development depending on what disability they have and what support is available in order to help improve the child’s needs etc. Emotionally children are affected due to them maybe having signs of depression where they are quiet than the rest of the children and they shy away from joining in with different activities and getting involved with other children.
Speech, language and communication can be supported through play and activities in a number of different ways, children/young people need the opportunity to express themselves using language. It is important to help them develop language skills and to help them use language effectively. It is essential to listen to what is being said and respond appropriately. It is important to be aware of any additional needs, and if English is a second language.
Several themes are demonstrated in the course of lifespan development. Although each child develops individually, common themes can be seen throughout the development. The following are explanations of four universal themes of human development, including the continuity-discontinuity issue, nature versus nurture, the active-passive issue, and the development across domains issue, and how my personal experiences relate to the understanding of each theme. Early Development is Related to Later Development but Not Perfectly Shaffer and Kipp (2010) describe a pervasive theme in lifespan development, in which our early development during infancy and childhood correlates to how we later develop as adults, known as the continuity-discontinuity issue.
There are four types of development, physical, cognitive, emotional, and social. Physical development is the growth of gross and fine motor, skills. Gross motor skills are walking, running, throwing, and crawling. Fine motor skills are writing, holding a fork, and using scissors. Physical development is also the easiest to see.
In the article “Baby Talk” by Patricia Kuhl, research on how infants learn their first language within a short time is explained. Babies have the special ability to master a language within a few years, something that teenagers and adults have difficulty with. Only recently have scientists such as Patricia Kuhl start to understand how a newborn brain processes and learns language. Infants require two processes to learn a language, mental analyzation and socially interacting with their parents. At the age of six months, a baby enters a special period where their brains analyze their parent’s speech and determine which phonemes out of 800 possible phonemes are used in their first language.
Physical Development Watson (2012) defines physical development as the process that starts in human infancy and continues into late adolescent concentrating on fine and gross motor development. Fine motor development involves more finely tuned movements such as grasping, building bricks and gross motor development involves larger movements such as walking, climbing, climbing stairs and riding bicycles. In the movie “Yours, Mine and Ours”, when analysing Ethan Beardsley who is four years old, the youngest child of Frank Beardsley; a single father of eight children, Ethan’s fine motor development such as when he was using a chalk when he and Helen North’s youngest were scribbling on Frank’s “Operation Light House” board, he grasped the chalk with ease as the chalk was big. This proves he has acquired the fine motor skill of grasping.
1/10 Understanding how children and young people develop 1.1 Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth - 19 years. The rate at which all children develop varies from child to child, however the sequence of development is very similar. The ways in which children and young people develop are measured are social, physical, intellectual, communication and emotional development (SPICE).
In a study conducted in the United Kingdom, a child’s communicating means is significant to his or her language development. Quoting that parents involvement in language development is crucial. (Roulstone et al. 2011). This indicates that without proper language up bringing given by parents it will affect the child’s ability to communicate with family members and mates in school thus leading to difficulties in making important social connections. This in turn results in a lack of social skills such as making friends and relationships with the educators.
From the earlier stages of development, children learn to understand other people by tone, facial expressions, and gestures. Although these are important aspects to communication if a child is only using gestures to communicate and not words, then there might be a difficulty in language development. On average “Children will typically be able to say 50 words by the time they reach 2 years. At this age, they will start to put short two-word sentences together. Language learning increases dramatically and by three years children are using three to four-word sentences and can be easily understood by familiar adults.
One relationship between oral language competencies and success in school is that a child’s language competencies develop in both receptive and expressive modes. While in the classroom, listening is a critical receptive language skill to teach young children because it is necessary to “receive language”. Their ability to listen and understand allows them to comprehend their teacher’s directions and helps contribute to their success in class. Another relationship between oral language competencies and success in school are a child’s social-interaction skills. When children develop oral language competencies, they become successful in communicating with their teachers and peers but, when a child demonstrates poor communicating skills,
The questionable and ambiguous nature surrounding the notion that children play an active role in acquiring language has been debated by many theorists of different perspectives. These three perspectives include the learning view, the nativist view and the interactionist view. In this essay I will discuss each perspective with reference to psychological theories and research that relates to each view. The learning perspective of language acquisition suggests that children acquire language through imitation and reinforcement (Skinner, 1957). The ideology behind this view claims that children develop language by repeating utterances that have been praised by their parent, therefore gaining a larger vocabulary and understanding of phrases over
First, the speech development is one of the first tools that child will demonstrate in their first learning situation. Then, it is important to have language development skills at first. By this kind of activities, the children engaged in speaking with other peers may have cooperative ideas in play any task given by the teacher. There also verbal and non-verbal interactions involved between two or more person that contribute to the social interactions that can improve their communication skills. Basically, through this method, there no children left behind because all the children need to interact to each other to complete the
Therefore, there may be instances where these specific developmental skills don't always follow the prescribed sequence. Additionally, these development milestones are
