Sequence of development means the order in which a child develops. Sequenced development also involves patterns. Although children develop paces are different, most childrenâ€TMs development have definite pattern e.g. a toddler being able to walk before can run. Though some children miss particular phrases, they still proceed in whatâ€TMs viewed as an expected pattern, e.g. sitting up, walking, running but missing out rolling over and crawling. Rate of development means the speed at which children develop. It involves a time frame linked to age in which a child develops, like children normally roll and crawl before they can hold on to stand at around 6 months to 1 year old, however, some may grow faster without rolling, straight to stand up …show more content…
It is vital to monitor a childâ€TMs sequence and rate of the developments in order to determine what type help they may or may not need in future. Each child in care could be recorded all areas of developments. Through the reference of the sequences, monitor what children can or cannot do at a specific stages in their lives. As said, while most children follow the same common pattern of development, they may reach the milestones at different ages, depending on each of the individual childâ€TMs ability and a range of personal and external factors that may affect them. The order in which the development of children would happen and the speed in which it would happen are …show more content…
However, each child is an individual and his/her physical, emotional, social development is either boosted or restricted by personal factors like genetic health or parentsâ€TM health etc.; and external factors such as the environment they grow up with. All factors have some kind of impact on a growing child and tend to affect all areas of development, not just one. Personal factor Personal factor influence childrenâ€TMs development in many areas. It consist health status, disability, sensory impairment and learning difficulties etc.. Childrenâ€TMs health is really important. Health issues can be genetical which influence how the brain works, e.g. Downâ€TMs syndrome which have impairment of cognitive ability and physical growth. They will need extra support in daily activities. Such illness also have different facial characteristics which can lead to bullying. When condition involves frequent absence from school due to hospital visits, children could miss school lesson, make it harder to learn the required material and fall behind in academic development. Some children
Special attention needs to be given to health and education to ensure the child is healthy in all aspects of their life and their education is paramount to ensuring confidence and growth so they can become healthy confident adults and can go out into the world armed with a good education. If not the child could become withdrawn, depressed, and have low self-esteem which can bring its own
It will depend on the type of disability that the child has. They may have a hearing or seeing impairment or a physical or learning disability. Children or young people may be subjected to prejudice or discrimination which could lead to them being bullied or treated differently, this in turn could affect their learning skills, self confidence and development. In the past the medical model of disability meant that opportunities for learning and development where few and far between. Today there is a different approach to disabilities and most settings look at different ways in which they can help with learning and development and to give children as many opportunities as possible.
In time their language and vocabularies will form rapidly. Children often get their gramma in speech mixed up at times, for example when using a verb word such as kicked they are likely to say “kickeded the ball―. When it comes to social, emotional, moral and behavioural challenges babies start to be aware of their identities in regards to what and who they like and dislike. They build an intense and emotional bond with their parents or main carer, which then lengthens out of the family circle, this could include nursery staff or childminders. When a child engages with others outside of the family circle, it promotes the building of trust, which enables the child asking for help from a certain person and forms other social bonds with others, who deliver care to the child.
it is also necessary to know the child 's cognitive learning and language development. Assessing health issues and watching social and behavioral problems help to complete the required data to diagnose
Part C - Disability affects development and learning because disability affects children's development in different ways. That can be physically and sensory, social, emotional and behavioural and learning or cognitive. So say a child with Hearing impairment affects language and communication in that they may struggle to understand words in a book and get stressed at trying to read aloud.
but it is still a very good idea for practitioners to know how to spot any issues and deal with these appropriately. If short terms issues are not dealt with and these are allowed to build then longer term effects can become apparent. Long terms effects to transition may impact massively on a child’s life and could leave psychological scars for future years. Because of this it is important that a child
However, little study has been undertaken on what long-term effects that a child is expected to have during his/her early years of life (Eyberg, Nelson & Boggs,
Sections 1.2 Explain the difference between sequence of development and rate of development and why the difference is important Sequence of development: This is the order of how development will happen, for example, when one child’s physical development could start with rolling over, then sitting up, crawling, walking and then running. But another child’s development could start with sitting up, walking then running and misses out on the rolling over and crawling. Though some of this child’s elements were missed the development still proceeded in an expected pattern. Rate of development:
Toddler Learning and Development Introduction Unlike adolescents and adults, growth and development is different in infants and toddlers. Observations from the physical, cognitive and perceptual development show that toddlers and infants grow and develop at a faster rate than adults. The physical, cognitive and motor development in infants and toddlers is higher than the same development in adults. This paper is an analysis and interpretation of an observation conducted with an aim to understand the growth and development of toddlers and infants. It explains an observation of an infant boy named Taylor who is 8 months old.
Developmental milestones explore how children play, learn, speak and acts by a certain age. For example,
The environment where a child is been raised plays a huge role on its psychological development. There are a lot of environmental influences that might affect their overall development and behavior. These influences might come from a prenatal environment, physical environment, social environment, cultural environment, learning environment, economic environment, emotional environment and family environment. All these environments are important for the success and for the happiness throughout their lifecourse. According to the World Health Organization, the first 8 years of life will affect a child’s health, education and economic participation for the rest of its life.
2months- When your child is of 2 months and there's a lack of visual fixation and no social smile. 4-6 months and he/she fails to track person or object, no steady head control, no response or turning to sound or voice. 6 months - Decrease or absence of vocalizations. 9-12 months- Fails to sit independently.
It is important to note that by the time child is three years old, their brain has been 90% developed, which is quite mind blowing. Therefore it is important to create a positive environment so the child’s brain is enriched with great information. An example is a child needs to be fed with nutritional food with the proper mix of vitamins and protein because failure to do so “can have effects lasting far past the early years in areas as diverse as cognitive development, physical health, work capacity, and earning power” (Martorell, 2013, pg. 86). If a child is born in poverty, they may not have the same nutritional value as a child born in an economically stable atmosphere. This could also include how involved the parents are in the child's life and whether they provide a lot of human contact, speak fluently or providing comfort.
A child's development of their cognitive, emotional, language, physical, and social skills in an age-specific, sequential pattern is usually referred to as child development milestones. They explain each new achievement the child has made as a progression from previous milestones. Parents and pediatricians find them extremely useful as they act as a guide to the normal progression of the child's skills through each ensuing stage of their development such as infancy, toddler, preschool, and school age. The charts used for development milestones are usually displayed to depict the varying ages and paces at which the child reaches specific milestones.
Different factors affect how a person may develop, which may be determined by the environment, economic state, and people one lives with among other factors. There are certain characteristics prevalent at the family, cultural, community, psychological or biological level that negatively contribute to a person’s development (Seal & Harris, 2016). These factors are referred to as risks factors. On the other hand, there are certain characteristics that nullify or lower the negative contribution or influence of the risk factors (Seal & Harris, 2016). These factors are referred to as protective factors, which are the positive countering occurrences.
