Factors That Affect Holistic Development

The sequences and rates of each aspect of development from birth to 19 years are part of a Holistic process within the education system. This means that everything and anything has a fundamental part to play on a whole. For example, the holistic point of a mobile phone has many functions and is intended to be used in a variation of ways. Without its charger, UVB charger or the motherboard components, the phone would not operate. The same applies to children and young people.

The 24-30 month review. The delivery of health improvement information and advice.” (Scottish Government, 2011) For my health topic I will be focusing on the 24-30 month review where the health visitor assigned to the child will keep track, in partnership with parents, the child’s developmental goals for their age. If these goals are not met then the health visitor may make a referral to a different health professional.

Independence • Do you observe: growth in confidence & ability; growth in ease of relating positively to others? Yes Teaghan has actually gained confidence in her ability to be self-sufficient. Near the beginning of observation Teaghan was not able to wash her hands without seeking assistance from a teacher (9/16). Since that time she has been able to go to the sink with the ability to turn it on, pump the soap dispenser, and pump herself a paper towel to dry her hands.

TODDLER Toddler Social - Emotional Development What is the one most important skill that is needed for us to socialize with each other effectively? Is it the need to have language or is it being able to understand other’s as well as one’s own emotions? While physical development as well as language development (which we will look at in the next segment when we talk about cognitive development of a toddler) is important, it is also important for a child to not only learn how to interact with others and understand their emotions but also to control one’s own emotions. This will largely determine how many positive and rewarding relationships the toddler would be able to maintain growing up.

From the moment they are born, children are precious and deserve to be treated with uttermost care. They are vulnerable and as they grow, they spend a lot of time discovering and learning new stuff. Parents should be careful because during this period, what the child learns, sticks for the rest of their life. It is said that the environment has a way of shaping the life of children. We don't want our children to grow up with bad influence and that's why we should as parents invest in bringing up our children in an environment that bring out the best in them.

An external factor is family environment/background. Such as divorce this will affect the child’s behaviour at nursery because they will be confused on as why one parent has left. Same with if one parent has a new partner, it might make the child confused however if the child is a little bit older they may have a better understanding. Another external factor is personal choices.

Thus, recent research has focused on how early a child can detect and distinguish different perceptual stimuli to further our understanding

Explain the importance to children’s holistic development of Speech, language and communication This development is important for children’s holistic development as this will help the children to socialise and help them express what they like and need, this will get them to have more sense about the world. If the child can communicate this will help them with their confident and self-esteem levels as they can talk about how they feel.it is important for children to use their own language skills and not to listen to other all the time and this could put their development back. Adults should praise children a lot so they have the encouragement try new things but it is important you adults to give them feedback so that they can learn from right and wrong.

There are many factors that influence and hinder a child or young personâ€TMs development such as physical disability, learning disability and health concerns. As children and young people grow and develop in life these personal l factors could create significant developmental delays. For example, someone who suffers from asthma will not be able to take part in high energy activities including sport, lessening their physical development but also social development as they are then unable to fully engage with the activity with peers. Personal factors are largely unpreventable and down to genetics. However, there are also a range of external factors which could be prevented and could have substantial ramifications for a child/young person overall

Cognitive abilities enable children to process the sensory information that they collect from the environment. According to Wood, Smith and Grossniklaus (2012), Piaget defined cognitive development as the progressive reorganization of the mental processes that results in biological experience and maturation. As numerous researchers have explained, children normally undergo many changes from birth to adolescents, most of them being growth related. According to Cook (2005), the changes in thinking is what researchers call cognitive development. In toddlers, cognitive development is observed through the early use of tools and objects, the child’s behavior when objects are moved in front of them and their understanding when objects and when people are in their environment.

By four years children are communicating in four to five-word sentences and can be understood by anyone.” (Communication Difficulties -

and it begins with the sensorimotor stage, a child from birth to the age of 2 years old learns and thinks by doing and figuring out how something works. The second stage is the preoperational stage and in this stage children from ages 2 through 7 years are developing their language and they do pretend play (Berk, 2005, p.20). Concrete operational is the third stage and children ages 7 to 11 years old lack abstract but have more logic than they did when they were younger. The last stage is formal

The principles and values relevant to factors which affect a child 's physical and language development, include ensuring that the practice is child centred, as this will result in then being able to reach their full potential while within the setting. One of the first values for when a child 's development has been affected, is to put the child first, as we have a duty of care towards them. One way in which we can put a child first, it to ensure that, while they are in the setting, that they get well balanced and nutritional meals, as some families might not be able to afford 3 full meals a day, especially when there are more than one child within. By providing services such as breakfast clubs and free school meals, it means that all children will be getting food which will help with their physical development as they will be getting enough nutrients to fulfil the growth that from their genetics. By putting a child at the centre of care, this could also include using their interests within the setting, as it can help and encourage children to develop their language skills, as they will be more willing to learn.
