Explain The Sequence And Rate Of Each Aspect Of Development From Birth To 19 Years

The expected pattern starts at 0-3 years where a child is expected to develop the most. They have little control over their bodies at 0-1 years and are dependent on their natural instincts eg: sucking, grasping.

Describe the expected pattern of children and young people’s development from birth to 19 years, to include:

Babies at three months have now grown in both height and weight. They are wearing new sets of clothes and have changed in many ways. Some babies have learned the difference between night and day and are able to sleep through the night, which is great help for parents. Babies are also crying less and most parents are getting better at knowing at what their cries mean. Babies are starting to sleep a little less and are far more alert. They may smile quite often and show that they know the sound of their parents’ voices and movements. Babies’ bodies are also developing. They are able to lift their heads up and look about when they are put on their tummies.

Intellectual Development (0-3 Years) Beginning to realise others are separate beings from themselves, imitates others and tries out ways of behaving in play, becoming more confident but still needs adult reassurance

In later years the child becomes less dependant on their parents and moves closer to their peers. They develop a sense of right and wrong by may still adult intervention to settle arguments. They become aware of their gender and normally prefer the company of their own sex. Their behaviour differs with their emotions depending upon circumstance.

Children in this age will gain more of an understanding of friendships and will desire to be liked and accepted by friends. When communicating they will be able to hold an adult conversation and be able to recall accounts. Self- awareness will begin to develop some girls may start puberty, Other children of this age will be developing their social skills they will interact more with peers and may even join clubs. At this age some children may still need help to express their feelings whereas others may be able to support peers in difficult times and begin to see things from another childâ€TMs point of view.

7-14 years --- By this stage, most children are fluent speakers of language and are developing and refining their skills at reading and writing. Their language skills enable them to think about and discuss their ideas and learning in more abstract terms.

Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth – 19 years.

| * Sleeps much of the time * Tries to lift head * Starts to kick legs and movements gradually become smoother * Starts to wave arms about * Begins to hold objects when placed in hand * Grasp reflex diminishes as hand and eye co-ordination begins to develop * Enjoys finger play * Learns to roll from side to back * Sees best at a distance of 25cm then gradually starts watching objects further away * Needs opportunity to play and exercise (soft toys, cloth

* Have different cries for different needs. For example one cry for hunger, another when they are tired.

Between the ages of 3-5 years children develop their own identities. Playing with other children, socialising through imaginative play and inventive games helps develop their understanding of themselves and those around them. They want to take on small responsibilities and help, seeking approval and praise from adults. They begin to learn about boundaries, why they are important and necessary. They begin to argue with their peers but are quick to forgive and forget. They will still have an outburst of crying when tired or frustrated. At 7 years old they co-operate and take turns, they may copy unwanted behaviour. They become more aware of the feelings of those around them and help console those friends. They also may have imaginary friends

At birth a baby relies on sight and touch for their intellectual development, they have limited language, and all information is processed visually, as a baby grows they develop intellectually by participating in imaginative play ie a box becomes a car or train or plane. They will also imitate and explore new behaviours and forms of play, their confidence will grow as they near the age of 3 years old, but will still seek reassurance from their parents and carers.

A child between 2 and 3, are much more independent, this is often referred to terrible twos, this particular year can be an exciting time for parents as the development of the child increases, they should be able to sort colours, or shapes, recognise animals or familiar pictures and express a range of emotions. children can speak at least 200 words by the age of 3 and follow two-part sequences, such as "Wash your hands and find a chair for lunch” your child should also be able to walk up the stairs kick a ball and will be using fine motor skills to draw simple strokes on paper.

CT230 1.1 Explain the sequence and Rate of each aspect of development from Birth to 19 years of age

At the age of two, a child’s body and mind begins to change. According to the CDC, toddlers between the ages of 2 and 3 should be able to follow commands, sort objects by shape and color and imitate actions of adults and playmates, and express a wide range of emotions. Because this age is when a child begins developing a personality at this starts to take in their surroundings, the ability to cope with these new discoveries can be challenging for them.
