Physical Development : The Center For Disease Control 's Growth Chart For Boys

Observe three different physical play activities in your setting. Using the observation reports identify the physical skills children are developing. You need to consider the movement skills travel, object control and balance and coordination.

Physical activity encourages children and young people to develop all their physical skills and to practice the skills that they already have. Your role in supporting a child’s physical development will be to ensure that the child has a wide variety of experiences of being in a safe environment. Any setting should offer a wide range of equipment that can be used both indoors and out. It is considered important that children are given opportunities to develop their gross motor skills indoors as well as outdoors. Such opportunities may be provided by designated areas such as soft play area or by activities such as drama.

According to the CDC growth chart, your son Steven is currently at the 95 percentile for his weight and the 75 percentile for his height for his infant age. What these calculations explain is that out of one hundred infant boys Steven’s age, his weight and height fall at these percentages we just briefly discussed. It was brought to my attention, that there were some concerns, you both had about potential weight issues; Steven may develop, as he gets older. Although, Steven’s weight is slightly above the expected percentile for his age, this is not something to be too alarmed about it, as of yet. In addition, giving him additional vitamins is not nutritionally necessary, unless his pediatrician recommends it. Fluoride is sometimes needed

Frequently, I have been asked the question if being an outsider is universal? But more specifically, has everyone experienced being left out? And truthfully, yes, because everyone has experienced being the new kid or has been seen differently based on their ethnicity or reputation, like having dark skin or being emo. In essence, being excluded from society or even seen differently by others because of their appearance like Leopard man or because of their mental disorders like Lennie. However when you take a look at yourself, from the inside.

According to my observations the physical development of the child was under the 50th percentile. He seem to be much shorter than 54 inches and I estimated his weight to be around 60 to 65 lbs. The average physical growth of a boy that age is 6 to 11 for boys weight should be at least 71.2 lbs. The average height should be at least 54 inches. Anything under that would be consider less than average. However, with him being an African American child. He may grow a little faster than a male child his age with Caucasian descendent. According to Martorell et al., (2013), “African

In terms of physical characteristics, the average height and weight for a two year old is thirty-four inches tall and twenty –eight pounds. Over time, their head growth will slow, from 3⁄4 inch (2 cm) in their second year alone to 3⁄4 to 1 1⁄4 inches (2–3 cm) over the next ten years. The child’s posture will change as well during the toddler years. These physical changes are due to improved muscle tone, which is cause for a more erect posture, thus giving the child a taller, and more lean appearance (“Physical Appearance,” 2013).

As observed, Eddy has developed strong large muscle as he is capable to perform actions such as; walking, kicking, running, kneeling, pulling, climbing, crawling, scooting and bending without any assistance from the gym instructor. He is able to roam around without any physical unbalance. Eddy has a good sense of spatial awareness. This can be seen when he was able to avoid hitting his classmates while making a small swinging movement with his arms. He has a keen interest in physical activities which can be observed from his eager expression, physical activeness, and involvement. He has shown most of the characteristics of the development of gross motor skills.

As everyone knows, children love to play games and participate in sports. A lot of them, mainly when they are very young, only play for fun or as a way to pass time. However, there are some kids who began training in a particular sport very early to eventually become a world champion, like in the documentary we’ve seen in class, “The Short Game”, featuring young golf champions, all aged below 10. Those are practicing early specialization, unlike the others who only play for fun, also known as deliberate players. There are also players who don’t want to be world champions, but would like to be better than casual players, performing deliberate practice. These two last concepts will be discussed in the following paragraphs.

At the age of eight children have moved beyond what they learned in first or second grade. At these age children interact more with their peers, and can solve problems with the groups in school, they even become more physically. Child development tracker claims that by this age “Physically, this is the age when the amount of practice and play done in the earlier years begins to manifest itself in skillfulness and in what might be called "athleticism." Motor skills like throwing, catching, kicking, balancing, rolling and batting approach the mature stage and allow some youngsters to be highly successful in traditional sports like baseball, soccer and basketball. Eight-year-olds begin to understand the concept of masking emotions and can vary their use of coping strategies to deal with challenging situations. In peer interactions, they may start to engage in leadership, goal-setting, elaborate fantasy play and an assortment of interactive games”. When it comes to our children’s education we should pay attention and see the good things that can happen. Spending too much time playing video games and in tablets can affect how our children interact with their peers in school. Children at eight years old are also very creative and like to use their imagination. They use more details and realistic images in their work. By this age they are also learning to translate simple word problems into number sentences and begin to apply mathematics and logic solving problems. When would a

The most typical gross motor skills utilized by this young boy were rolling, walking, and running. In the first few minutes of watching the child he exhibited boredom and began to roll around on the couch. He used his long legs and strong arms to propel his body in a circular motion from one of the couch to the other. When the child needed to use the restroom, he shifted his weight evenly from one leg to the other pushing hard on the ground to maximize distance between each step. The walk from the bathroom to the couch was at a calm and leisurely pace. The body was kept in vertical alignment as the boy took smaller steps to reach his destination.

I chose to observe a young Caucasian male student, around seven or eight years old. I also do not have any background information about this student. For the purpose of this observation paper, I am going to name this student, John. John sat furthest away

I’d like to start this letter off by thanking you for this scholarship. Without it, my chances of going to Texas Tech would have been much smaller. I currently live in Dexter, Michigan. I moved to Michigan from Austin, Texas about 5 years ago and have longed to be back in Texas ever since. I have two older brothers who are both attending college and a younger brother who is a freshman in high school. My parents are both from Vietnam and only my dad has attended college and has a job since my mother has a hearing disability and no education. I chose to attend Texas Tech University because I've heard that it is a very good school from friends who are currently attending TTU and after looking into the school and its programs, I found it to be

Nowadays, more and more children have obesity compare to the children in thirty years ago. The research showed that children who have obesity in their early age may cause either short-term or long-term consequence. The short-term consequence for the obesity children include low self-esteem and the long-term consequence includes asthma and heart disease. (CDC) The best way to prevent these is to encourage children do at least one hour physical exercise a day within the trained instructor guided. ( Epstein 2014) My paper is mainly focused on how my curriculum promote physical development in a child care center.

In the medieval times, the Catholic Church was the most powerful thing. Kings and other powerful leaders would gain their power from their alliances with the Church. Since the Church was the most powerful and influential thing, many people went on crusades to drive out the Muslim “infidels” from their Holy Land. No one really won the crusades since many died from both sides. The feudal system was a big part of the medieval times. The king would give large pieces of land to their noblemen and have serfs work in the fields. The feudal system started to change and deteriorate when the heavy plow and crop rotation were made. Fewer serfs had to work at one time so they left for other jobs. The population continued to rise and more and more people went to the city and it inspired the next era, the “Renaissance.” Chaucer depicts humor in the Canterbury Tales by showing the reality of the nature of the characters, not how they are portrayed in society.
