Child and Young Person Development
Title
Describe the main stages of a child and young person development from birth to 19 years old and the kind of influences that affect this process.
Evidence Covered
1.1 Describe the expected pattern of children and young people's development from birth to 19 years, to include:
a) physical development
b) communication and intellectual development
c) social, emotional and behavioural development
1.2 Describe with examples how different aspects of development can affect one another
2.1 Describe with examples the kinds of influences that affect children and young people’s development including:
d) background
e) health
f) environment
From birth to adulthood, children continually grow, develop and learn. They all do but not always at the same rate, speed or time.
There are five main stages of a child and young person development but it is important to remember that development is a holistic process and that everyone is different and will go through life reaching different milestones at different times.
The physical development will see a baby being born with very little control over their body, learn how to coordinate their movement and refine both their gross and fine motor skills over a number of years. As they grow older and their skills become more refined, they may start having hobbies and interests which may require their skills to be more specialized. I.e.: dancing, playing football, sewing, playing a musical instrument, learn how to ride a bike with or without stabilizers…
As they hit adolescence, young people will be growing much stronger and most will have gone through puberty. They might also look different from one another in relation to their heights, weights. At the last stage of physical development of young people (16-19 years old) boys and girls will reach different milestones: periods for girls, voice breaking for boys.
