Child Development
UNIT 01 CHILD AND YOUNG PERSON DEVELOPMENT
Introduction
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.
Using Teena Kamens’ book “Teaching assistants Handbook Level 2” she describes the expected pattern as sequences. These sequences do not occur at fixed ages but do occur between birth and age 19. The expected pattern includes (a),(b) and (c) because these are regarded as the aspects within the sequences of a childs development and this is for every child. Every child will develop physically, intellectually, socially, emotionally and communicably and ( on this course) we have been taught to remember this by using the word spice as in S.P.I.C.E. The acronym SPICE is categorised using the following:
Social Development – Interacting with others
Physical development – body capabilities and growth
Intellectual Development – thinking, solving problems
Communicating – Interacting verbally and non-verbally
Emotional Development – form feelings about self and others.
The expected pattern is divided into age ranges. These age ranges are from birth to 3 months old, 3 months old to 9 months old, 9 months old to 18 months, 18 months old to 2 years old, 2 years old to 3 years of age, 3 years old to 5 years old, 5 years old to 7 years of age then 7 years old to 12 years old, 12 years old to 16 years of age and finally from 16 years old to 19 years old. So basically there are 10 expected sequences within a child’s development from birth to 19.
It is important for me to identify that a child’s development is influenced by five principals and these are that a child’s development is;
-sequential,
- follows a similar pattern,
- lasts all of their childhood,
- Individually dependant and,
-interrelated.
To further describe this I have included this
