Unit reference L/601/1693
1.1: Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth – 19 years. Physical development: 0-3 years.
This is a period of fast physical development. New born babies have little control over their bodies. The sucking and grasping reflexes are there in order to survive. In the first year of life they gradually get more control over their bodies. By 12 months most babies have developed a degree of mobility and are able to roll over unaided, sit up unsupported, they may be able to pull themselves up using furniture as support and crawl around. By 2-3 years they are now able to move around freely and be able to walk and run with confidence and ride a tricycle. .They are now able to use their hands for holding small objects ,pointing and are able to start feeding themselves. The children will be more able to hold a pencil and mark make on paper.
Intellectual and cognitive development: 0-3 years.
Babies will start to take an interest in the things around them; they begin to recognise familiar voices and faces. They enjoy repetitive games such as peek-a-boo. Young children are now beginning to be able to recognise and identify different items and can point to them.
Communication and language development: 0-3 years.
At this stage babies will listen to language around them although at a very young age they will not understand what is being said to them. Babies communicate their needs by crying. They begin to enjoy songs and repetitive games like peek-a-boo at an early age. At about 6 months they will start babbling and making noises. Most babies will start to try to speak at around 12 months; pronunciation will not be clear and will be single words. Between 1 and 2 years old children start to string along more words and their vocabulary will increase. By the time they reach 2 years old they may have a vocabulary of 200 or more words.
