Outcome 1.1 - Complete a chart showing the expected pattern of children’s development.
Age | Communication | Physical Development | Moral Development | Cognitive Development | Social and Emotional Development | 0-3 Months | Babies cry to attract attention for its needs, e.g. when hungry or upset. Around 6-8 weeks old, sounds develop - coos and chuckles join crying as a way to attract attention. | Babies are born with instinctive reactions, for example, rooting, swallowing and suckling, These ensure the baby can feed.

They begin to play with language, learning how to tell jokes and riddles, and learning about the impact of words on others, with the use of persuasion and argument. | Fine Motor skills are developing; Children are becoming very skilful with a pair of scissors, or threading things. Handwriting becomes much more neat and legible in this age group. Children gaining in coordination throughout this age group. Physical development is beginning to slow down | Children in this age group are cooperative and keen to follow rules, and they like it when their good behaviour is acknowledged and praised. They respond well to being given responsibility. | Children in this age group are beginning to be able to concentrate on a task, especially when it has piqued their interest. Children are learning basic numeracy, and developing the ability to do simple mathematical calculations, Children begin to formally learn to read at the beginning of this age group, and we see them becoming more and more confident in their ability to read. As they get older, children begin to enjoy reading to themselves silently, as opposed to reading out loud to an adult. | Friends become much more important to children in this age group, there can be tensions in newly established friendships, minor squabbles and the like, but as the children get older, the friendships become more stable.
