Children's Child Development

There are five aspects of child development which can be remembered by the acronym SPICE. These are social, physical, intellectual communication and emotional development. Child development theorists have created many timelines and charts which map how these different elements of child development progress, however it is best to look at the progress as a sequence as opposed to a set of achievements that a child should reach by a particular age. The ages I use within this assignment are purely approximate to demonstrate the sequences of expected development.
Social development.
When typically developing children are born they will recognise faces and voices, particularly of their Mum. At around the age of 1, children starting to follow simple
They rely on lots of sleep. At around 3 to 9 months, babies will start to sit with support, grasp objects and move them between their hands. Some children may even be crawling and later standing. At 9 months onwards children become more mobile; they can manoeuvre themselves up stairs. By 2 years old, children can
From around 3 months babies start to make simple single syllable sounds, later developing into two syllable sounds by around 7 months. At 9 months babies know their own name.
By 18 months children start to say recognisable, real words and professionals predict children know around 3 to 20 words by this point. From 18 months onwards language develops quickly and by 2 years the childâ€TMs vocabulary increases to around 200 words. Children starting to use their words to get information from people and repeating words that they may hear other people saying. By three, more formal sentences are forming and children are able to deliver simple messages. Between the ages of 5 and 7 children have a vocabulary of a round 1500 - 4000 words and they can construct complex sentences. This is also when theyâ€TMre reading and writing skills start so they can follow complex instructions and also pass instructions on to other people. From. 7 onwards
