Unit 4 Notes
Needs
Infancy
Physical
* Newborn babies are completely dependent on their parents or carers to protect them from harm, feed them, and make sure they get enough rest and keep warm and clean.
Intellectual
* Infants depend on their parents and carers to stimulate them with words, toys and books.
Emotional
* Bonding with parents or carers in the first year of life, through being loved and encouraged, creates a safe and stable relationship enabling the person to make effective relationships later in life.
Social
* Care practitioners follow a range of policies, procedures and guidelines to help them implement the care values in their work. * Parents or carers who help an infant develop routines and meet other people, and encourage them to play with others, are building the foundations for the infant to know how to behave to get on well with others in later life stages.
Childhood
Physical * Children need to be provided with opportunities to learn new physical skills and improve existing ones, through play: for example, by skipping, running and jumping.
Intellectual
* They need more advanced toys and books and more stimulating and new experiences, as well as being taught new skills such as letter and number recognition.
Emotional
* Although children will want to try new things, they still need their parents or carers to respect, encourage and love them, and depend on them to be there for them, to provide guidance and supervision.
Social
* Children continue to develop routines, but need opportunities to meet more people and play and learn with others, so they feel part of a group.
Adolescence
Physical * Adolescents need help to cope as they go through puberty and deal with all changes to their bodies that this involves. They also need to keep fit, keep them clean and to be encouraged to follow a balanced diet.
Intellectual
* Young people need good educational opportunities, as well as varied experiences,
