By 1 year a child will be able to distinguish varying members within its family and act socially with them. At this stage a child will know its own name, obey simple instructions. By 18-months- 2 years a child’s social & emotional development has come a long way, they will show empathy to an upset/ sibling/ family member and try to console them.

By 3 years old a child will have gained a certain amount of physical and emotional control, they will feel secure when left away from main carer, they are able to interpret situations and behave accordingly. They have the ability to now share and take turns, and use language to express themselves rather than communication through tantrums and physical outbursts.…

    The development of children is extremely important, so it is important to know what a child should be doing at different ages. Two particular areas are language and social development. When a child reaches the age of three they should start to develop their social development so they should recognise their gender role, they also start making friends and negotiate with other children as well as begin to have a sense of control when interacting with other children. Children of three years are easily afraid and begin to imagine and pretend. With communication development a three year old should begin to use full sentences and tenses, also the child should be talking quite often and start to ask questions however they may make grammatical errors such as ‘I goed there’ instead of ‘I went there’. The child may enjoy more complicated stories and have favourite books which they ask for frequently, the child will be trying very hard to get their speech right so may stutter when talking to adults and this may frustrate them.…

    1. From birth to 19 years of age, children and young people tend to follow a broad developmental plan. Although children and young people are different, the way they grow and develop is often quite similar. This means we can work out a pattern for development and from this we can pinpoint particular skills or milestones that most children can do at different age ranges. Milestones describe when particular skills are achieved, such as walking, usually achieved by 18 months. These milestones have been draw up by researchers looking at children’s development and working out an average from their recordings. However as children grow older the variations between individuals grow larger.…

    The phases of human development can be culturally defined. In fact, an individual's culture, or environment, plays a huge role in the developmental process. These influences are present even in the embryonic stages of development. For example, if a pregnant woman is a part of a culture or group which places a value on smoking or burning incents, than the mother is likely to inhale a large amount of smoke. The toxins from the smoke could have adverse effects on the baby's development which could lead to a deformity or birth complication. Another example could be a young child, say 5 years old, who is a part of a culture who only eats plants. The human body requires a balanced diet consisting of grains, dairy, fruit, meat etc. in order to be…
