All areas of growth are knitted together in mutually supportive network creating the uniqueness of each child. Teachers learn what makes each child special, what they look like when the children move their bodies or change their expressions. The observant teachers read through the way they express the "whole child" (Gordon & Browne, 2013, p. 67). To define the "whole child", observant teacher uses six developmental domains to express how children grow and develop, which are developmental of social-emotional, physical, cognitive, language, cultural identity and creativity. In this development case study mainly focuses on three developmental domains in each participant, which…
In the book “A Little History of The United States”, James West Davidson analyzes and describes how George Washington and the Continental Army declared the independence of the thirteen colonies from Britain despite holding a lack of authority. In subsequence to the French and Indian War, Britain began imposing significant laws and restrictions on the people of the thirteen colonies such as the Stamp Act and the Intolerable Acts; these consequences would lead to a war that defines the power of leadership and the perseverance for independence. At the onset of the American Revolution, the American Colonists had a desire to end the harsh taxation presented by the British, but the presentation of a declaration of complete independence and equality…
1.1) Development is holistic. There are many various areas of development and each area of development is individual in its own right. Even though they are individual, all of the areas of development are interlinked and they do not operate separately. To conduct activities and to partake in everyday occurrences, more than one single area of development is needed and involved in order to participate during these everyday events. It is important that as a childcare practitioner, these areas of development are recognised and understood so the services and activities we provide can be adapted and therefore, made appropriate for the child in order for them to grow and develop the necessary skills to develop to their full potential.…
‘’We are moulded by and re-moulded by those who have loved us; and though the love may pass, we are nevertheless their work for good or ill’’ ( Francois Mairlac) 1. Explain the sequence of development that would normally be expected in children and young people from birth to -19 years.Children have certain basic, physical and psychological needs and if these needs are not met then growth psychological developmental will be distorted in many ways. Everyone needs shelter, food, water, warmth and not to mention grooming and hygiene, activities which are laid down in Maslow’s hierarchy of basic need. If they are neglected or unfulfilled then this will have an adverse effect and may delay the child’s development stage. As children grow older they should have opportunities to learn from experiences and to make mistakes. Adding to that, they need to take responsibility for their own behaviour and increasing independence in personal, social and money matters and just a sense of thoughtfulness for others.Erikson psychosocial theory of development has eight stages, each stage us named and has ‘’two opposed outcomes; the first one refers to the positive eg.trust. The second one is negative dysfunctional eg., mistrust. He also sees development as proceeding throughout our lifecycle. Erikson believes that the interaction between the individual and the social environment produces the eight stages of which they centre in a development crisis. In addition each child will have individual needs, unique to itself. 2.2 Analyse the difference between sequence of development and rate of Development and why the distinction is important. Opportunities to make helpful contributions to daily living at home or in a social group. Children who have suffered physical or emotional abuse neglect or who have had inconsistent primary carers become very confused not knowing how to interpret their…
As a child moves from being a toddler through preschool to school-aged, they are faced with many challenges to overcome. Development growth, which is subject to the child’s environment and sphere of influential people and pressures in their lives, is directly shaped and guided by their family’s culture, religion and value/belief system.…
Eileen Kennedy-Moore once wrote, “The path of development is a journey of discovery that is clear only in retrospect, and it’s rarely a straight line.” Although the development to which she is reffering may not be specific, the complexity and sometimes unpredicable nature of children may definitely be summarized by this short quote. As humans, we begin as tiny beings with barely any ability, but, as we grow, we develop into creatures of play and imagination, of right and wrong decisions, and of motivation for the tasks we face in our day-to-day lives. As an Early Childhood Education student, I often have the opportunity to volunteer and to observe a variety of organzations, classrooms, and programs. For this particular class, I was able to analyze a classroom-like environment at the YMCA for children of all ages, and I compared these observations with the appropraite topics of this course.…
Children’s development is holistic this means that each stage is interlinked and dependant on the other so that the child can develop properly and reach their full potential. For example, for a child to learn to walk he/she first needs to learn to hold their head up then learn to sit aided then unaided, crawl, stand holding onto things then walk, each of these stages are aided by social development with primary and secondary relationships with interaction from adults with praise and encouragement playing a big part, physical development with the child developing their gross and fine motor skills, intellectual development in early years involves cognitive development, recognising things and prediction. Communication and language development is also linked with emotional development the child has to listen to the parent/adult and copy what they see around them. The child can sometimes be seen as a collection of different pieces which can be helpful…

The realization of how powerful education is dawned upon me for the first time when I started teaching my domestic help’s son during my free time after high school. As empowering as it was, I took it as a responsibility to do my best to help him in his studies. His innocence and playfulness redefined childhood for me, as I myself became a child with him, enjoying the little pleasures of mentoring the kid. However,…
Behavioral Health is a very important topic in the United States and other parts of the world. In my eyes it is important that people know the signs of behavioral health issues and know where they can get help. Often people with these issues feel ashamed and do not reach out for help. This can lead them to doing other things that might cause harm to themselves or others. Currently, I’m working on a masters in Sociology. In my program, we study society, especially human behavior. Recently, in one of the classes, we discussed behavioral health issues. This portion of the class got me very interested in the subject. It made me look into how I personally could help because it seems that it is a subject that is often avoided. When I first stumbled…

When a child is growing up, they depend on their parents for most of their knowledge and skills. The tasks of the parents result in the correspondence of the children's developments. Some of the qualities that parents are responsible for for toddlers that continue with preschoolers include parental warmth, emotional responsiveness, and sharing of positive feelings with the child. Once the child starts to become a preschooler, other important qualities become more important. This is due to that fact that the children's abilities are changing. Central tasks for parents include their approach to discipline, agreement between the parents concerning child rearing practices, and low levels of marital conflict.…
