The rate of development is the time frame given for the average development of a child expected at a certain age, i.e. at one has started to walk. All children are unique individuals and will develop at their own rate, so the rate of development is just a guideline. However it is important to understand that although the sequence remains generally the same, the development rate can change considerably and many other factors such as individual growth patterns, social background, health and nutrition, disability and learning difficulties can have an effect on the rate of development.…
The sequence of development is the same for all children. It is important what most children can do at certain age.…
It is important to know the difference between sequence and rate as a child that’s rate of development is a bit ‘slow’ can be perfectly fine and just a part of how the individual is, whereas a child who’s sequence is slow or skipping parts may be suffering from health issues or disabilities.…
When growing up there are 4 areas that can be looked at to see how a person’s development is progressing, these are, emotional and social, language and physical and intellectual. Children’s and young people’s progression through these areas are roughly the same, they do however vary in the rate that they progress from child to child and also the 4 areas don’t all progress evenly at the same time, A child may be more developed in their language and physical areas and less developed in their emotional and social. The development is often broken down on a timeline in ages, from birth to being a young child the rate that children develop is very quick and milestones occur close together, as children get older and become teenagers the milestones occur further apart. Below is a chart to show the milestones and the rate in which they occur.…
The development of children is continuous; the development a child makes can be measured in a variety of ways. Children will develop at different rates, so some quicker than others. But, the sequence in how children develop is usually the same such as; walking, a child has to be walking in order for them to develop more so that they can then start running or jumping etc. the child development is normally looked at on a timeline and is then broken up into different ages. The development is quickest during the early years and the milestones will be close together, but as the baby becomes a child these milestones will become further apart from each other. The development of children is measured on their physical, language, social and emotional and also their intellectual development.…
Sensorimotor and pre operational are the first two stages. Sensorimotor stage begins at birth and ends through age 2. During this stage, children learn object permanence which means children are able to understand that an object is still there even though they cannot see it anymore. Preoperational stage begins from age 2 and ends around age 7. During this stage, they experience egocentrism which means they have an inability to understand others viewpoint from theirs. There are four stages of language development, babbling which begins around 0-4 months, one word which begins around 1 year, two words which begin around 18 months, and multiple word sentences and this starts around 2 years of age. The next two stages are concrete operational and formal operational. Concrete operational occurs at ages 7-11 and is when they can think logically about objects and events and they can achieve conservation of numbers. Formal operational occurs around ages 11 years and older and they think logically about proportions and test hypothesis while becoming hypothetical and ideological about problems. Another psychologist, Erik Erikson, was best known for the psychosocial stages of development which outlines the personality development from birth to old age. There are eight psychosocial stages; the first is trust vs. mistrust and develops from birth to age one and is the most fundamental stage in one's life. An infant is entirely dependent on the caregiver's quality of care. The next stage is autonomy vs. shame/doubt and this is where children ages 18 months to 2 start to feel greater self-control and start potty training, toy preferences, clothing selection, and food choices all allow them to feel greater personal sense of acknowledge. Initiative vs. guilt is the third stage that occurs around ages…
I feel it is highly important to know the difference between sequence of development and rate of development as it could play a big part in identifying a child’s needs. Within my role it is important to plan appropriately and take into consideration the different ages and stages of…

Early identification of speech, language and communication delay is extremely important as the chance of improving these skills is increased. If these delays are not identified the delay will continue and the child may suffer from lack of confidence and will more than likely experience emotional problems. Other aspects of development will also be affected, e.g. cognitive, social, emotional and…

The term “Sequence” of child development refers to the how we expect a child to develop from the day it was born to the age of 19. Child Development is the biological, physiological and all the emotional changes that happen during these formative years as the child goes from dependency to autonomy. These changes could be hugely influenced by genetics, events that occur whilst in the womb and during prenatal development and are usually included in most studies of child development. Developmental changes are different. They occur as a result of a genetically controlled process called maturation or as a result of environmental factors and learning (home life and school for example) but these changes most commonly happen as a result of a combination of them both. It can also be a result of “human nature” which is the ability of the growing child to in fact learn from their environment. Human beings and especially children have a keen sense to adapt to their surroundings and this is what child development covers and includes. A child’s development is continually happening and can be measured in many different ways and although the child will develop at different rates and in different ways, the sequence in which this happens will follow the same sort of pattern .This is because in most examples they need to learn one skill before they can move onto the next. An example is walking. The child will need to learn to walk before they can run or jump etc. Development in children is more rapid in the early stages with many milestones happening in quick succession. This slows down as the child becomes a young adult with the milestones becoming further apart.(Cache children and young people’s workforce p49)…

The sequence of a child ́s development is the order in which it occurs. Rate of development is how quickly they do it. It can be emotional development, communicational development, cognitive development, social development and behavioural or physical development. All children are individuals and have the same sequence of development, but they all do it at a different rate, but hopefully they will all reach the goals that they are meant to. Development is usually divided into different parts but they are all joined in some way.…
It is important to know the difference between the sequence and the rate of development as it gives us direction when it comes to monitoring child/young persons needs during stages of their school years. We can then plan effectively to make sure the child receives the help and support they need in areas they could find difficult. E.g. Physical development should follow a specific pattern; a baby of 0~3 months should be expected to move their head, arms and legs before being able to lift their heads at 3~6 months. A child of 4 should be writing their names and drawing basic pictures before moving on to more complex tasks of joined up writing at around the age of 8.…
Our understanding of child development is the result of decades of observations and research. This has given us the knowledge to predict how children will develop in the five main areas: physical, communication, cognitive, social, emotional, behavioural and moral. Patterns of development can be understood in terms of sequence and rate. The sequence of development from birth to 19 years describes the order in which we expect things to happen. We use this to predict the development of a child, as well as to observe and report if they are not following the expected pattern of development.…
