Looking at the development of children and young people is essential so that any potential problems, with a child reaching key milestones as expected, can be investigated straight away and necessary action taken.…
It is important to remember that development is often split into different areas but are connected and linked with one another. So when planning or working with a group of children the same age it has to be taken into account that some will be at the average stage, below average and above average stage of development and not be at the same sequence of development. Knowing this information it has to be taken into consideration when looking at the bigger picture of all the children’s needs and how this can be…
There are many factors that need to be taken into account when assessing development of a child or young person as they are all individuals and so must be assessed with these individualisms taken into account. All children and young people develop at different rates and stages and reach specific markers at different times in their lives. When professionally assessed, the young person will be assessed against a nationally recognised level and compared against these to assess their progress.…
Children and Young People’s Development follows a basic pattern or sequence which does not necessarily occur at fixed ages. A list of milestones has been created as a guide to expected development. Children and Young People’s Development can be affected by a number of other factors; for example, social interaction and special needs.…

There are both internal and external factors which can have an effect on a child’s normal pattern of development. A child may have a physical disability, be hard of hearing or have restricted eyesight. This can have an impact on how a child develops emotionally, physically, intellectually and socially. They may have a learning disability, which means they will not develop at the expected rate intellectually or their communication and social skills may not follow the normal pattern of development. A child may have health problems such as asthma or diabetes, which means they have missed a lot of school due to ill health and therefore fall behind with their school work.…
Some aspects of Development follow a definite sequence. This is particular true when it comes to physical development for example, babies have to learn to lift their heads before they can sit; toddlers have to walk before they can run. It is also the case in other areas such as communication as, for example, a baby recognise words before producing them. While these sequences of development are typical in all children, what can change between individual children is the speed or rate at which they develop. This means some babies will sit unsupported at 7 months, while others may take a couple of months longer. It is also interesting. When looking at an individual child’s development to note the way that they may have different rates of development in different areas; for example a baby at 13 months may not be walking, but may already be saying a few words, an 7 years-old may be strong swimmer, but find reading difficult.…

The childhood development of the individual followed the normal development patterns that are expected. In the childhood stage the individual development changed rapidly and their ability to be active and learn new skills improves on a daily basis. During childhood a child will grow steadier compared to an infant. A child’s body and organs size grows at a steady pace. By the age of 6 a child’s head will be 90% of a full adult size even though the rest of a child’s body has a lot more to grow and to develop. Until a child reaches late childhood, and entering adolescence, an individual’s reproductive organs are still not fully developed. Infants and children can suffer from delayed development. This could cause potential effects and risks on a person’s development. This can happen in the first 5 years of a child’s life and this can be cause by brain damage, poor or no interaction with care givers, diseases, learning or behavioural disabilities, visual or hearing disabilities. The factors mentioned can cause a child to suffer from delayed development. Emotional and social development in a child will change a huge amount due to their change in their daily routine when they going into education and they aren’t around their family as they are used to within infancy. From age 4-9 years old is the first social learning of social development in a child. From a young age, young children are emotionally attached and dependent on their care givers. The change within the introduction of school and social environments can be a struggle for some children to understand. For emotional development the key skills within childhood are understanding self and other, and is a focus within development in schools to ensure that children are aware of who they are the differences within society and other people. Imagination is used a lot in children they use it to begin to understand social situations and roles within life. Relationships within the family become more important and…
Children’s development is continuous and can be measured in a number of different ways. Although all children will develop at different rates and in different ways, the sequence in which they develop will be roughly the same as they need to have developed one skill, for example walking, before they move on to develop another such as running and jumping.…
The sequence of child development is common amongst most children but what often changes is the rate in which they develop. Therefore it is important that we monitor this in order to put in place definite methods of intervention or help they need in order for their development to progress in whichever phase of their learning they are struggling in.…
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.…
Performing a developmental assessment on children from infancy to adolescence is vital for the future health and development of the child. A developmental assessment should be performed on the child when a more in-depth assessment is needed on an individual who may be experiencing a developmental delay or problem. The developmental assessment will help assist providers to identify children who may need an intervention, and differentiating them form children who are experiencing a normal verse abnormal variation in development to guide the plan of care and manage the child's concerns. The developmental assessment will confirm a developmental problem, identify the type of problem, explain the level of functioning in one or more developmental…
the interest in understanding the developmental stages of humans from birth to death has been a focus of psychology. Researchers have established a system that names the traits, skills and levels of development in children such as their sight, comprehension, and their ability to speak. The developmental stages in children are broken up into the children's months (baby's months until first year), toddler years (the first four to five years), and childhood (years until child reaches ten years of age). (Medical Library Search). Child psychologists have been able to track the development and the process that children undergo through out their childhood years, but each individual child develops differently. There are children that speak, walk faster or slower than others but there are also times when many children are believed to develop later than the norm, when in reality the children may have problems or disorders. Through the advancement in developmental psychology many of the common disorders in children such as autism,…
