Task One: Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth to 19 years.
Children and young people develop at different rates, but the sequence in which they develop is mostly the same.
from head to toe from inner to outer – control of muscles in the head and trunk then moving outward from simple to complex – simple words and short sentences to complex sentences from general to specific – responses in very young children can involve the whole body but in older children may just involve the face
The rate of development is dependent on many factors and can differ greatly from child to …show more content…
Formative methods such as different child observational methods such as focus child where the focus is on one child for a set amount of time, checklists where development is checked against specific milestones, time sampling recording information at regular intervals, structured which will monitor a child completing a pre set activity, naturalistic which a child will be observed during the normal course of events and a general diary record of the childs progress. An observer will evaluate the development of the child being measured against specific ‘milestones’ that should have been reached by a certain stage. The child is observed in the classroom or playground in their natural surroundings and also in the classroom to ascertain how they are progressing with their studies. The observer will gather a lot of information on behaviour patterns, interaction with peers and teachers, how the child co-ordinates and solves any problems. Specific emphasis should be put on social behaviour, learning and motor
