Assesment Task-TDA 2.1 Child and Young person development
Task 2 links to outcome 2, assesment criteria 2.1 and 2.2
A child's development is determined and shaped by different influences and experiences that they come across during their life. The three main influences are background, health and environment.
Families play a very big part of children's and young people's development, Family dynamics are also important in a childs life. Even how a close a family is can affect the a child's development. A close family, where relationships between the family members are good and strong can give a child the confidence they need to be able to make friends and work well in school. Being a part of a large family can cause sibling rivalry and jealousy with in a family unit. A child within a big family may feel left out and so they become more independent which is a good thing but it could make the child more vulnerable to the attention of undesirable adults or lead them astray into anti-social behaviour. …show more content…
Break-up or divorce within a family can seriously affect a child's development.
The break-up may expose the child to a lot of arguing and agression. This could affect the child in many ways, Firstly the child may start to lack in social skills mainly because the child may feel to scared to interact with other children as they might believe it will lead to arguments. Being a part of a break up may also make the child become agressive. For example, in the setting I work in there is a child who's parents have broken up. It is clear that he has been affected by the break up, as he now shows a lot of agression towards the other children and the adults. His agression sometimes causes him to hit out at other children, and also talk with his teeth
gritted.
Money is another factor that affects child development, A family which has a lack of money can sometimes mean that a child is living in a stressed environment which can affect the parent's parenting style. Some parents may be strict and some to relaxed. Some parents may find it hard to show their love and so their relationship with the child may become strained. Parenting styles can help children learn about behaviour and also about taking responsibility.
For some children their religious beliefs can affect their devlopment. On the positive side it gives the child a strong identity and may make them confident. However it also has a negative side. This is because sometimes religons can restrict a child to what they want to do and it also may make the child feel different and left out.
Health can affect many aspects of a child' devlopment. Children that are unwell may not feel like playing with other children or their condition may restrict what they can do. For example in my work setting their is a child with severe asthma, and so sometimes has to sit out when playing in physical games. This could also affect the child's emotional development and make the child feel left out, and as if they are not 'normal', which could cause the child to be less confident when making friends and affect the child's self-esteem.
Sleep can have an influence on a child's development as it can affect a child's cognitive development and emotional development. Being tired can cause the child to find it hard to concentrate and can also make them find it hard to control their anger and emotions which results in them finding it hard to play with other children without them falling out. A child's diet can affect a child's growth, behaviour and devlopment. A poor diet can affect their growth as they are not reciving the right nourishment to grow. A poor diet can also mean a child can become over weight or obese, this can make the child find it harder to develop strength in their bodies needed to devlop high levels of physical skill. Obese children may also be prone to illness and could even develop diabetes this could cause a child to feel left out and not 'normal' compared to their friends, and so this may affect the social and emotional development, making them lose confidence and make them not want to try out new activities with other children. Being over weight may also restrict what activities the child can do which will also have a negative affect on their development.
Another factor which could affect a child's develpment is the environment they live and play in. Some children may be lucky enough to have plenty of different opportunities for education and learning such as going to a nursery, childminder or school. This can help their development as it gives them an oppourtunity to expand their talents and skill, weather they are communication skills, social skills or physical skills. A good environment can help a child's cognitive development. Things such as going to the park, talking with their parents and even playing with a different range of materials can all help. At my nursery setting we let the children ingage in things such as bean play and cornflake play to allow the babies to start introducing different textures to them. A child's enviornment needs to be safe and full of exciting things to stop children doing unsafe things. If a child to have an accident it could lead to them having a long-term injury or even make them uneasy around the certain thing that caused the accident. For example if a child was to hit another while riding a bike then the child which was hit would most likely be wary of the bikes from now on.
It is important to recognise and respond to concerns about a child's development, because sometimes, even if a child has a good family life, good living space and the opportunity to go to a nursery and improve it's skills, the child may still be behind in it's development. Thats why it is important to keep an eye out on the children who development pattern is not typical. For example in my nursery setting at the minute we a have a child who at the age of 0-2 was devloping at an average rate. But now he is nearly 3 and has not developed in his communication levels, and cognitive levels very well at all, and because he can't communicate aswell as the other children he becomes frustrated really easliy and so lashes out at the other children. He also will throw himself on the floor. The manager of our setting has been made aware of our concerns and so has the parents and now some members of staff will sit with the child to do one on one activities with him. It is important to help support the child and the parent as it can quickly make a lot of difference to the child. For a child who has difficulty communicating it would be best to allow them to see a speech and language therapist. If a child receives the support it is needing quickly then sometimes they do better and in some cases they catch up with the children in their similar age group.
