The Difference Between Sequence of Development and the Rate of Development.
Unit 01- Child and Young Person Development (1.1)
1. Explain the difference between sequence of development and rate of development and why the difference is important. (1.1)
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 person’s 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.
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.
2. Complete the following chart providing at least 2 examples of each type of development for each stage. (1.2)
Physical development: Gross motor skills (using large muscles such as arms and legs), fine motor skills (precise use of muscles such as hands and fingers).
Intellectual (Cognitive and Communication): Learning the skills of understanding, communicating with others.
Emotional (Social and Behavioural): This is the development of a child’s identity and self-image, the development of relationships and learning the skills of living in society.
As every child grows at a different rate to each other so do other aspects of their personal development, therefore this is just a rough guide to a child and young person development.
