Assessment criteria 2
Describe with examples how different aspects of development can affect one another.
There are many different aspects of development that can affect one another.
If a child is less developed in reading, when it comes to children having reading time on the carpet in groups, they may feel uncomfortable and unable to form friendships due to embarrassment and low self-esteem. This will then affect their language and social development. This can cause the child to feel lonely and angry at themselves because they are not at the other children's level of learning.
If a child doesn't like to share toys, this can cause a problem with social interaction as they will find it hard to form friendships. The other children will try to avoid the child that is unable to share, this can affect the emotional and social development of the child who is unwilling to share as they will feel lonely and neglected and even abandoned.
If a child is used to having his way all the time, such as him eating his lunch whilst watching TV, when the child is at nursery and boundaries are in place this will cause the child to have temper tantrums and become angry.
