Title – Understand Child and Young Person Development
Task A
1. Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth – 19 years. (1.1)
Sequence of development is the correct order in which actions; developmental milestones should take place e.g. walking before running and jumping
The rate of development is the age at which each individual child reaches these milestones.
The rate of development is the child individual score if you like. During formative toddler years, these will be crawling, grasping, waving, and copying single syllables. As the child goes into school, they are monitored for their reading and writing skills, and as they grow and develop further
2. Explain the difference between sequence of development and rate of development and why the difference is important. (1.2)
As explained above, the sequence of development is the order to which actions take place from birth to 19 years. These should encompass a variety of milestones that are first checked by midwives, health visitors and then through school and learning activities. At any point are these milestones checked and there is a baseline to which all children and young people are measured with no factors taken into account (I’ll explain more on that later in AC 2.1) It is important to take note on the differences of these as if a child is either hitting milestones too early or too quickly, we are able to build up a picture of that child’s own sequence and ultimately plan accordingly and provide support.
Task B
1. Explain how children and young people’s development is influenced by a range of personal factors (2.1)
Health plays a major part in the personal development of any child. This can either be through a birth defect that the child is born with or develops, or can be attributed to any chemicals taken by the mother during pregnancy. It can also stem from a poor birth, such as a cord round the neck, lack of oxygen
2. Explain how
