1.1 Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth –19 years
Children’s development for each age can be divided into fiver different aspects: Physical; Communication and Language; Intellectual and Cognitive; Social, Emotional and Behavioural and, from the age of 3 years Moral Development.
Birth – 3 weeks
Full term babies are born at around 40 weeks; if they are born more than 3 weeks before the due date they are classed as premature and will then be expected to take a little longer to meet the early development milestones. Newborn babies need to bond with their primary carers from birth. Babies will spend more time sleeping than they will awake.
Physical Development:
At birth babies depend on reflexes such as rooting, grasping and suckling to enable them to feed or grasp. Physical development at this stage is usually very rapid.
Communication and Language Development:
They will cry to communicate hunger, tiredness and distress
Intellectual/Cognitive Development:
They can recognise their mother’s or primary carer’s voice
Social, Emotional and Behavioural Development:
They begin to bond with their primary carers, they need close physical contact with them to feel secure. They are totally dependent on others.
1 Month
This is usually a time of rapid development. They will be sleeping a little less frequently and may be settling into a feeding and sleeping routine. They might begin to communicate with sounds as well as crying and may be beginning to smile.
Physical Development:
When sitting the head falls forwards (head lag) and the back curves. Reflexes persist but the startle reflex is seen less frequently. They will gaze attentively at faces especially when fed and talked to.
Communication and Language Development:
Although still communicating needs by crying will begin to use other sounds and to coo and gurgle in response.
Intellectual/Cognitive Development:
They may
