Development
All children develop uniquely, but there are milestones set as a general pattern of development for children to achieve certain goals at a certain point in their growth. These milestones help us recognise the differences between individuals against the norm. Holistic development sees each child even babies as a whole person as they develop physically, emotionally, intellectually, socially, morally, culturally and spiritually.
The different areas of holistic development for children and young people are;
Physical development
There are two main areas in physical development for children to progress in;
Gross motor skills – the large muscle’s used for walking and climbing.
Fine motor skills which breaks down into; gross manipulative skills – single limb movements for example moving small objects and shaking toys and fine manipulative skills – the precise use of hands and fingers for example platting hair or writing.

Cognitive development
Also known as intellectual development or development of the mind to recognise, reason, know and understand.
Perception involves people understanding the use of their senses and is affected by previous experiences for example tasting a food you don’t like, and be cautious to try it again. It can also be affected by a person’s knowledge and emotional state.
