All children and young people develop at different rates, but the order 
in which they advance differs very little.

Children’s development tends to progress:
# from head to toe
# from inner to outer
# from simple to complex
# from general to specific

Here we will be looking at each child’s physical development, social and 
emotional development, intellectual development, and language 
development. Not one area of development is less important than another, 
and they all have an impact on each other.

To better explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development, 
the development will be divided into age groups:

# 0-6 months:
*Physical development : By the time he is six months old, a baby will be 
able to turn their head to sound and movement, watch their parent’s face 
while feeding, smile at familiar faces and voices, reach their feet when 
lying down, reach for and grab objects, and put things in their mouths 
independently.
*Social and emotional development: A six month old baby will respond to 
their mother’s face, smile, and need comfort and cuddles from their 
parents.
*Language development: A six month old baby will be able to make a 
variety of happy sounds, will respond to music and singing, and will 
mirror their parents’ movements and expressions.

NOTE: Evaluate the Sequence and Rate and distinguish between the two and 
why they are different

Break down the task question/instruction -

Evaluate - Present the Sequence and Rate (which is given above in 
example) you must include your judgements on strengths, weakness's 
emphasising the relevance at each development age.
