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.
