Learning Outcome 1 / Know the main stages of child and young person development
1.1
Describe the expected pattern of children and young people’s development from birth to 19 years.
From birth through to adulthood children continually grow, develop, and learn. A child’s development can be measured through; social, emotional, intellectual, physical, behavioural and language developmental milestones.
All children and young people follow a similar pattern of development so the order in which each child advances from one milestone to the next will be roughly the same.

From general to specific
- Muscle growth begins with more general abilities (like raising of head) and becomes more specific (like writing, drawing etc) as the child develops.
- General physical actions would include the whole body of a baby responding when...
