022 Sequence and Rate of Development

Describe the expected pattern of children and young people’s development from birth to 19 years, to include:

If a child is in poor health then this will have an impact on their development. For example, a child with uncontrolled asthma or cystic fibrosis may not be able to run around and be as active as their peers. Therefore, this would mean that his physical development might not be the same. Not being able to play outside would almost certainly affect the social development, as children make many friendships on the playground and at after school clubs.

Physical development is the growth of movement skills in both fine and gross motor skills and development in hand to eye co-ordination. Each of these is

Learning Outcome: Understand the expected pattern of development for children and young people from birth - 19 years.

There are many factors that influence a child/young persons development such as health issues, personal characteristics, motivation to learn, behaviour, sensory impairment, disability and learning difficulties. Even before birth a child needs to reach many milestones and however small or large they can cause a delay in a child’s development and in many cases are completely out of the child’s or parents control. Faulty genetics for example is a factor that is completely out of our control.

Physical development: this refers to the body increasing in ability and functionality and comprises of gross motor skills (using large muscles) with movement in their legs and arms whilst also developing fine motor skills (precise

If for example a child has not attended a nursery or play group in their early years this can often set them back from what development stage they should be at when attending school. This could be the lack of nursery places, not good enough teachers to the child having a learning disability that has not been identified yet.

Children and young people often experience many things which have a direct impact on their development; things such as their family environment and structure, personality, hospital visits, childcare arrangements, and culture.

A child’s development can be measured through physical and language milestones, intellectual, emotional and social development.

Physical development is like the process that starts in as a child and continues as you grow up, fine motor skills as well as puberty. When saroo was young he struggled with Physical development. He lived in poverty so they weren't fed the best plates of food with the best nourishment he was very small and scrawny. Plus as young as he was he would go help his mom with work. Saroo and I are on two different level while he'd be working with his mom i was probably in pre-K learning my ABC’s getting 3 meals a day with snack in between.

Child Development Theory: There were three theorists that we talked about that looked at child development. The first one was Erik Erikson, who believed that there was two main stages of children development during the first three years. The first of the two stages was Trust vs. Mistrust and the second stage was Autonomy vs. Doubt. During these stages the child developing many close relationships with those that are frequently in their life. As children are building these relationships they are also learning to become more of an individual and have more awareness of their own self. The second theorist we discussed was Jean Piaget, who believed that children develop actively by how they explore their "world". When the child has mastered that

Physical development begins at infancy and continues into late adolescence (Thomas, 2013). This type of development mainly concentrates on general fitness and gross and fine motor skills, which involves control of various muscles and physical coordination.

As mentioned by Berk (2013), physical development is associated with body growth and the maturation of the nervous system. Child X displays a good level of intellectual and mental capacity through her physical activeness and responses to her friends and environment.

To write this paper, I have used qualitative research and have selected two types of data collection tools. Observation has been conducted in both indoor and outdoor playtime of the child to understand his physical growth and pattern. I have also conducted a semi-structured interview with the parent of the child to gain additional knowledge and information about his physical status, daily habits, and behavior. I had planned a list of questions and also gave myself some freedom to inquire additional questions, which I think needs some light

The development of the body is essential to the development process because a child is growing and strengthening muscles that will soon be necessary for day-to-day life. While this behavior will naturally develop on its own, environmental and experiential factors can act to slow or speed this process.
