Child Development Unit 22 Outcome 1 and 2

- While children are influenced by many things, there are no stronger influences that that of their parents as they are usually their child’s first playmates and while the world expands with each passing year, parental influence is still one of the greatest factors in determining the ways in which a child will grow and develop.

Birth order is defined as the order children are born within a family. The order is separated into different categories including first-born, middle child, youngest child, and/or only child. The pattern sticks to a tri-level repetitive cycle. If there are more than three children within a family, then the pattern starts over from first-born, middle child, and then again to the youngest. The research all started with Alfred Adler. He began his research by looking at the order children were born in, and how it affected their personalities and development. Today, research has looked at many more factors than just personality and child development. Other characteristics that may be affected by

Sequence has a place in most of all things we do in life. My use for sequence is usually prioritized by how important the task is at hand. If I’m doing a task at work I make sure I ask the necessary questions, or read any given instructions to make sure I’m doing exactly what needs to be done. I feel like my work is my livelihood right now. My job needs to be done at a high standard to please my employer. Personal tasks that are not as important can allow us to complete them without having to go in depth with questions and readings. This is because the outcomes don’t have as big of an impact on our lives, as do your job.

It is important to note that child development takes a unique course for every child with some developing rapidly while some developing at a slow pace. The rate of development is affected by inherent factors such as genetic factors or environmental factors and health.

Birth order refers to the order a child is born in their family; first-born and second-born are examples. Birth order is often believed to have a profound and lasting effect on psychological development and achievements. (Rodgers, Cleveland, Van Den, Rowe, 2000)
