Development From Birth-19

Babies may stop crying after they are picked up or by hearing a familiar voice. By 3 months they get excited when its time to feed

The expected pattern starts at 0-3 years where a child is expected to develop the most. They have little control over their bodies at 0-1 years and are dependent on their natural instincts e.g. sucking, grasping but when the child has more control over their body they will start to crawl and eventually progress to walking. By the age of 3 as well as

By age 2-3 years children enjoy playing with older people who provide them with attention and begin to enjoy time with children their own age. Over the next few years the child becomes more independent and coopertative and likes to help. They develop social skills and play with others is more comfortable as they begin to consider the feelings of others and make friends, although resolving disputes can still be an issue. Rules and routine are required to help the child feel secure and safe.

A child develops through its whole life. They can develop; physically, linguistically, intellectually, socially and behaviourally. “Physical development is the way in which the body increases in skill and becomes more complex in its performance” [Meggitt, 2000, Page 2]. Twenty five days after conception; the body of the chid has developed immensely from the small fertilised egg. Up to birth the foetus mainly develops physically however once the child is born the child then begins the long process of development. Not only do the gross motor skills and the fine motor skills develop on the baby, but the sensory development also widens on the child.

The guide below explains what you might expect from the development of the child through various ages:

Physical development is usually very rapid early on in the childâ€TMs development. Within weeks of being born a baby will start to smile and respond to sounds and environments around them. By 6 months as their muscles begin to develop they will reach for and hold objects which they will also put into their mouths.

At children start to join word e.g. “mummy gone” “my toy” and at 3/4 generally children’s speech is understandable and children are starting to form sentences. Children can communicate feelings and emotions.

Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth – 19 years.

Every child grows and develops at his/her own pace. Every child still learns the same thing no matter how long it takes them to learn it. No matter the process it’s a pretty predictable path every child takes. From the ages 2-5 children will develop language skills, social skills, cognitive skills, and physical skills. At age two children will speak about 50 words, start to show independence, have a wild imagination and begin to run and a kick a ball. At age three they should be able to speak about 250-500 words, they should start to share with others, look at books and imagine what the book might say, be able to walk up and down stairs. By age four they ask questions, get along better with others, start to think about writing or can write,

The first two years of life is the most important time for a child and its brain development. During this time, the child's brain is sending rapid-fire signals and connections unlike any other time in its life. The child continues to make these connections through its entire life. Over time these connections begin to slow down in their abundance and speed from one connection to the other. When the child is born it is experiencing things that it has never seen, smelled, or heard. They begin to make these rapid-fire connections in their brain with all the new information they're taking in. The child will continue to develop throughout its infancy until it reaches toddler status. The child's physical development is noticed from the start. They

One year…By one year a child should be able to stand up using the furniture, pick up small toys, waving ‘’hello’’ and ‘’goodbye’’, pointing to things to get an adults attention, babbling in a tune and crying if they can’t see a familiar adult.

Infant Development from birth to 12 months is a very rapid milestone that we all had to travel. Infants must speed up all levels of behavior to adapt to human life. The person interviewed is named Erica, she has a 3-month-old daughter, so her response stopped at three months. The interview researched, reflex, physical and intellectual development of her child. In continuation from 3 months to 12 months, person experience was used. Piaget’s studies of child development from birth to 2 years is very informative. He explains how a child develops at this stage.

The Particular stages of development which are expected of Physical development are grasping objects and crawling around and being mobile and being able to bang two objects together, and being able to sit up without support and holding their own head up. The Intellectual Cognitive and Communication development the different things that are expected to be seen are the child to be showing an interest with pointing to things they see around them and to begin to recognise particular objects which are familiar to them. The Emotional social and behavioural development the different stages that are to be seen or expected are children may start to form tantrums and become very clingy and attached to familiar adults.

During the toddler years from ages one to three, young children want to become independent. “I do it” or “Me do it.” With gentle consistent care toddlers can learn to trust others. Being a toddler can be fun and at times one of the most trying stages for both child and the parents. Toddlers are now developing out of infancy and learning important language, cognitive, social, emotional, motor, and moral skills. These skills will help the toddler’s master further skills such as walking backwards and walking up and down the stairs. When children begin to learn how to walk, they are considered toddlers. This is term usually

During this period, a baby will only want his/her parent figure to take care of their needs and is more hesitant around strangers. “By nine months fear is fully formed, and is in response to something, someone, or certain situations.” (Berger, 2013). Between twelve and twenty-four months a child is able to point and name pictures in book or body parts. He/ she should have a vocabulary of at least fifty words, and by twenty-four months be able to make simple two to three word sentences. By age 3, a quarter of his/her speech should be clear. “At eighteen months anger will become less frequent and more focused on a certain person, or situation. Laughing and crying will become louder and more discriminating, and temper tantrums may appear.” (Berger, 2013). New emotions that will develop during this stage are pride, shame, embarrassment, guilt and self-awareness. Social-awareness in toddlers is the recognition of one’s own body, mind and actions, separate from others.
