Effects Of Body Weight On Child Development

When the child doesn’t get what they want frustration is defiantly now shown and when they enjoy something they will show you that they are happy. When a child is going through childhood they still continue to grow at a steady rate, the rate that they grow at can vary due to genetic gene from their mum and dad and also from the diet, if the child is given the right food with lots of vitamins and calcium which helps bones grow stronger it will enable them to grow faster. The main muscles in the body such as the legs grow longer and the muscle mass increases because they need to be able to run around and do activities. This can be helped by more exercise so they get used to having the experience of running around and having plenty of sleep so that they are able to get up and do these things without becoming too tired. Starting to enjoy physical activity such as outdoor activities, p.e, at these ages they love being outside and being energetic and having the chance to run round and interact with different objects. Now the child’s small muscle control improves for example the use and grasp of their hands, giving them play do to play with or providing them with the right equipment and helping them improve individually. At this age the child would have started school so manipulative development improves, for example they will be taught to use a knife and fork properly at

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

Goes through physical changes at this age, as this happens they become more mature, and as they begin to show interest and skills in different subjects as their confidence grows through communicating effectively with adults.

Between 6-11 years of age children typically grow between 2-3 inches a year and gaining 5 pounds a year is normal and appropriate as they grow.

Children between the ages of 3-5 start to gain at least 4-5 pounds (in weight) and grow about 2-3 inches taller per year. Younger children are still developing their motor skills, for example using their arms and legs to play and by doing arts and crafts, puzzles and painting. By the age of 5 children are usually able to hop on one foot and are learning how to skip. Playing becomes very imaginative for them as they bring in fantasy and book characters into their games.

| Puberty! Increased activity from sebaceous glands etc.Increased strength.More muscle development dependant on somatotype.Increased height.

Babies grow very fast with rapid weight gain. Birthweight typically doubles by 4 month and triples in a year. Babies will grow more than a foot in height and reaches about 34 inches by the age of 2. This is half of the height of their adult age height.

Obesity in the United States has become an epidemic. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2010), one out of every three people in the United States are now overweight or obese. Additionally, one out of every three children between the ages of 10 and 17 are not at a healthy weight (CDC, 2010). America is officially the fattest country in the world, topping Mexico and the United Kingdom by more than six percent of the population (CDC, 2010). These frightening statistics have many consequences for American citizens, especially the youth. This paper will explore the effects of childhood obesity on motor development, as well as ways in which motor development can be influenced to lower the obesity rate in children.

Emotional development is effected by neglect, separation, lack of love (family) and self harm. Social development is effected by lack of self esteem and secondary socialisation.

By age two the brain has developed to two-thirds of what it will weigh by adulthood and has increased to five times the density it was at birth.

There are many factors that can influence the development of infants and toddlers. Two of the largest are biological and environmental influences. Biological influences can include gender, prenatal care, and the mother’s prior states of health. Environmental influences are widely ranged and can include, but are not limited to, income, housing, teratogens, and stimuli. While these two influences are different, they sometimes interlock, creating a cycle within each other.

Children have a lot of factors that influence their physical changes. For example, after preschool years children start to lose their baby teeth, and the skeleton begins to grow. During the preschool years, when the children grow slower than

Nowadays, more and more children have obesity compare to the children in thirty years ago. The research showed that children who have obesity in their early age may cause either short-term or long-term consequence. The short-term consequence for the obesity children include low self-esteem and the long-term consequence includes asthma and heart disease. (CDC) The best way to prevent these is to encourage children do at least one hour physical exercise a day within the trained instructor guided. ( Epstein 2014) My paper is mainly focused on how my curriculum promote physical development in a child care center.

This paper is will focus on the influences of physical and cognitive development in adolescence from 12 to 18 years of age. This part of the developmental stage has many factors that affect the physical development as well as the cognitive development in adolescence. In addition to influences of physical and cognitive development this paper will also focus on the hereditary and environmental influences that make up this stage in life.

Other than that, your children may have the same age with your new friends, so parent may set up a play date to provide your children a chance to socialize with others. Parenting classes are also a good way to get recommendations for nutritionist, doctor and child psychologist. Some parent may discuss on the skills like changing a diaper, bathing and swaddling. An infant normally will reach certain milestone like rolling over, sitting up, crawling and standing. While all children develop at different rates, parent may share the experience to each other when the milestone will be occurred. When parent realize infant is not reaching a milestone, parent should take attention to consult with pediatrician. As normal, most of the infant grow with the average speed. According to Dr. Jay Hoecker (2016), from birth to age 6 months, a baby may grow 1/2 to 1 inch (about 1.5 to 2.5 centimeters) a month and gain 5 to 7 ounces (about 140 to 200 grams) a week. Expect your baby to double his or her birth weight by about age 5 months. From ages 6 to 12 months, a baby may grow 3/8 inch (about 1 centimeter) a month and gain 3 to 5 ounces (about 85 to 140 grams) a week. Expect your baby to triple his or her birth weight by about age 1 year. So parents may discuss on the weight gain of infant whether is in a standard range. Then, parent may concern each other, perhaps make a short trip with other parent to relax mind. After relaxing, parent may more energize to take care of their
