Unit 1 Child and Young Person Development Task 1 Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth – 19 years Children’s development can be grouped into four different aspects: physical, social and emotional, intellectual and language. The physical development of a baby in its first six months of life shows limited range of movement but the beginnings of an ability to respond to stimulus around them. They show their reaction to people, sounds and movement by turning their head toward whatever attracts their attention. They will watch an adult’s face whilst feeding, but have already begun to shows signs of recognition as they will smile when familiar people are around them either because they can see them …show more content…
They can sew with a needle to form stitches. Between six and seven years old, a child can skip, climb confidently and jump from a height. Not only can they pedal on a bike, now they can ride it. Forming letters has now developed so that the child can write and instead of sewing a few stitches, they can now thread a needle too. Dressing themselves has become easier as they can now do up their own buttons and lace their shoes. From seven to twelve years old, a child can run, jump, skip, hit a ball, climb and swing. They begin to enjoy playing games in teams, although before the age of nine they may misjudge their ability. Between twelve and nineteen years old, coordination and strength increase in boys and girls and by nineteen or twenty, they have full adult motor capabilities. Physical developments and changing appearances occur in both genders, though usually earlier in girls than boys. After initial breast budding at around ten, girl’s breasts begin to swell, pubic hair begins to grow and their bodies develop womanly curves. Some girls start to develop at eight and by thirteen are physically mature, but the age and speed of development varies widely. The average age for the start of menstruation is thirteen. Adolescence usually starts at about fourteen in boys – their voices drop and become deeper, they start to grow body hair and they gain muscle, testicular and scrotum growth. Again, there is great variation in

During this time period the child tends to have a lot of energy so they star to jump around and run, and they also discover new things they can do such as standing on one leg and hopping. From the ages 2-3 they also start t develop the thought of picking up a pencil and doodling. From the ages between the ages of 3-5 they develop the abilities of movement and balance which they learn how to throw and catch a ball and often start to ride a bike/tricycle.
To better explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development, the development will be divided into age groups:
Describe the expected pattern of children and young people’s development from birth to 19 years, to include:
1. From birth to 19 years of age, children and young people tend to follow a broad developmental plan. Although children and young people are different, the way they grow and develop is often quite similar. This means we can work out a pattern for development and from this we can pinpoint particular skills or milestones that most children can do at different age ranges. Milestones describe when particular skills are achieved, such as walking, usually achieved by 18 months. These milestones have been draw up by researchers looking at children’s development and working out an average from their recordings. However as children grow older the variations between individuals grow
All children and young people develop at different rates, but the order which they advance in differs very little. Children’s development tends to progress from head to toe, inner to outer, from simple to complex and from general to specific.
The aspects of development are defined as Physical, Social & Emotional, Language and Intellectual. There are different stages of development for each category, 0-3 years, 3-7 years, 7-12 years and 12-19 years.
Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth to 19 years. You may find a timeline useful as part of your explanation. The difference between the sequence and rate of a child's development becomes clear when looking at the strands of development including physical, communication, intellectual/cognitive, social, emotional, and moral behaviour.

7-14 years --- By this stage, children have stable friendships, enthusiasm when given areas of responsibility and clear different activities between boys and girls.

Children develop in many ways including through physical activity, mental activity and interaction with others (Roode, 1). According to a January 2007 clinical
As children progress into adolescence, puberty brings physical changes to the body as well. Pimples emerge which can cause teens to be anxious and self conscious about their appearance. Puberty and hormones bring out sexual maturation characteristics such as facial hair, muscle growth, breast growth, and menstruation begins (Kail, Cavanaugh, p. 241-243, 315-341).
