Personal Factors That Influence A Childa € Tms Development

Explain how children and young people’s development is influenced by a range of personal factors.

2.1 Explain how children and young people’s development is influenced by a range of personal factors

There are many examples that show how different aspects of development can impact one another. In majority of cases, one aspect will lead to another as a natural result, so for example, if a child has a speaks foreign language as his/her first and family just came to UK to live, this may lead to having language barrier, he/she may become shy, not very communicative, isolated, which affects emotional and intellectual development, further, he/she may have difficulty making friends, which can weaken his/her self esteem, affecting social and behavioral development.

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

Children’s development can be grouped into four different aspects: physical, social and emotional, intellectual and language.

The personal factors which may affect a child’s development are poor health or physical impairments which can have a large impact on a child’s development. The most obvious consequence of this would be the effect on physical development but it may influence the child’s social and emotional development. Being unable to join in certain activities could make a child stand out or go unnoticed by other children and so as adults it is vital that we recognise these differences and

This article from Kids Together, Inc. gives a few lists. It also gives an excerpt from a section of literature from the National Down Syndrome Society. There are two lists. One list is the benefits of inclusion for kids with disabilities. A few examples from the list are more relationships, greater opportunity for interactions, and higher expectations. The other list includes benefits for children without disabilities. These benefits include meaningful friendships, respect for all people, and prepare them for an adult life with an inclusive society. The excerpt from the National Down Syndrome Society states things such as the students without disabilities can serve as role models for speech and behavior. Also during a study in 2000, children

Based from my own experience, most of the children with disabilities that I see on a daily basis are sedentary. They mostly watch TV, play video games and surf the internet at home

There are many external factors that can influence a child’s development one being the environment a child is brought up in such as if a child becomes a career for a younger sibling and most of his or hers time is spent looking after them because the parent is unable to do this themselves because of illness or maybe even neglect. Another factor can be bullying making the child not want to learn and may withdraw from activities that are there to help them develop skills they need because they do not want to draw attention to themselves. Thirdly and something that is being introduced to children at a younger age is technology, technology can be a good thing when used in the right way such as educational computers specially designed for their

When young girls and boys have a positive attitude toward people with disabilities or developmental delays, they are more likely to befriend them. When they have negative attitudes, they are more likely to exclude them and treat them like they’re not human beings. Young girls and boys who are close-minded to people with disabilities or developmental delays can say hurtful things about these people to their friends, which can create a Domino effect. If a child’s best friend states that “mentally retarded people are weird,” that child might begin to develop a similar attitude toward people with disabilities or developmental delays. Instead of telling a child to “stop staring” at people who use wheelchairs, tell them that it’s not polite to stare at people and that they can ask questions later. If parents and/or guardians take time to explain why an individual may be in a wheelchair, the child will most likely refrain from judging people with disabilities or developmental delays. Parents need to be cautious about the words they use around children because adults can create a Domino effect, too. I will explain this further in the following

Development occurs within a child through psychological, biological, and emotional changes. It is a continuous process as each person progresses into their unique identity. Before a person can mature and assume their identity, they have to successfully complete the eight stages. According to Erikson, each stage is characterized by a “crisis” where psychological challenges would be resolved as the person move from each stage. Unfortunately, many factors can hinder a child’s development. This brings about the argument of all time, nature verses nurture. Nature where genetics is an important factor in influencing a child at an early age, and nurture where the environment plays a significant role in influencing a child. An innocent baby is

A normal child develops in a variety of domains that are closely linked with each other. They influence

For the past few years, there has been research going on to find a solution for children with disabilities to be apart of a class along with non-disabled or other disabled children. There have been laws passed for disabled children requiring them to have an education like the non-disabled. Kathy Koch states, “In 1975, The Education for All Handicapped Children Act was passed” (905) and Margaret McLaughlin states, “The education of students with disabilities in todays schools is being shaped by 2 very powerful laws: the 2004 Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA 2004) and the 2001 Elementary and Secondary Education Act (Title I, No Child Left Behind Act)” (265).

The present study is about the how family, in specific older siblings, affect young children in their emotional development. “The Contribution of Older Sibling’s Reactions to Emotions to Preschoolers’ Emotional and Social Competence” by Sawyer, Denham, DeMulder, Auerbach-Major, and Levitas (2002) explores the rates that affect preschoolers in different socio-emotional situations, depending on their interaction and relationship with their older siblings.

According to Winkleby, Jatulis, Frank and Fortmann (1992), socioeconomic status (SES) is usually measured by determining education, income, occupation, or a composite of these dimensions. These factors establish your “rank” in society as high, middle or low class. Unfortunately, those in the low SES struggle to provide for their families. As a result, children in a low SES can suffer emotionally, physically, socially and academically. The American Psychology Association (2015) reports “children in the United States face one of the highest rates of poverty within the industrialized world”. Disproportion in wealth distribution, resources and quality of life is increasing around the world and is affecting the intellectual growth of our future generations (p.1).
