There are seven areas of development in the EYFS. The seven areas of development and are split up as three main areas and are physical development, personal, social and emotional development, communication and language.

Emotional development is the expected pattern of a Childs ability to feel and express and increa vsing range of emotions. Social and behavioural development is the expected growth pattern of a child’s ability to relate to the world around them. There are various theories and models that show the different aspects of the development stages. I have combined these and below is my understanding of these.

Physical development is physical movements of all areas of the body. This may include fine motor skills, gross motor skills and hand eye co-ordination. Fine motor skills may be for e.g. threading a bead on to a piece of string, gross motor skills are for e.g. star jumps and hand eye co-ordination is for e.g. throwing a ball and catching it. These activities can be done indoors and outdoors.

All children will follow the same pattern of development but at different rates and will reach their milestones at different times.

Personal, social and emotional development is linked with communication development, because both are based in the formation of relationship. Children experience difficulties when they are not being able

Social and emotional development: this refers to the development of the child's own identity and self image. Some may want to start doing things for themselves and become more independent.

All children develop at different rates, information and sources are only guidelines. These help to monitor what children can and can't do at certain stages in their lives. It also helps to plan effectively to ensure the child gets the attention they need, in the areas in which they find challenging. Physical development follows a definite sequence. A baby's physical development may begin with rolling over then sit up, crawl, walk, run. Another may sit up, walk, run missing out rolling over & crawling. Even

Learning and physical development happens at all stages in life, whether you are one or 60. I believe that the most learning happens when you are in your early childhood stage which occurs between the ages of one to six. During this stage of life, a child becomes more adaptive and learns the basic functions of life to start to care for themselves. Some of these factors can be hereditary and others can be environmental influences. In this stage, there are many different factors that can affect physical, cognitive, social, moral and even personality development.
