Stages of Child Development

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

Two characters that I choose for this assignment are John Bender and Brian Johnson. In reference to Piaget’s stages of cognitive development, I categorized Bender and Brian in formal operational stage because of their age. Besides, both of them also shows characteristic of adolescent egocentrism. As for Bender, we can see that he had developed the sense of invulnerability because he had taken many physical risks and do not think about the negative consequences of his actions. Brian shows personal fable when he overestimate his own abilities, he believes that he can “handle” the subject, but when he failed, this personal fable had lead him to depression and had attempted suicide as a solution for his problem.

It is important to remember when looking at child and young person development that development is a learning and holistic process. Each child is unique, they will develop at their own rate and in their own way.

| 0-3 Months: * Tries to lift head. * Begins to hold objects when placed in hand.3-9 Months: * Establishes head control * Begins to sit with support from about 6 months un-supported.9-18 Months: * Is now very mobile e.g. crawls, bottom-shuffles, cruises, walks.18 Months - 2 Years: * Walks well and tries to run but has difficulty stopping.2-3 Years: * Kicks a ball, learns to jump and may learn to somersault.

The child's first year is very important, it not only is when the child is doing big things for the first time but it's when children form a special bond with his/her parents. From the moment the child is born the parents have a very good indication of who or what they want their child to grow up wether that's personally wise. Most parents just want their children to be happy and healthy. It is important to feed the child wholesome and nutritious meals and to look after the child. Not to disrespect it. The child will go through three main development stages in the first year physical,mental and intellectual.

Infants develop a lot during the age of 0 to 2 years, they first learn how to turn their head, roll over and sit without any help needed. Then they start to crawl and after a few months start to crawl down the stairs. Later they start to walk by holding on to the furniture and when they are about 1 year old and maybe a few months they will learn how to walk. After the have learnt how to walk properly they will start to

At this stage your smile child is starting to develop into a toddler. Your child is no longer moving without purpose. Their muscles have improved significantly and they are ready to test them out. The child starts to wobble less and can keep a steady balance. Their slow unsure but steady walks turn into jogs with random burst of energy as you chase after them. They are growing in size from their weight to their height. You are now able to visibly view all the physical changes that have been happening. If you thought your child was getting into things, then now you see that they really have a motive. What can you do to help them as they start to physically develop? Well your number one focus should be keeping your child safe. Sometimes you may need a little more than just your watchful eye. Baby proofing the house is a good precaution to

At birth, children may seem to be very simple and may not have much in terms of development. However, as they age from day one, they go through various stages that are typically viewed as significant milestones in the development of the children. Through these, it is significant to note that each child develops at their own pace. The various developmental milestones may only serve to give a general idea of the changes that should be expected during the growth of a child. Further, there is a variety in what is considered "typical" in terms of child development (Bredekamp, 1986). Taking a case of a hypothetical child named Alvin, some key milestones in the development of the child particularly from birth

John Bender feels unwanted and abandoned at home and in school. The treatment that he endures at home reflects on his behavior at school. He desires people to listen to him and hear his cry for help but due to his behavior he is often ignored and not taken seriously. In the movie he opened up to the group about the abuse in his household, but due to the delivery of the information the students did not believe his struggle until he showed them the scar on his arm. Even the associate principle ignored the body language he displayed in the closet while he was threating to fight him. Bender’s body language was a clear indicator of fear, but the principle did not notice it because of Bender’s prior disruptive behavior.

Tim is most likely withdrawn because of his traumatic experience as a young child. From the start of Tim’s life, he is already predisposed to an idea of abandonment with the type of relationship he had with his birth mother the first few years of his life. Tim’s mother going into the role of more so a sibling than parental figure most likely set the stage for these ideas of the instability of relationships. Though he was successful with his grandma, the household dynamic was set up in a confusing way for a young child. Without the full understanding of the situation and these dynamics, left Tim to come up with his own idea of his role in the family. According to Piaget’s stages of cognitive operations, at this time in Tim’s life he would

The child I helped take care of was a 15-year-old adolescent male. He was brought into the hospital due to an asthma attack. According to his mom, he has had asthma for years and sometimes has more severe attacks causing him to come into the hospital. Throughout this paper, this child’s developmental stages and medical diagnosis will be discussed.

There are seven stages a human moves through during his or her life span. These stages include infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, middle adulthood and old age.

The purpose of this case study is to investigate and provide an overview of the physical, cognitive, social, and moral stages of development. Special emphasis will be placed on the progressive changes that can occur as an organism develops throughout his/her life spam, where the development of a child participant between the ages of 6-12 will be observed. It will also be based upon the attitudes , feelings, thoughts, and behaviors of an individual and the ways in which they operate in society. This will also be shown by an interview with a specific child, in this case, Hector, where he will be asked different questions which will help explain a childs developing mind. This case study will focus on some of the outstanding theorists involved
