During childrenâ€TMs development from birth to 19 years old they will be following the sequence of development which will be in the same ways for each child as they have to learn one skill before they can learn the next one but each child will progress at a different rate of development.
Each children with develop with in four areas which are Physical development, language development, social and emotional development and then intellectual development.
Physical development
The physical development is the one that children will develop quicker in than any over development area. This will start with a few weeks of a baby being born as a baby will start to smile and respond to familiar sounds and their surroundings. By the time a baby is 6

Between 2-3 years old Marks on paper will now be forming into scribbles as they begin to use pencils. Balls will be starting to be kicked and thrown. Brick towers will be getting larger than the ones they were building; also they will start to experiment with liquids in play by pouring.
At 3 years Children start to become more independent. Their moving and climbing skills will be coming stronger as they start to run, jump, catch, walk up and down stairs etc. They will start to try and dress and undress themselves but may need some assistance.
At 4 years boys motor skills are more developed in areas such as throwing and aiming, building, climbing, pedalling, etc. Whereas a girls are more develop within the finer motor skills such as the use of scissors, holding a pencil to draw and colour and also when threading small beads or sewing stitches.
At 5 years Children with have more pencil control and will begin to copy letters and shapes and start to draw people. Ball games will develop with more structure as they begin to kick with an aim. They will begin to learn to hop on one foot, then the other also to skip.
At 6 years dressing becomes independent as they learn to do buttons, laces, etc. writing becomes more fluent as copying letter shapes has progressed to words and sentences with greater pencil control. A childâ€TMs confidence would have increased when playing outside in climbing, jumping from heights and riding a bike.
The expected pattern starts at 0-3 years where a child is expected to develop the most. They have little control over their bodies at 0-1 years and are dependent on their natural instincts eg: sucking, grasping.

From 3 to 7 years the child’s movements will be more coordinated. They will learn to balance when hopping, skipping and playing with balls. The fine pincer grip when holding pens, pant brushes will be more defined.
Understand the concept of “on” “in” and “under” e.g the chair is under the table
The guide below explains what you might expect from the development of the child through various ages:
Intellectual Development (0-3 Years) Beginning to realise others are separate beings from themselves, imitates others and tries out ways of behaving in play, becoming more confident but still needs adult reassurance
By age 2-3 years children enjoy playing with older people who provide them with attention and begin to enjoy time with children their own age. Over the next few years the child becomes more independent and coopertative and likes to help. They develop social skills and play with others is more comfortable as they begin to consider the feelings of others and make friends, although resolving disputes can still be an issue. Rules and routine are required to help the child feel secure and safe.
7-14 years --- By this stage, children have stable friendships, enthusiasm when given areas of responsibility and clear different activities between boys and girls.
From birth, a child develops physically. They firstly develop their reflexes, for example rooting, sucking and swallowing. At one month a baby should startle less. At 3 months a baby should lift and turn their own head. At 6 months a baby should be able to lift their hands and feet into the air. At 9 months a baby should be able to use their fingers to feed. At one year a baby should be able to stand holding onto furniture. At 18 months a child should be able to sit, and ride toys using their legs to push. At 2 years a child should be able to run and climb. At 3 years a child should be able to walk up stairs independently. At 4 years a child should be able to use their hands for tasks such as using scissors. At 5-6 years a child should be able to kick and control a ball. At 7-9 years a child should be able to draw and write neater, and cut out more accurately. At 9-11 years a child should have better coordination in fine and large movements. At 11-13 years a young person should have growth and changes to their body. At 13-19 years a young person’s body shape will be changing.
Children at 3 to 4 years will usually be actively learning language and asking many questions.
Between the ages of 3-5 years children develop their own identities. Playing with other children, socialising through imaginative play and inventive games helps develop their understanding of themselves and those around them. They want to take on small responsibilities and help, seeking approval and praise from adults. They begin to learn about boundaries, why they are important and necessary. They begin to argue with their peers but are quick to forgive and forget. They will still have an outburst of crying when tired or frustrated. At 7 years old they co-operate and take turns, they may copy unwanted behaviour. They become more aware of the feelings of those around them and help console those friends. They also may have imaginary friends
At this age they start to grow rapidly, they learn to crawl and walk, and they start learning a few words and noises. They can start eating on their own with a knife and fork, learn to do new things such as kicking and throwing a ball, start scribbling using a pen, climb up and down the stairs and can sort shapes in a shape sorter. They can turn pages and knobs of doors and are able to pedal a tricycle. Some skills using
Can kick a large ball. Can do simple jigsaw puzzles. Begins to ride tricycles. May move out of nappies and begin toilet training. Show some reasoning skills.
At the age of eight children have moved beyond what they learned in first or second grade. At these age children interact more with their peers, and can solve problems with the groups in school, they even become more physically. Child development tracker claims that by this age “Physically, this is the age when the amount of practice and play done in the earlier years begins to manifest itself in skillfulness and in what might be called "athleticism." Motor skills like throwing, catching, kicking, balancing, rolling and batting approach the mature stage and allow some youngsters to be highly successful in traditional sports like baseball, soccer and basketball. Eight-year-olds begin to understand the concept of masking emotions and can vary their use of coping strategies to deal with challenging situations. In peer interactions, they may start to engage in leadership, goal-setting, elaborate fantasy play and an assortment of interactive games”. When it comes to our children’s education we should pay attention and see the good things that can happen. Spending too much time playing video games and in tablets can affect how our children interact with their peers in school. Children at eight years old are also very creative and like to use their imagination. They use more details and realistic images in their work. By this age they are also learning to translate simple word problems into number sentences and begin to apply mathematics and logic solving problems. When would a
Children develop in many ways including through physical activity, mental activity and interaction with others (Roode, 1). According to a January 2007 clinical
