Track Developmental Milestones

| Good way of seeing where the child is with their development – do they need encouragement in a certain area?

Each child is an individual and may come across developmental milestones sooner or later than his peers. We may have heard people say things like, "she was walking before she turned 10 month" or "he only say a few words until he was about 2 years old and then he could put whole sentence together!" This is because each child is unique and will develop at his or her own pace. Children develop at different rates and in different ways. The chart of normal development provides us a timeline of childhood milestone which can be as only a reference.

I enjoyed reading your post. You have provided important developmental milestones that a typical 10-year-old is experiencing. The cognitive milestone that you selected to highlight is also the same one that I selected. It is important for counselors to understand that a 10-year-old student has increased knowledge (Capella University, n.d.). However, we both went about highlighting it in a different way. For instance, I saw this increased knowledge as an important milestone for a counselor to understand because the child would have gained better problem solving capabilities and can contribute more to brainstorming ideas to solve their dilemmas. In contrast, we chose different physical and social-emotional milestones to highlight.

Pediatrician and some parents uses Developmental Milestones to help check how their patient or child is developing. They also use Developmental Milestone in autism. Autism is a complicated disorder of the brain’s growth and development. It is a lifelong condition, with symptom that appear in early childhood. There is no known cause of autism. It is not caused by the parenting circumstances nor genetic genes. Autism is not caused by any medical treatment or any vaccination. People think that Autism is different from Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Autism Spectrum Disorder and Autism are both general terms for a complex disorder of brain development.

For the developmental continuum scoring assignment, I wrote about, Little Tracker, after reviewing my peer’s papers, I discovered that the majority of us placed the writer in the “novice” developmental level. The writer wrote about a specific topic with supporting details and expansions, with simple organization. One peer did place the student at the beginning stage of writing and she provided great evidence to support her decision. Overall, I felt it was easy using the developmental continuum versus the 6 traits for this particular age of writer. It provided more flexibility in the range of development versus a particular number for each unique trait.

Observing John, I noticed he didn’t talk much. An average two year old child speaks more than 50 words. Infant And Toddler Heath (2015) John seemed to always point at what he wanted. In class the teacher tried to get John to say some words. John banks used his emotions to express how he was feeling. Right now he is unable to convert his expression to speech. A child who has difficulty with verbal expression may be diagnosed with expressive language disorder. Expressive language disorder (2015) You can tell by his gestures if he was happy, sad, or mad. It wasn’t hard trying to figure out Johns’ needs.

Following tips try to understand very conditional. Remember that every child is unique and follows its own pace, so some children are walking even before the first birthday, and some still don't.

Developmental milestone is the cycle of life. The process shapes us from babies to an adult. Specially with families. My family has always pushed me and influenced me to do better in life and to never give up no matter what life throws at you. I remember till this very own day my mother would say, “There's always light at the end of every tunnel.” Hearing those words has always encouraged me every time I want to give up. Also my culture has a huge influence on me. Even though my parents practiced the religion Islam, but they were never too religious. We believe in one god. We went to Arabic classes; learned about Islam. However, at the end of the day my parents were my biggest support system. And would always tell me whatever I choose in life

Developmental milestones describe a set of functional skills that many children can do at a particular age range. These milestones help measure how your baby is developing, such as the first word, or first smile. Even though milestones have an approximate age level, every child is unique, and the age when a child reaches that milestone can vary quite a lot. Beginning at age four months, babies learn to coordinate perceptive and motor abilities. This is the age of discovery when they develop skills like grasping, rolling over, sitting up, and their feet.

The activity explain above would be a developmental and consolidating developmental, and practice activity. This activity is developmental because the teacher is teaching something new, she informs students that 10 take away one is 9. Next thing this activity demonstrates is consolidating developmental. This is demonstrated when the students count out 9 objects and add one to get ten and then take away one to get 9. The manipulates act as objects in the math problem that the students can visibly see and touch as they

There was a lot that this activity, it helped to open my eyes and expand my mind more on the developmental milestones. Before I started this activity, I guessed what I thought some of the milestones for each age group was and I was way off. I was underestimating the children’s abilities, for the milestones for the three year olds I placed some of the in the four year old milestones. This helped me realize that child are smarter than most give them credit for. A surprise to me was that the classroom there was ran like other classrooms that I have observed. I saw they had an everyday routine that they followed just like the second grade class I’m observing and they even do centers like the kindergarten class I observed. I wish I would have had

I would compare the child’s progress to where I believe he or she should be. This will help to determine their abilities, strengths, weaknesses, achievements, and what their possible needs might be. I would determine this based on things that have been documented in the portfolio and the knowledge that I have of the stages of development. Using the portfolio as my basis I would be able to discuss and review with the parents their child’s progress because I would be able to show them actual examples of their ongoing progress in different areas of development.

Question 7 - Look at some data for a child at the one-word stage of development (this could be video data for the CHILDES database, or observational/diary data you have collected from a child to whom you have access; the contextual function of one-word utterances can be hard to perceive in transcript-only data).

Being able to make decisions is very significant in a growing child’s initial development. This speeds up their mental development and their personality. The simple act of selecting what color to paint the grass will rapidly speed up their decision making skills tremendously. Unlike much of the core curriculum in which accurate answer and instructions triumph, in the arts, it is ruling and creativity rather than rules that conquer; this generates a free mind in a child and that develops a basis to a new way of thinking. This will lead them down the road to be able to teach children that problems can have more than one solution in life. It clarifies to kids that in harder arrangements of problem solving purposes are infrequently fixed, but can alter with situation and opportunity. Learning in the arts requires ability and a willingness to surrender to the unanticipated possibilities of the work as it folds. (Eisner). The arts develop a sense of independence, and confidence within a child which can benefit them for years to come.

Developmental milestones describe physical skills or behaviors observed in children as they grow and develop at certain ages. These milestones include physical (gross and fine motor), cognitive, social, emotional, language and nonverbal communication skills. To ensure that children meet these developmental milestones, parents, early childhood and school teachers, general practitioners and pediatricians use checklists as a guide to ensure that children are roughly “on track” for their age. Developmental milestones are useful to highlight any areas in which a child might be delayed as early detection and intervention is essential in minimizing the effects of developmental “hiccups”. However, it is important to remember that children will develop at different rates.
