Unit Cyp 3.1 Understand Child and Young Person Development

Babies will start to lift and turn their heads, using their arms to support their upper body when lying on their stomach.

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 e.g. sucking, grasping but when the child has more control over their body they will start to crawl and eventually progress to walking. By the age of 3 as well as

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.

CAF and the pre-caf are also assessment methods for identifying & meeting invididual needs where your service provision works in partnership with outside agencies.

4.1 Analyse the importance of early identification of speech, language and communication delays and disorders and the potential risks of late recognition. It is essential that speech, language and communication delays and disorders are noticed early so the relevant interventions can be used to support the child or young person. Answer the questions below.

13. Home environment – Research and other evidence tells us that some children, particularly those from low income homes, do not experience the rich, well-planned communication and language provision in their settings that is necessary to support their development.

Unit 10: Understand Child and Young Person Development There are a range of factors which affect a child’s development. Each area of development will be affected by their background and health. It is therefore important to be aware of these to know how much encouragement and support each pupil may need to allow them to develop as far as possible.

Be able to assess the development needs of children and young people and prepare a development plan

The baby will learn to turn over as a means to getting something she wants. At around six months, a baby will be able to start sitting by herself unsupported. Again, once the baby is able to do this, she will have more range and ability to reach objects that she wants. The next step is crawling. Not all babies will crawl.

Infants – When babies are less than 2 months old, they spend most of their time sleeping (up to 16 hours a day) or eating. They can turn their heads and focus on people’s faces, but have a hard time with head control. Crying is main way of expression, and they cannot tell the difference between family and strangers. Infants between 2 and 6 months old have a strong sucking reflect, active extremity movement, and a strong cry. They will use their hands to examine the world. Infants between 6 and 12 months old start learning to speak. They can sit, crawl, and begin to walk. There is a risk of foreign bodies entering through their mouth. They are also not afraid of strangers. Assessing infants should be done with the parents holding or close to the baby.

In the video titled Fetus at 12 weeks, in which I observed, it is really hard to tell how big the fetus is but it is the size of a plum. Which is only a few inches long. The fetus has only begun to use reflexes really well. The fetus is actively squirming in the beginning. Though the mother will unlikely feel the fetus move at this time for at least a few more weeks. The fetus is moving well developed arms and legs which mimics a child running outside the womb and putting hands and fingers to his/her face. We note that fetal activity is an early sign of milestones to come. These milestones are important in normal development.

By 3 years the child has gained enough balance and strength to know how to jump, walk up and down the stairs and how to tiptoe. At 4 years’ hand eye coordination would improve a lot when throwing an object to someone, they are also able to gain grip and know when to let go with aim. As they get older they are able to gain confidence and start to run, hop, skip and much more. When they start school they learn how to use scissors and thread beads onto a thread. From when they were 2 drawing scribbles to try to identify shapes are being made but by 4 years they start to use them shapes to draw people and houses.

A child in this stage of development is likely to produce sounds or observe objects simply because the child likes it (Piaget & Inhelder, 1969).
