Why Is Childhood Development Important?

In order to apply theories and models of child development to support children’s development we must get to know each individual child by building a good relationship with the children through play, communication and answering to their personal needs. Observation and assessment is also key so that we know what each child is capable of and what they are working towards/could be encouraged towards. Good communication with parents is also beneficial as it helps the carer to see what the child is doing at home and to identify if there are things they do or don’t do at nursery that is different from home. It also helps to work out ways of encouraging development at home and at nursery.

Child`s development must be seen holistically as each area of development are connected with and affects every other area of development.

In this paper I plan to discuss the developmental stages of adolescence. Adolescents are also referred to as "teenagers" or "young adults." Adolescence begins after the childhood stage and ends right before adulthood. The years of adolescence range from 12 years old to 21 years old. The years of adolescence can be quite a roller coaster ride. Young people in this stage encounter a great deal of changes in their life as they prepare for adulthood. I will discuss emotional, intellectual, physiological, and social domains of development and how it relates to adolescents. I will also discuss some helpful tips for teachers to aide in communicating effectively to adolescents and understanding their

A*) It is important that practitioners understand, the pattern of development of children, from birth to 16 years because; at each age and stage there are different mile stones for them to reach. These are like goals that are set to be accomplished. The practitioners need to know this so they can help the child progress in what the child is capable of achieving.

Also at each stage the child will

Adolescence is a time of stressful transition for teenagers. They are straddling the fence between childhood and adulthood. Changes in their bodies, brains, thinking, values, friends, responsibilities and expectations cause events that are usually a time fraught with turbulence, for both the teen and their parents. This is a normal part of human development, and must be endured in order to come out the other side, hopefully well-adjusted, happy, healthy, and

One of the most trying and confusing periods in a person’s life is adolescences. The period of adolescence can be both thrilling and trying times in a one life. We experience a great deal of growth during this period. Adolescence is also a period where we begin to leave a childhood behind and take our first steps into adulthood. When we begin this journey into adulthood we begin to lose our some of our innocence.

When raising a child parents should consider what type of parent they are going to be to their children. They should decide on which approaches they are going to make in regards to how their child is going to act. There is no guarantee to know how a child is going to behave as they grow older; it is important that parents take the steps necessary to ensure that they can help and try to avoid losing their relationship with their children. A parent's role in raising their children is appreciation, encouragement, guidance, trust, and acceptance. It is not easy to raise a child, and not all kids are going to turn out the way their parents expect them to.

Passing through different stages, young children 's development maybe affected by TRANSITIONS and significant events.There are some events for which adults can prepare them.You need to consider the following transitions:

For many years parents and their teenage children have found it difficult to understand one another during this phase of life because of the changes the child faces as they develop mentally and physically. This misunderstanding may be caused by various reasons such as hormonal changes, and as for the teenage children while transitioning some of them act out in outrageous ways such as being rebellious to their parents, get into drugs due to social influence and others getting carried away because of peer pressure, while others not affect by the transition as much. So for this reason, I have chosen this topic to see if I could understand some of the issues on adolescents and trouble they face during this transition with their parents.

However, parents must realize that they have the most important role to play in the development of their child’s emotional and behavioral traits.

My major is human development - childhood track. I want to work with children with  special needs to give them the best pathway to a fulfilling life.

Adolescence is the distinct transitional stage between childhood and adulthood in human development, extending primarily over the teenage years and terminating legally when the age of majority is reached (Rathus, 2014). However in some instances, this biological, cognitive, social and emotional maturity may not be reached until a later stage and may be dictated by gender. Adolescence is characterised by rapidly changing and unpredictable behaviour (Freud, as cited in Rathus 2014), heightened and unstable emotions (Hall, as cited in Rathus 2014), disturbances in identity, the gradual development of one’s moral reasoning (Kohlberg, as cited in Rathus, 2014) and the gradual establishment of one’s independence. Several of these changes may occur at differing phases in adolescent growth. This development is categorized into three separate stages; early adolescence, middle adolescence, and late adolescence. Early Adolescence, commencing from the ages of eleven or twelve until the age of fourteen, comprises of several features such as rapid biological development and maturity, heightened stress levels and limited coping capabilities. On the other hand, middle adolescence, from the approximate age of fourteen to sixteen, involves the gradual cease of biological change, an increase in coping strategies and declined stress levels. Furthermore, late adolescence, commencing from the age of sixteen until the age of eighteen or nineteen, encompasses physical maturity, whereby the

Every builder knows "A house is only as strong as its foundation". They also know that they have to evaluate and become familiar the land before beginning to work. This rationale can be used as a guideline for teachers across the world, especially with the children in the early childhood stage, ages 2-6, because how teachers assist children in this stage will serve as the foundation for the life ahead of them. A child develops physically, cognitively and socially. It is important for the teachers to know how the child is developing in order for them to effectively teach the students because they lack of understanding can lead problems for the child. Additionally, if the teacher is aware of how the
