2.1 Explain How Children and Young People’s Development Is Influenced by a Range of Personal Factors

Children and young people often experience many things which have a direct impact on their development; things such as their family environment and structure, personality, hospital visits, childcare arrangements, and culture.

By completing all tasks within the assignment, the candidate will provide evidence that meets the Learning Outcomes and assessment criteria for Unit 022, Understand Child and Young Person Development.

It is important that children get a lot of opportities for education and learning so they can development social and emotional skills to use through life. Children how receive poor opportunities to for an education and learning will not develop as well as child who did because they are not getting the experience and knowledge they need. If a child has good opportunities to learn them to learn then they will have better language skills to communicate with other people in lots of different social setting. They may realise that they have a talent for something such a music or sport and have aspiration to develop this into a career later in life but if they are not given this opportunity they will not have the chance to develop this skill.

* Poor housing- One of the side effects of poverty is poor housing. People on low income are often dependent on local authority housing. This may result in overcrowding, for example being housed in a bedsit or home with insufficient bedrooms. This means the child has no privacy, or personal space. They may struggle with homework and course work because of the lack of a quiet space in which to complete it. The housing provided may be of a poor quality – suffering damp or be in disrepair. This could have a detrimental effect on the child’s health – causing asthma or frequent colds and coughs. It will probably be in a less desirable area or could be in an area with social disorder problems. This may result in the children becoming isolated, as

Without it, it can negatively impact on social development. Health-poor nutrition can have a negative impact on development psychologically and physically. It can cause weight problems and unhealthy eating can have other negative effects if they are not taught to eat healthy early on in life. Parental interactions-this can have a positive or negative effect on a child's development. If a child has time spent playing, reading, doing activities with them, it will have a positive impact on their development. However if a child is neglected/ignored by their parents, it may affect their development in a more negative way. Learning environment-a strong learning environment both at home and at school/nursery that is informative/supportive is very important as this may improve their development. If the educational environment is poor or under privileged, development will be negatively affected. Therefore good parental support and involvement can play an important part in a child's development. Pollution-pollutants from within the environment can affect a child's physical development, they can lead to breathing difficulties and growth restrictions. Social background-factors

They will be delayed in their physical development due to difficulties with the lower brain which is responsible for balance and co-ordination. They may also have a difference in muscle tone and find it difficult to gauge how much to grip an object. This delay in physical development will have an impact on the child’s social and emotional development also as they may not get as much chance to play and interact with other children in their peer group.

Other children with mild learning disability can grow up to be independent. Also, a child can have a specific learning difficulty in reading, writing or understanding what is said to them, but have no problem with learning skills in other areas of life. A child who has learning difficulties should be encouraged to develop in all areas to the best of their ability and as much as they can. Health If a child suffers from poor health or a physical disability or impairment, this may affect their developmental opportunities. For example, a child who has a medical condition or impairment may be less able to participate in some activities than other children. This may initially affect physical development, but may also restrict social activities, for example, on the playground. The child’s emotional development may also be affected, depending on their awareness of their needs and the extent to which they are affected. External Factors: Poverty and deprivation: Poverty and deprivation are likely to have a significant effect on pupil development. Statistics show that children who come from deprived backgrounds are less likely to thrive and achieve well in school, as parents will find it more difficult to manage their children’s needs, which will in turn impact on all areas of their development. These will all affect the way in which pupils are able to respond to different situations. Looked after/care status: If a child is looked

Children will come from a diverse range of backgrounds including family environments cultures and circumstances. A child is at school from a very young age to late teens and during this time many families will go through significant changes. Sometimes however schools may not always be aware of these changes. Any one of these happenings may affect their emotional and or intellectual development, this in turn can affect their behaviour in school and therefore their ability to learn. Sometimes it can also affect their physical development, for example some children may development a speech impediment such as a stutter.

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.

Summarise the main development of a child from the age range 0-2 years, 3-5 years and 5-8 years.

A childâ€TMs development may be restricted by poor health, a disability or a form of impairment. These children may not be as able as other children; social activities i.e playing at lunchtime may also be affected. Physical and Emotional Development may also be affected, adults/staff in school should
