1. From birth to 19 years of age, children and young people tend to follow a broad developmental plan. Although children and young people are different, the way they grow and develop is often quite similar. This means we can work out a pattern for development and from this we can pinpoint particular skills or milestones that most children can do at different age ranges. Milestones describe when particular skills are achieved, such as walking, usually achieved by 18 months. These milestones have been draw up by researchers looking at children’s development and working out an average from their recordings. However as children grow older the variations between individuals grow larger.…
| From birth – very little control over their bodies, movements are reflexes i.e. sucking, swallowing, grasping.From their first year babies will start to have more control – hold their head, roll over, sit up unaided, hold a rattle, put everything into their mouths and start to crawl. During their second year development and growth continues and most start to walk. They learn to control their movements and grab objects and food and start to play with toys. They will start to climb and learn to judge distances. Towards their third year, children will have lots more control as their muscles develop and their confidence grows. Feeding themselves, using a cup and showing an interest in dressing themselves, also able to grip pencils and turn pages in a book.…
Refined motor skills start in the infancy stage and again carry on into the childhood stage…
At the birth all the babies are dependent on their parents however they do learn and explore such as when new born baby is awake the look around by moving their heads, watch and begin to recognise their carer or parents . At this age of birth to 18 months babies grow and develop with great speed. Three months old baby will be able to kick their leg and stretch the arms, can lift their head up when lying also the babies can turn side to side this we can define as gross motor skills. By using fine motor skills the babies can hold a small toy for a short period of time also the try to grab your finger and play. They also react on the sounds they hear and begin to move their head towards the things which makes voice. Six months old babies develop more and do use more gross motor skills such as they may try to roll over from back to from, may hold up hands to be picked up and they may also be able to sit without support for a short period of time. In fine motor skills they can pass to toys from one hand to another and has learned to drop the things. Nine months old baby plays a major part in gross motor skills because in here they can start learn to crawl, when sitting can turn sides to reach the toys. Furthermore, they can use fingers to point at things. With 12 months old babies gross motor skills can be that they can stand alone, can start walking but will tend to fall or sit suddenly or also can walk few steps if someone is holding them. In fine motor skills they can begin to show preference for one, put small objectives in to a container blocks in to a beaker. In fifteen to eighteen months old babies can walk independently, can get up to standing position without any help or support and may be able to walk up and down the stairs without adult's help and can push or pull toys when…
While the sequences are common amongst most children what often changes is the rate in which they develop the skills. It is important to monitor a child's sequence and rate of development in order for us to determine the kind of help he/she will need and of whom they will need to be referred too. From the birth of a child to the moment the child starts to talk, the child will go through different stages of development and at different rates. At first a baby will start to learn simple reflexes by exploring new objects through the means of touching and seeing, over an average period of six weeks. At the end of the six weeks, or sooner or later depending on the baby (this is an example of rate of development), the baby's hands…
While in middle childhood, Mason and Samantha successfully rode bikes, showing a mastery of gross motor skills (Cratty 1986). Samantha, who is two years Mason’s senior, was able to ride a bike while Mason was left to run. A few years later, Mason was able to ride a bike as well. This advancement of gross motor skills follows an age pattern, and shows normative physical development.…
Physical - New born babies are born with many different reflexes to help them survive. These reflexes include the ability to swallow and suck reflexes, enabling them to feed. They also use a grasp reflex where they will automatically wrap their fingers around the caregiver’s finger or object when it is pressed against their palm. As the child ages there are many other physical developments that they learn by the time they are 4 weeks old they can focus on a face and follow an object, by the time they reach 5 months old they are able to lift their own head while they are lay flat on their stomach, roll over, wave a rattle or toy and try and reach for an object to hold. When the child reaches the age of 12 months the child should normally be crawling, sitting and able to pull themselves up on furniture and walk along it. The child will enjoy bouncing and clapping their hands along to music. Between the ages of 2-3 the child should be able to walk, run, climb up and down of furniture and be able to feed themselves.…
Babies to toddlers 0-3 years- Babies physically develop very quickly. They have built in reflexes from birth such as latching on to feed, sucking and grabbing. Babies are very inquisitive, grabbing objects and passing them between their hands as their hand to eye coordination improves. Usually most babies are mobile by their first birthday, rolling, crawling and even walking. In their second year they start to walk, or become more confident walkers. They will use their…
In their second year, children should have better ability to control their movement. In their third year, children would start to develop some ‘fine motor skills’ such as painting, colouring, and scribbling. They would enjoy looking at, and turning the pages of books. At this age they should be able to use a cup and feed themselves.…

| Rolling, sitting, lifting head up and then pushing on their arms and legs to develop their large motor skills which later leads to crawling, walking, jumping, running, kicking a ball and catching and throwing a ball. Fine motor skills, (gripping, holding cups/pencils, turning pages of a book). Balancing on one leg. Children’s sight develops (born with very poor sight) leading to telling the difference between colours. The use of the toilet independently. Children will also go through teething.…

Many times in discerning about physical development, we reason most about large-muscle or gross-motor development. This kind of improvement states to the usage of large-muscle collections in the arms (catching and throwing), legs (walking and running).None the less, small-muscle or fine-motor development also is comprised in the physical development of a child, and contracts with such zones as smiling, picking up a spoon or tying lace of a shoe.…
