Unit 2-Development from Conception to Age 16 Years
The area of development I have chosen is physical development. A definition of physical development -This is the time when the body develops its performance, having complete control over the body. A child will expand in itself physical performances in both age ranges from birth to three years and from three to seven years.
This development is divided into two fundamental sections; Gross motor along with Fine motor . Gross motor are the greater movements that obligate good muscle development plus control which are sectioned off into Gross motor skills and locomotion skills. One being the ability to use numerous limbs for example throwing a ball, the other being everyday movements e.g. walking as well as running.
Fine motor corresponds; the term describes minor movements that engage smaller muscles to work. This is yet again broken down into two key sections; Fine manipulative skills- the minor movements that are needed when doing puzzles, drawing, painting or writing. Along with fine motor skills- the combination of hand plus wrist actions for e.g. opening a door
The combination of hand-eye coordination, Foot-eye coordination and balance are additionally found in both gross and fine motor to help the child develop. Which can be linked to brain development .This is because “Maturation of the nervous system is linked to brain growth and development. In term of physical development, this growth effects the development of gross and fine motor skills”.(CASHELevel3ChildCareAndEducation/PennyTassoni/pg40)As a child grows with age coordination and balance should become natural given that the brain develops and becomes more intricate. Birth to three years period is a very significant time in the child’s life, during this time they will progress as well as absorb lasting skills. They will learn to develop in many different areas along with numerous milestones they should achieve according to their age. These milestones are set into the gross and fine motor category,
