Ncfe Level 2 Support in Schools Assignment 1
Task 1
Children and Young People’s Development follows a basic pattern or sequence which does not necessarily occur at fixed ages. A list of milestones has been created as a guide to expected development. Children and Young People’s Development can be affected by a number of other factors; for example, social interaction and special needs.
My development framework is divided into five age ranges: 0-12 months, 1-3 years, 3-5 years, 5-11 years and 11-19 years.
At 0-12 months, a child’s social development includes making sounds to communicate whether crying or babbling and responding positively to family members and familiar people. Communication development follows a similar path. A child will recognise familiar voices, respond with smiles and start to imitate others. Physical development is rapid. A child will develop control of their head, learn to grasp objects, later use a pincer grasp and start to gain control of their body to enable them to sit unaided and eventually crawl. Young people of this age range are very egocentric. They begin to process information through images and commence to become aware of object permanence. Emotionally, a child at this age has a very strong bond with its parents, particularly the mother. They require reassurance and security and become upset when others are angry.
At 1-3 years, social development has progressed to responding to simple Instructions and now wants to help adults, to please and seek approval. Physically, a child will be starting to enjoy holding a cup and feeding his or herself. They will begin to start to use a potty, can undress and try to dress self but will require some help. Intellectual development has moved on and now a child can do simple puzzles and recognise basic colours. They can also recognise facial features and body parts. At 1-3 years, communication development has moved on to asking lots of questions to gain more information and they can now form sentences. They also repeat a lot
