Unit 1
Task 1.1
Describe the expected pattern of children and young people’s development from birth to 19 years to include;
A. Physical development
There are many different developments between newborn and 19 years. All children develop at their own pace but there are several milestones they should reach. Newborn babies have very little control of their bodies as they begin to get older they start to develop these ‘skills.’ They start to develop ‘gross motor skills,’ by 6 months a child will start to:
Recognise sounds and movements and start to turn head towards it
Recognise faces of family and friends
Smile at familiar faces and voices
Hold and shake a rattle
Put anything they find into their mouths
Between 6 months and 1 year they start to gain more ‘gross motor skills’ as they start to:
Sit unaided
Roll over from tummy and back again
They crawl, creep or shuffle on their bottom
Move an object from one hand to another
These skills continue to get stronger and stronger as they get older. By one and two years old they start to use their ‘fine motor skills’ examples of these are:
Using there fingers and thumb to pick an item up
Banging items together
By two and three years old is when the ‘movement skills’ develop these include:
Throwing a ball
Kicking a ball
At 3-7 years the children will refine the skills they have developed so far, they will have more confidence with the ‘fine motor skills’ such as:
Holding pens/pencils and colouring - you should supply materials such as crayons, paint or pens to encourage their fine motor skills
Using scissors to cut
Hold pencil and start to write
Start doing simple puzzles or playing with building bricks.
When a child is aged between 7 and 12 they gain even more confidence in their ‘gross motor skills’ by improving what they have learnt from a younger age.
They can run a lot further and faster
