What you will be expected to understand from Learning aim A • You will be expected to understand the principles of growth and development; • to use relevant information from provided sources to recognise the developmental stage that children should have reached at that age; • to anticipate the next stage(s) of development; • to recognise delays, difficulties or advanced progress in relation to growth and developmental norms; • to analyse how development in one area may affect their development in other areas; • to explain a child’s development in the context of their cultural environment; • to recall, apply and synthesise knowledge of child development and apply it to unfamiliar scenarios.
What are the five areas of development? • Physical development is to do with movement – gross, or large, movement of limbs and fine manipulative movement of fingers; includes balance and coordination.
Cognitive development is the construction of thought processes; remembering and problem solving.
Language development is the development of speech and communication; reading and writing.
Emotional development is the development of feelings about oneself and towards others; includes the development of self-esteem and self-concept.
Social development is the growth of relationships with others.
