Child and Young Person Development (0-19 years)
Every child is an individual and will develop skills in their own way and time, but there are ‘developmental norms’ and ages when you would expect a child to develop certain skills. Consider stages of development from birth to 19 years, and influences on a child’s life that could affect them developing according to expected norms.
Learning outcomes
- You will learn that children’s development begins from the moment of conception
- You will learn that family influence is usually the most significant factor affecting development. You will understand the importance of forming a good relationship with parents and carers – working in partnership with them.
- You will be able to recognise when a child is falling behind their peers or reaching milestones sooner than expected
Advantages of this course
- Each area of childhood development is important, and we must understand these areas in order to offer children and young people appropriate learning experiences and levels of support. This course clearly outlines ages and stages of development.
- A child or young person with a disability may develop at a different rate or sequence to ‘the norm’. The presentation section of this lesson explains the common effects of particular disabilities on development.
- Additional activities encourage you to reflect on the learning
- There is also suggested extended reading that gives both practical information and links to websites to expand knowledge
