The expected pattern of development
• Child development charts show the expected
patterns of a child/young person’s
development.
• Each aspect of development can have an
effect on the other aspects so patterns are
variable and general.
Videoclip
• Watch video clip and answer questions on your
worksheet!
The pattern of physical development
A child’s physical development follows a pattern:
simple
•
•
complex
standing before walking
walking before skipping or hopping
from head
toe
• physical control and coordination begins with the child’s
head and works down the body
from inner
outer
• gross motor skills to fine motor skills
from general
specific
• general responses to specific ones.
Physical Development
The physical appearance of children
begins to change as they get older. He or
she loses their body shape and
begins to look like a small adult
As the children begin to develop, their
balance becomes very good. This means
that they can run, climb and jump
Physical development
Gross motor skills
Using the large muscles in
the body, for example:
walking
running
climbing
Fine motor skills
Gross
manipulative
skills
Fine
manipulative
skills
(single limb
movements)
(use of hands)
e.g.:
throwing
catching
ACTIVITY 1
Research the physical development of 0-3
years old. Use the timeline provided to show
your findings.
e.g.:
painting
drawing
using a knife and
fork
writing
tying shoe laces
Stages of growth…
Language development…
• What is language development?
• What are the expected norms?
• How can language development be
affected?
• Can language development be assisted
in any way?
Answer these with a your
partner….
Intellectual development
The development of the brain and mind is all part
of intellectual development
You have 1 minute to brainstorm what you think
intellectual development refers to!
Intellectual development
The development of the mind
Recognising, reasoning, knowing and understanding
What a person
knows and
understands
Memory,
concentration,
attention,
perception
Imagination,
creativity

•
How to predict that something is about to happen.
•
•
•
Can you think of
About the consequences of the actions.
examples?
By asking questions.
By understanding concepts, e.g. shapes, numbers, volume,
weights.
By repetition, e.g. singing nursery rhymes.
By imitation, e.g. copying letters when learning to write, roleplay.
•
•
What is this?
Communication and language
• Language development
is the development of
communication skills.
• Learning how to
communicate begins with
non-verbal
communication, for
example:
body language
listening
making sounds
copying sounds.
Communication and intellectual
development
• Language development is closely linked with cognitive
development.
• Cognitive development is the development of the mind.
ACTIVITY 2
In preparation for Task 1, research communication and
the intellectual development of 4-11 year old. Try to show
your findings as a timeline.
Emotional, social and behavioural
development (1)
Emotional development
is
the development of
feelings
about
oneself
self-esteem
and
self-concept
towards
other
people
Behaviour
is
the way we act, speak and treat other

Emotional, social and
behavioural development (2)
Social skills
are
the skills needed in order
to ‘fit in’
and to get on well with
others
Social
development
is
the growth of
relationships with
other people
ACTIVITY 3
In preparation for Task 1, research the emotional,
social and behavioural development of 0 –19 year old.
Try to show your findings as a timeline.
Emotional Development
• Children have to learn to cope with their
feelings and the feelings of others through
play. There are four different types of play that
young children engage in.
•
•
•
•
EXPLORING
PRACTISING
PRETENDING
SOCIAL LEARNING
• What do you think this may mean?
EXPLORING
• An object or situation-finding out how
something works or what happens if you touch
or drop something.
PRACTISING
• AN ACTIVITY OR SKILL-LEARNING TO
COORDINATE MUSCLES AND ACTIONS.
PRETENDING
• Children use their imagination to pretend a
cereal packet is a care etc.
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Social skills
are
the skills needed in order
to ‘fit in’
and to get on well with
others
Social
development
is
the growth of
relationships with
other people
In preparation for Task 1, research the emotional,
social and behavioural development of 12-19 year old.
Try to show your findings as a timeline.
SOCIAL
DEVELOPMENT
By the age of 4, children need other children to play with. They
understand how to take turns. They can be separated
from their main carer without distress
By 5 years old children are attending school, meeting lots of
new children & choosing their own friends. They cooperate with other children in games & understand rules &
fairness. Because children understand more about how
others are feeling it becomes more important for them to
have the approval of other children.
ACTIVITY 4
What can a newborn and a 6–9-month-old baby do? RESEARCH
and DISCUSS in groups to present back to class. Use worksheets
as template
•
Physical Development (Gross motor skills and fine motor
skills)
•
Communication and Language
•
Intellectual development
•
Emotional and social development
ACTIVITY 5
What can these children do?
•GROUP 1:
9–12 months
2 months–2 years
•GROUP 2:
from 2 years
from 3 years
•GROUP 3:
from 4 years
from 5–8 years
•GROUP 4:
from 8–12 years
from 12–19 years
Review
One person from each group stays where they
are
The remaining group members move to the
next table and find out what the others have
found out about children at different ages
Come back to your own group and share your
findings with the person who hasn’t moved
seats!
Personal notes…
• Make sure you have notes related to the PILES
at each life stage of development.
• Ask your partner to state the key physical
development changes that teenagers will go
through at puberty.
• Do you know what PILES
stands for?
