Describe the Expected Pattern of Children and Young People's Development from Birth to 19 Years
1.1 Describe the expected pattern of children and young people's development from birth to 19 years.
Birth;
Recognise mothers voice and smell
Able to cry to let everyone know they need help
Actively learning through touch, taste and hearing
Swallowing and sucking reflexes- ensuring that babies can feed and swallow milk
Rooting reflex- babies move their head to look for a nipple or teat if the cheek and mouth are touched, helping the babies to find milk
Grasp reflex- automatically putting fingers around an object that has touched palm of hand
Startle reflex- when babies hear a sudden sound or see a bright light, they move their arms outwards, and clenching their fists
Walking and standing- when babies are held upright with their feet on a firm surface, they usually make stepping movements
Falling reflex- babies will stretch out arms suddenly and clasp inwards if they feel they are falling
Babies start to develop strong bonds with primary carers
Baby stares at mother when feeding
1 month;
Maybe appearing less curled up and more relaxed, starting to settle into a pattern.
Sleeping a lot but gradually starting to spend more time awake
Cry to communicate
Babies learning about parents or carers, may stop crying when they hear their soothing voices
Babies may stop crying when picked up, but start crying when put down
Relaxing at bath time and when nappies are changed
Fleeting smiles when babies are asleep
Coos when babies are content
3 months;
Babies at 3 months are growing in height and weight
Some babies may have learned the difference between day and night and are able to sleep through the night
Babies are crying less , sleeping less during the day and being more alert
Smiling quite often, and bodies are developing; lifting head up and look about when they are put on their tummies
Excitement
