TDA 2.1 Child and young person development
Learning outcome 1.1
Describe the expected pattern of children and young people’s development from birth to 19 years, to include:
· Physical development
· Communication and intellectual development
· Social, emotional and behavioural development
Birth to 3 years
The expected pattern starts at 0-3 years where a child is expected to develop the most. They have little control over their bodies at 0-1 years and are dependent on their natural instincts eg: sucking, grasping.
Newborn
New Born babies use their senses from the moment they are born, they can already recognise their mothers voice and smell and they have natural reflexes for example the Walking and standing reflex which occurs when babies are held upright with their feet on a firm surface, they usually make stepping movements.
Physical Development
Swallowing and sucking reflexes - These ensure that the baby can feed and swallow milk
Rooting reflex - The baby will move its head to look for a nipple or teat.
Grasp reflex - The baby will automatically put her fingers around an object that has touched the palm of her hand.
Startle reflex - When babies hear a sudden sound or bright light, they will react by moving their arms outwards and clenching their fists
Walking and standing reflex - When babies are held upright with their feet on a firm surface, they usually make stepping movements
Falling reflex - This is known as the Moro reflex. Babies will stretch out their arms suddenly and then clasp inwards in any situations in which they feel that they are falling.
Communication and Intellectual development
Babies at birth cry in order to communicate their needs, they may cry when they are hungry, in pain, need feeding, changing or just cuddling. They also start to look around and react to sounds.
Social, Emotional and Behavioural Development
Babies and their primary carers, usually their mothers, begin to develop a strong, close bond
