TDA 2.1 Child and young person development

TDA 2.1 Child and young person development. 1.1 Describe expected pattern of children and young people’s development from birth to 19 years.
Birth to one year
New-born babies can: * see faces as fuzzy shapes * grasp an object that has touched the palm of their hand * turn their head to look for a nipple or teat if their cheek is touched * suck and swallow * try to make stepping movements if they are held upright with their feet on a firm surface * startle in response to a sudden sound or bright light * stretch their arms suddenly and then bring them in if they feel they are falling * recognise their mother’s voice and smell * cry when they are hungry, in pain, need feeding, changing or just cuddling.
One to three years By their first birthday, babies can: * move around, either by crawling or shuffling or some may be standing with support and a small number walking alone * sit up alone and feed themselves, at least with their fingers * use their hands skilfully to move and arrange objects including dropping things on the floor and looking to see where they are * wave ‘bye bye’ and point at things with their fingers * communicate by babbling and saying two syllable words like ‘dada’ * understand the world around them * know who their main carers are and cry if they are left with someone they do not know.
Third birthday By their third birthday, children can: * run, climb and pedal a tricycle * walk upstairs on alternate feet and walk on tiptoe * use the toilet alone * talk clearly so anyone can understand them * tell the difference between boys and girls * sometimes play co-operatively with other children * build a tower of nine bricks and build a bridge with bricks * undo buttons and thread beads * enjoy playing with role play toys and dressing up * enjoy books *
