Q1.2 Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth to 19 years.
A (1.2) there are major theories of child development and these are known as grand theories; they attempt to describe every aspect of development, often using a stage approach. Others are known as mini-theories; they instead focus only on a limited aspect of development, such as cognitive or social growth. These are the following milestones/guidance which again can be reached at different rates/times. There will be concerns if milestones are not reached at certain rate/time as it could be an indication that a child has a learning disability, any other genetic issues or they are being neglected/maltreated by their carers

They often develop idealistic views on specific topics or concerns and may debate and develop intolerance of opposing views. They begin to focus thinking on making career decisions, making money and taking on apprenticeships and begin to focus thinking on their emerging role in adult society.
Aspects of development:
Physical
Physical development covers the aspects of development that we can see happening (e.g.) height, size and weight. With growth, there is also a dramatic change in body proportions. Genetic factors play a major role in determining the growth rate, and particularly the changes in proportion characteristic of early human development. Percentile charts are used to compare a child’s growth and weight measurements with those of other children in the same age group. This makes it possible to track a child’s growth over time and monitor how a child is growing in relation to other children. Percentile charts can also help to recognise …show more content…
They will take more responsibility for personal hygiene and girls will begin adolescent growth spurt and puberty towards the end of this period. This stage of childhood is characterized by slow and steady physical growth. Peers take on a greater importance and are typically same sex ‘best friends’ the peer group begins to influence the child’s behaviour and growth. They will become very talkative, using language to direct, report, reason and speculate, they will get along with their parents/carers but better with their
