Child Development Visit
Date: November 25th
Time: 6:45-7.30 pm
Age: 4 years 2 months
Place: Jack's house
People present: Jack and I
Aims and planning:
For this visit I plan to visit Jack during his bedtime to study his
bedtime routine. I thought this would be a good visit to do as it
involves physical, intellectual, social and emotional development and
these should be easy to observe throughout this visit. First I will
make sure this visit is convenient with Jack's mum and find a suitable
day. I will go around Jack's house 15 minutes before his bedtime
routine starts so I can speak to him about his day and again get him
comfortable with being with me (as visits are only every month Jack
may be a bit shy as first). Firstly I will ask Jack to say goodnight
to his Mum and Dad, we will then walk up the stairs and at this time I
will be observing the way he does it. At the top of the stairs I will
ask Jack's Mum to put a line of any sort across the landing to see can
follow this line. I will then go in Jack's room with him and ask him
to put his pyjamas on. Whilst he is doing this I will observe his
ability to get undressed and undressed by himself. When Jack is
changed I will ask him to choose a book and I will read this book to
him asking him questions as I go along. Throughout the visit I will be
seeing how Jack finds it being with me and not his Mum at bedtime.
When Jack is asleep I will tell Jack's Mum and Dad how the visit went
and say goodbye.
Expectations:
Physical Development
====================
I expect Jack to be able to run up the stairs in adult fashion as he
should of improved since visit one. I expect him to be able to walk
along the straight line maybe only wobbling once on the way.

with the child I have chosen outdoor play. I’ve chosen this because it really focuses on most aspects of development. After researching outdoor play, I still agree with my decision, this is due to research saying that it is very good for the child. In addition to this, it’s a form of physical play which I think will really help the child’s development. Margaret McMillan was a scholar who studied subjects like outdoor play. She had many beliefs plus theories on how this would benefit a child mentally
Attachment Relationship (1998) is based on the link between a parent’s portrayal of attachment and the relationship between the parent and child. One of the elements that is central to attachment theory is a parent’s cognitive representation of a relationship is representative of the pattern of interactions expected with developing a relationship with his/her own child. The assumption was justified van IJzendoorn reviewed six- hundred sixty-one dyads, and the results yielded positively to support that
Holistic development in children focuses on addressing all of the needs of a child’s life: emotional, physical, relational, intellectual, creative and spiritual. This perspective to development encourages caregivers and teachers to look at the child as a whole and not focus on the individual parts.” However, there are many factors which may affect children’s holistic development as the development of a child changes all the time as it is made up of periods of fast growth followed by periods of calm
indicate mothers with depression prior to birth and after birth can affect infant development. These include cognitive, behavioral, social, and emotional aspects. This paper will be examining two articles with similar methodologies and various responses displayed in the participants. Both articles take on similar approaches; however, one article examines how less-competent mothers with depression, negatively influences child behavior and the latter takes on the approach that maternal depression is a psychological

The term motor development refers to growth in the ability of a child to use their body and physical skills. In the early years children go through great periods of learning and development. When we talk about Intellectual development, the term used to refer how a child mind and brain function develops. I think it includes thinks like their ability to communicate, to think in many creative ways
Introduction A critical part of childhood development is recognition of developmental milestones not being met which allows for children to receive early intervention (EI) sooner if necessary. With developmental disorders being more prevalent than they were 15 years ago (Chakrabarti & Fombonne, 2005), it is important to identify the disorders so children and families can be directed to appropriate interventions as early as possible. Due to the use of informal milestone checklists, only one-third
and the child. Many researchers have concluded that breast milk helps improve overall infant health and reduces risks of some diseases and cancers for the infant as well as the mother. According to Newman and Pitman, there are numerous health benefits for a breastfed infant. They describe that breast milk contains anti-bodies that keep a child from getting ill, and that the milk’s composition changes as the child grows to better protect and benefit the immune system and growth of the child (Newman
growth is developmental, and each child needs a secure caring and motivating atmosphere in which to grow and developed emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. I believe nature and nurture are the two aspects that influence in child development. Nature and nurture are different in several ways, but they both play an important role in child development. I believe that the environment that a person grows up in has the most influence on child development because children reflect what they

The Portage model adds that intervention objectives and strategies must be individualized for each child and family based on their resources, priorities and concerns. This model further emphasizes that data collection is important to reinforce positive changes and to make ongoing intervention decisions (Sampon & Wollenburg, 1998). The Portage Project

(2010) broadly define nurturance as including “warmth, affection, and acceptance” (p. 1145). Like nurturance, many researchers have looked at the importance of similar issues such as attention, attachment, and bonding. Conversely, issues such as stressful environments and unstable relationships have been shown to have negative consequences on childhood development. The importance of this

Without adequate treatment from a licensed therapist, some children are at risk for failure in their lives and cease to function in an indifferent society. In the childhood development stages, they are more acceptable to learning coping skills and this will alleviate the pain from exposure to abuse of the
developed between a parent and a child is of great influence and may benefit the child’s cognitive and behavioral development. The kind of parent-child rapport obtained can also hinder these developments if the relationship fails to fulfill the common day-to-day necessities of a child while he or she goes through developmental changes. After much deliberation, reading and research it is to no surprise that the kind of relationship established between a parent and a child serves as the foundation as well
Personal Philosophy Introduction Child development is divided into four areas of development; social / emotional, physical (motor), cognitive, and language. Typically children develop in a sequence of stages in each area. Although development normally follows the same series of stages, there are individual differences in what age each stage occurs. Development in part depends on the experiences a child encounters. According to Wardle (2004), young children learn from their total experience
