Children pick up things from what they see and it effects them in major ways when it comes to their development. We expect and hope that all children have strong physical, motor, cognitive, communication, and social skills. What we often forget to do is be the example of strong when it comes to those things. It is our job to help children reach their full potential. I do understand that there may be times where some children have a disability. If that is the case we must help them to grow in every department and strengthen a developmental skill that they have to make up for where they lack in. When it comes to me teaching in a class I will do my best to be as flexible as possible. When teachers can not adjust to make the classroom great for all of their students the classroom is no longer a great learning environment. In order to make sure that the students have everything they need to help them to fully develop, I must become a great observer. In my class I will make sure that I get to know all my students personally. That way I can know their strengths and weaknesses.

However all children are individual and this is an outline of expected development.

Their family/Home circumstances are a factor that may cause affect to their development. The condition of a child’s home environment is an important aspect of how they progress. If a child lives in an environment that is overcrowded or is too loud, it can negatively impact their personality. Too many members living in the same house can reduce the time you spend with your child, as you will be busy with others in the house. The child may therefore find other ways to keep busy and distance themselves from their home. Not having a positive relationship with their parents/carers can also affect their development. If a child feels they cannot confide in their parents/carers they may experience social problems including, withdrawal, loneliness,
and young people .When assessing a child or young person a factor that should be considered is

This paper will discuss the observations made at the Child Development lab, and how they are connected to various types of development learned throughout this course.
From the video observation, the two three-year old children, Thomas and Riley set off on a bus journey along with their childminder; it is observed that both the children speak about their journey, in which they are able to identify various features, which include the passengers; various buildings and different types of buses. Both children observe many of the features by taking photographs to highlight what they have observed on their journey. From observation, the video looks at the way the childminder plans the experience from a child-initiated stance, which directs the children’s learning in addition with assisting them with role-play and symbolic play, which is shown towards the end of the video. Thus, this essay will focus on the
Before taking this course, my comprehension of lifespan development was basic. I was aware that the beginning of ones’ journey through life starts in the mother’s womb and continuously develops as they mature from a child to an adult ending with death. By the same token, it was also my understanding that we are who become as a result of what our parents teach us and how they discipline us; however, taking this course broadened my understanding. Although I do believe that our parents play a significant role in our development throughout life, I now realize numerous contributing factors also influence our development. Unfortunately, though it may be extremely helpful to several of us, especially first-time parents, there is not a how-to guide
Childhood development encompasses the cognitive, physical, social, moral and emotional changes from birth until the end of adolescence (White, Hayes & Livesey, 2013). Throughout childhood, environment and genetics promote or discourage growth and development. This essay will analyse the cognitive, physical, social, moral and emotional domains in relativity to my own development from the prenatal stage until adolescence. Psychological and environmental theories are used to develop the understanding and connection between each domain and stage of development. Lastly, this essay will address the controversial nature verses nurture debate and its relevance to my childhood development.
