• Intellectual Development

• Show through pictures and words children developing in these 5 words. Then write a few

Development on the next slide
Social Development

When children interact with others, whether it is children their own age or adults that care for them
they are developing their social skills. In order to get on in life children need to learn how to interact
with others, this means learning to negotiate, share, cooperate, form relationships with adults.

For a see-saw to work it is important that children cooperate


well together.
PATTERNS OF DEVELOPMENT
• In the first few months of life children’s growth is monitored by measuring height, weight and
head circumference. The measurements are taken by midwifes, GP’s and Health Visitors.
Every baby is given a child development book at birth, where the measurements are recorded
onto charts. These charts are known as centile charts. Ask your parents if they still have your
percentile charts (if not, use some from the internet), then take a picture of the charts, import
them into your work and explain the pattern of your own development.

The percentile chart shows that the child


was first measured as being on the 50th
centile. This is the average, they stayed
on the 50th centile until the age of 7
months, their weight then decreased and
they dropped down to the lower centile.
This meant that they were no longer
average weight. Professionals would ask
parents to consider diet and whether the
child’s needs more nutrients.
