The Child AND Adolescent: By: Shane Marie J. Noble

The document discusses 10 principles of child development and learning that inform developmentally appropriate practice for children from birth to age 8 according to the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The principles state that all domains of development are important and interrelated; development proceeds at different rates in different areas for each child; and early experiences have profound cumulative and delayed effects on development. Play, secure relationships, and challenges that are just beyond the child's level promote optimal learning and development.

are the bases of developmentally appropriate practice (DAP) in early
childhood program for children from birth through age 8, which are
stated in the position paper of the National Association for the
Education of Young Children (2009)
1.All the domains of development and learning-physical social and
emotional, and cognitive are important and they are closely
interrelated.

2. Many aspects of children’s learning and development follow well


documented sequences, with later abilities, skills and knowledge
building on those already acquired.
3. Development and learning proceed at varying rates from child to
child, as well as at uneven rates across different areas of child’s
individual functioning.

4. Development and learning result from a dynamic and continuous


interaction of biological maturation and experience.
5. Early experiences have profound effects, both cumulative and
delayed, on a child’s development and learning; and optimal periods
exist for certain types of development and learning to occur.

6. Development proceeds toward greater complexity, self-regulation,


and symbolic or representational capacities.
7. Children develop best when they have secure, consistent,
relationships with responsive adults and opportunities for positive
relationships with peers.

8. Development and learning occur in and are influenced by


multiple social and cultural contexts.
9. Always mentally active in seeking to understand the world
around them, children learn in a variety of ways;

10. Play is an important vehicle for developing self-regulation as


well as for promoting language, cognition, and social competence.
11. Development and learning advance when children are
challenged to achieve at a level just beyond their current mastery,
and also when they have many opportunities to practice newly
acquired skills.

learning, such as persistence, initiative and flexibility.
