S1 Principles of Child Development

The principle of maturation can guide teachers' expectations of children based on their biological development. For example, fine motor skills develop after gross motor skills so younger children may need support with tasks like writing. The principle of development starting from the head down also applies - early learning focuses on face and body awareness before walking. Considering children's unique temperaments and backgrounds helps teachers meet each child where they are. Understanding development is holistic and interconnected allows teachers to support all areas of growth - not just cognitive but also social, emotional and physical.

Studying child development
helps teachers explain
individual variations in rate of
development of their students.
The study of child development
helps teachers understand how
children influence their
environment and in turn, how the
environment influences them.
Child development is a process of
change in which the child learns to
handle more complex levels of
moving, thinking, feeling and
interacting with people and objects
in the environment.
Developmental changes have
three characteristics:

1. Orderly - They occur in a


sequence.
2. Directional - It is cumulative.
Each change in a sequence builds
on the results of the preceding
changes.
3. Stable - Children’s behavior is
reasonable stable over time. It
implies that early behavior and
personal characteristics are good
predictors of later development.
Development is holistic.
It is often divided into four
categories that makes it easier to
observe and understand
children’s behavior.
All are interwoven in a child’s life and
develop simultaneously and synergistically.

Physical Dimension - the ability to move and coordinate


Intellectual/Cognitive Dimension - the ability to think and
learn
Social Dimension - the ability to relate to others
Emotional Dimension - the ability to develop a positive
concept of self and others
The Cephalocaudal principle – development starts from
the head down to the toes.
Ex. infant – face movements first, then learns to life himself
using their arms then learns how to crawl, walk or stand.

The Proximodistal principle – involves the belief that


development starts from the center of the body going outwards
The principle of maturation
Maturation – sequence of development involving biological
change

Highly influenced by the development in the nervous


system and primarily the brain

Developmental milestones cannot be attained until the


different parts of the body mature
 Development in the brain occurs from simple to more
complex tasks.

 Physical development starts from the development of


general skills before specific skills.

Ex. child will simply start to grasp toys using his


hands. Later on, he will be able to pick toys using his
fingers.
Every child is a unique person
with a unique temperament,
learning style, family background,
and pattern and timing growth.
While sequence is the same, the RATE of development
may varies from child to child. Rate and quality of
development is influenced by: physiological maturity,
heredity, environmental factors; together these factors
account for the tremendous range of variation in children’s
development
Children’s development is cumulative in nature and not necessarily
progressive.
 Early attention to child’s development =
less problems will be encountered in later development and learning
 There are limits to what can be achieved if intervention comes later
 Later
intervention must have to be intensive to have a positive
impact.
A child’s development
begins in the womb but
learning begins at birth.
Development and learning
occur as a result of the child
interacting with people and
objects in his or her
environment.
Children live within a context-
family, community, culture
and their needs are most
effectively addressed in
relation to that context.
The Early Years
The first eight years of a child’s life form the foundation for all
later development; early attention to the child’s needs is critical.

* In the early years, the child develops all the basic brain and
physiological structures upon which later growth and learning
are dependent.

* Early support  benefits of intervention are greater


The early years – from birth through age eight - are critical
because they are the formative years when growth and
development are the most rapid

* brain growth – unmatched by any other

developments that occur during the life

span; age 6 -70% of the adult brain weight


*Choose 3 principles and
explain how each principle can
be applied to their work with
children.
