  3. Main areas of development • Physical development allows children to have the abilities to they need to explore and learn. This allows them to interact with the world around them. • Cognitive development (Jean Piaget) has four main stages in which it effects the child. • Social is learning to relate to others. • Emotional allows expressing feelings for others, oneself and other items.

  4. Holistic approach in child care Holistic approach considers the child’s needs as a whole including: physical, mental, socio-emotional and spiritual. In order to do this we need to understand the children and address their issues within the family, the culture and community.

  5. Pattern of development • Patterns of development suggest chronological age related pattern order, however this is not always the case as children can individually develop at different rates. The development patterns include: • Physical • Reflexes • Motor sequences • Vision • Hearing • Perception • Cognitive development • Sensorimotor stage • Object permanence • Emotional and socio-emotional development • Temperament • Attachment • Separation anxiety
