this is what i had signed off not long ago -
1.2. Explain the difference between sequence of development and rate of development and why the difference is important.
Sequence of development is the order that a child develops but this can vary in each child. For example one child may start with rolling over then sit up, then crawl and then start walking but another child may just sit up, then crawl and then start walking.

The rate of development is the speed of which a child develops but this can also vary a great deal in each child. For example one child may start walking unaided before their first birthday but another child may not start walking unaided until after their first birthday.

Its important to know the difference between the sequence and rate of development as it helps to meet the children’s individual needs. It helps you recognise if any children have special educational needs and helps you plan to make sure they are getting the help and support they may need.
