Thank you. Had a look and got some ideas. Is this ok do you think?
An example from my setting would be that a few children have developed stutters in the past, mainly due to changes at home (i.e. a new baby). However, the cause is unknown for the 2 year old who is suffering with it at present. The error in their communication chain lead to a difficulty in communicating with their peers and the adults around them, causing frustration. In some of these children it has knocked their confidence and self-esteem, especially when there are certain individuals who repeat the stammer in a nasty way, after the struggling child has managed to get out their sentence! This meant that the children were less sociable than usual and became a little more introvert.
Some other example might be:
• Diet:
Children’s growth, behaviour and development can be affected by their diet. A balanced diet will help children to remain healthy as well as to grow.
Children who are overweight are more likely to be prone to ill health and may not develop strength in their bodies or high levels of physical skill. They may find physical activities a struggle, which could possibly lead to bullying. This would then cause low self-esteem and a lack of confidence
Some children lack sufficient nutrients in their diet. This can also affect their concentration and behaviour.
• Discrimination:
Some children and their families face discrimination and the affects of discrimination are difficult to measure, but statistically certain groups of children are likely to fare less well than others. Children may be discriminated against on the grounds of their ethnic backgrounds, religion, and disability for example. If a child is made to feel unworthy, this may lead to them not wanting to join in activities, causing a decline in their learning and development. Children may keep themselves to themselves, not wanting to socialise and learn those all important people stills. If children are not interacting with others, it could also have an effect on their communication skills.
• Opportunities for play, stimulation and exercise:
Play is fundamental to children’s health, growth, development and overall well-being. Children’s brains are stimulated when they play, especially when they have varied and interesting opportunities. Stimulation of the brain is vital for its growth.
The outdoor environment gives children better opportunities to use their gross and locomotive skills, and also gives plenty of stimulation, as the outdoor world is inherently sensory. Children who are deprived of play, stimulation and exercise are likely to have delayed development. If a child does not have a garden or access to a local park (because of location or parent disability for example) they may not have the experience of using gross motor skills using bikes, slides climbing frames scooters etc, so will find it difficult in a setting.

NVQ 303 please - K3D209 The influences on how children develop and what these might mean
with this unit. Really struggling to get this finished. Have already gone past my deadline so any help with writing a short snappy paragraph or something on this one would be great. I have no idea what to put, I've just gone blank 
. Thanks.
