Social , emotional and behavioural development
0-3 years A typical baby and 1 year are happiest with their parents they will be shy around people they done know even outgoing and confident children will look for reassurance as they approach their 2 nd birthday they will start to show interest in other children .many children around this time struggle with teething and this can lead to lack of sleep and problems feed as the child has a sore mouth . At this time a child needs lots of love and affection to make them feel happy and secure they will have formed strong attachments to family and trusted child carer despite this they might suffer from separation anxiety .this usually peaks about 18 months and beyond so give lots of love and affection.by 2 lack of sleep might be the cause of the terrible 2 so making sure they get plenty of sleep and start putting in boundaries by this age children will become more interested in playing with other children and start developing socializing skills at first they might only play along side the other children but they will start to copy and will need to be shown how to share and take turns. At this age they will have a roller coaster of emotions so prepare for dramatic mood swings as they learn how to control their feelings when they can explain how they feel and what they want the temper tantrums will stop.As children struggle to become more independent they may desire to escape this is dangerous and must be stopped safely .As the children’s imaginations grows it will change the way they play.they will now want to play imaginative games even sometimes with imaginative friends .
3-7 years children are still developing their identities and are starting to play with their peers and socializing using imaginative play this helps them to develop their concept of different roles in their lives. It is important that they understand the importance of boundaries and why they are necessary they respond will to being given responsibility and need adult approval .At the ages of 4 and 5 bed wetting is very common and should be treated with love and affection no shouting .When children start school they will build relationships away from home they are likely to have special friends children are learning how to be a good friend at this stage of development they have learnt to share and respect others feelings but sometimes this is forgotten. At the age og 4 children can start to know about other peoples feelings and develop a stronger sense of self and will want more private time.At the age of 5 bullying is common so any changes in children’s behaviour should be taken seriously they might not be able to explain what is happening to them. Children of this age will spend lots of time playing with their friends but will get upset if they don’t win the game .As children become use to school life their might be some changes in their behaviour they might not understand the difference of asking for sometime rather than just taking it. They might show their frustration by hitting or kicking out this should change as they become use to being a group By the age of 7 children face the pressure of exams this causes some children to have anxiety.By the age of 6 friendships are very important to children girls and boys prefer same sexed friends it is very important for a child to feel they belong. Around the age of 6 children start to argue with you by 7 the children will want to start bathing on their own and having privacy.
7-16 years children’s friendships become more settled and they have a group of friends they need to have the chance to solve problems and carry out activities that require more independence they continue to need praise and encouragement and are increasingly aware of what others think of them. Many children start to clash with adults as they approach their teens this is just a way of they expressing their independence and individuality .Most teenagers want to spend time with their friends socializing and fitting in with their group and having that sense of belonging .By the age of 10 children start to show interest in the opposite *** having boyfriends as well as girlfriends sometimes they have the same *** crush . Until 13 or 14 most have the same sexed friends but will mix with mixed larger groups so spending time with opposite sexed friends which might blossom into boyfriends or girlfriends and become more serious relationships


Hope this helps T
