then I have to right a few paragraphs to explain the difference between the sequence of development and the rate of development and why the difference is so important to observing and assessing children's development

Hi, a very warm welcome to the site. This criteria involves more research and study than can be put in a single reply xx

How often are you able to attend tutor group meetings or lectures for your level 3 and what handbook has your course provider recommended?

My experience of the course so far has been that you are simply expected to regurgitate the corresponding paragraphs from the textbook in your own words. Are you on the work based level-3?

maybe you should rethink and do the level 2 first? it is the best way to learn

Thank you for everyone reply. I'm working in a setting doing 42 hours a week, which I have worked at for 5 years. So they put me straight into level 3 . I have to my key children paper work too and my assessor only comes see me every 4-5weeks. I'm not very intellectual and both are doing practical work. So just finding it really hard. The hand book on which they gave me is called a epp I think, but a friend gave me her old textbooks too.

Hi, you can research the brain development of a baby in your handbook, from there you can write a summary of what you learnt.

Page 23 and 24 of the EYE handbook explains how the brain grows and how it is thought that most of the brain cells are formed before birth (pre-natal) but that the connections among those cells are made during infancy and early childhood (post-natal)

Use the index in the textbook you say you have and see if brain development is listed.

You'll need to reference where your information is from so reliable, good sources are needed.
