Unit 035

[jessica]

Hi all, has anybody done or doing Unit 035: Understand the Speech, Language and Communication Needs of Children and Young People with Behavioural, Social and Emotional Difficulties?

My tutor picked this unit for me and I am really finding it hard to answer the knowledge questions. On top of that this unit isn't even in the Children and Young People's Workforce Book !!!!!

Does anybody know any websites that could help me please?

Hi there
Ive just taken some of the info from my workforce book

Emotional - being able to control your own emotions is a major part of emotional development. Babies and toddlers struggle with this, but as language develops they find it easier because they can express their needs. Tantrums and other outbursts linked to frustration, jealousy or anger tend to diminish as children find ways of talking through how they feel. this is one reason why its good practice to name emotions when working with young children so that they begin to understand what they are feeling and have ways of expressing it other than through physical reactions alone.

Behaviour
being able to manage your own behaviour is about self control. young children are very impulsive and find it hard to control their behaviour but, once language is mastered childrens behaviour changes. the acquisition of language helps children to think things over. they focus more on the consequences of their actions and they also internally begin to remind themselves of what they need to do or what they should not do. the start of this process can be observed when a toddler goes up to something that they have been told not to touch points to it and says no.

Social
Emotional development is linked to being able to control your own emotions and social development builds on this, as its about being able to recognise emotion in others and learning to adjust your behaviour accordingly. understanding what the social codes are in any situation and behaving appropriately, this means that good communication and language skills are important. Children need to read the faces and body language of others and respond appropriately. play is the main medium of socialisation with other children, language skills also become important from around the age of 3 yrs, children tend to use speech to talk about what they are doing or, as they get older explain the rules of any games.

Where children have difficulties there are likely to be many effects on their development although the extent to which children are affected will very much depend on the nature of their difficulty, its severity and how the child is suported.
Short term effects on development:
Frustration
Anger
Withdrawal
low levels of confidence
difficulties in making friends
difficulties in learning new info
difficulties in applying information to new situations
find it hard to make themselves understood

good luck x
