3CHILD DEVELOPMENT
There is a significant amount of change across all domains of development starting
from child birth to 5-year of age. When babies are born, they are seemingly helpless however,
as the babies enter the world, they gradually develop abilities and responses. These pave the
way towards the foundation of their future abilities and skills set (Shonkoff et al. 2012). The
following report aims to highlight the approaches that are beneficial for children development
starting from birth to 5 years.
A. Cognitive Development
The babies are born with cognitive skills that enable them to recognise and respond to
their care givers and development of these skills will help in the further cognitive
development of the child.
Activity 1
Name of the activity: Identification of alphabet and numerals. Practise of the alphabet
and numerals via singing the alphabet rhyme or showing them colourful plastic
alphabets/numerals and assisting them to identify the same (Bjorklund and Causey 2017
Age of activity: 1 to 2 years
Equipment needed: Colourful plastic alphabets (A to Z) and colourful numerals (0 to
9)
Number of children can be involved: 3 to 5 in one room (increase in the number of
children will increase chaos)
How it supports development: This activity help the children in cognitive skill
building like pre-reading, language, numeracy and vocabulary. Moreover, the interactive
approach taken while executing these activities will help the brain of the child to acquire
significant information about the language and noise. This is extremely beneficial because
