3.5 Lead the implementation of a personalised programme of support for
children or young people
Personalised programs include the assessment approaches that meets the requirement of a
child at different-different life stages. For example – at infant stage, child needs to build
relationship with mother and other care takers. This would make them able to involve with
surrounding environment and regulate feelings of own as well. Similarly, it has believed like that
personality of a child developed in stages, where each stage consists a unique psychological
crisis (Massey-Chase and et. al., 2019). Therefore, if such crisis is met successfully with positive
manner, then it develops maturity in kids with age. For this purpose, care takers and parents are
needed to work in collaboration to be aware of needs of child at all particular stages. Along with
this, for implementing the support program for a young people, care takers also require to be
aware about sensitive needs as well as be positive towards them. Furthermore, practitioners also
need to be aware of some reasons which are involved behind the key development requirement
of each child. By understanding the same, including needs for a secure attachment of kids at their
early years, better programs can be developed.
By applying the cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), care practitioners can monitor the
learning abilities of child, including how they response towards a situation, way they make
interactions with others and more (Nicholls, Hastings and Grindle, 2019). This therapy considers
as the evidence-based mental health treatment therapy which is provided for growth and
development of a child. For example – if a child behaves abnormally or aggressively in certain
situations, then through CBT practice, the reason behind the same can be extracted. Health
practitioners can analyse if they are exposed to domestic violence or other activities that affect
their mental development. So, using CBT approaches, proper assessment programs can be
implemented that give support to them for improvement of life development. It includes
assessments like Early Childhood Programs, Pediatric Health Settings and more, which would
help in engaging child of age 1 to 4 mainly, in such activities that calm their behavior and help in
growing abilities and learning skills, which are helpful for proper mental and physical
development. For this purpose, taking support of healthcare agencies for conducting a survey on
child development to gather information about such children who are needed support for growth.
Running such survey in next six months and afterwards organizing programs accordingly, will
definitely aid in improving children growth. This approach can also be used for developing

short-term and long-term goals, where care takers organize such learning activities that help
child to grow their personalized skills as per goal (Stallard, 2019). In addition to this,
emphasizing on creation of holistic environment where children can learn how to play and its
value in their development, lead care practitioners to develop better personalized program for
them. This would increase effectiveness of assessment programs and help care providers in
giving better support to children, for personality development at each stages of life.
