CYPOP 1 2. Explain how and why variations occur in the rate and sequence of development
 

Hi Everyone

I was just wondering if someone could tell me if I was on the right track with my thinking.

I was going to put the following which I will just bullet point and then elaborate on when I type the actual assignment out.

Disabilities
Experiences
Environmental / External influences
Health issues
Cultural
Parental influences
Genetics

Level 3 handbook is good but grateful for any ideas

Thanks Love ChocolateLove ChocolateLove ChocolateLove Chocolate

Did you ever get any help with thi?? Am stuck on this question at the moment, so would appreciate any help with it.

This is what I put:-
Causes of variations in rate and sequence of learning and development include:
• Disabilities -
• Experiences -
• Environmental - all children need stimulation and nurturing for healthy development.
• Health issues - a child with Asthma can not join in all sports and physical activities which can delay their physical development
• Cultural - some families do not give girls and boys equal opportunities, or the girl is expected to be at home
• Parental influences – the attitude of the parents will play a huge part in the development of a child. Overprotective parents may raise fearful children who are unwilling to take risks. Neglectful parents may raise children who have low self esteem and who perform badly in all tasks. A child who has not been given enriching experiences and is ignored may be socially, emotionally and cognitively impaired.
• Genetics – a child may be genetically disposed to be slow to learn in some areas of development, but they may excel in others
