0-18 Months
Social
Friendship will help the child to familiarise itself with the outside world learning to build trust. Supporting the child to socialise and make friends is very important. Being the parent or practitioner it is crucial that you encourage the child.
-
Contact with the wider community would help the child grow confidence and progress. Some mothers will go back into work, placing the child into private nursery, this can be very beneficial to the child as it will be mixing with its peers. Although John Bowlby (1907-1990) thought different, his theory came in not long after the war and he tried to keep the role of the women quite historic by making them feel guilty if they ever left the children. Secure attachment does not always require constant contact between mother and child.
Family, Primary socialisation is critical to a child's development and is very important. Giving the child unconditional love will ease the child to form a close attachment with other people from outside the family home. Being close to the child if your in the family home is pivotal, spending time such as going for a walk or having play time.
Extended Family play a vital role in a child's development ie grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins. If the parents go back to work the grand parents might play a role of looking after the child which will provide it with comfort and love
Emotional
A child's privacy is very critical. Keeping them safe from others and keeping there dignity especially if the child has extra support needs. A carer/practitioner could do this by taking the child into a different room to change them, also when checking the child for a soiled nappy they could take them into another room if possible withholding their privacy.
Praise, Praise can be a very effective to a child at the age 0-18 months, Children will go through a lot of milestones as they grow and grow and giving them plenty of praise will not only push them on it will only encourage them to push them selves on even more. Giving them praise will also give them plenty of self confidence as they get older which should strive them on through life.
Showing the child love and companionship can take the child a long way in life. The carer of the child could help the child by taking him/her to different types of groups allowing the child to make friends which gives them the closeness and familiarity around them. A carer can also spread that through love by doing many of things, such as when the baby/child is upset showing that unconditional love by going over and soothing the child, showing loyalty and care. Doing this will create a bond between them for life.
Comfort, during the development of the child between 0-18 months the child will go through a lot of different emotions. During the first few months, the child will only know its primary carers, for instance if they child is showing any discontent or showing any signs of displeasure such as crying, comforting the child with a cuddle and perhaps a lullaby will help soften the child's discomfort.
Physical
Safeguarding the child's medical needs is very vital and making sure they are met, being the parent making sure that you get your child to any appointments that are made through the health visitor , measuring their weight, height. Should you be in the practitioner shoes ensure that you always check with parents that if the child requires any medication then identifying that these needs are met.
Providing the child with enough water and allowing the to have plenty of it. This will help to ensure body is at the right temperature as the child may be a bit sweaty through a variety of physical activities. Children at the age of 0-18 months can intake milk though breastmilk, formula and other food sources.
Physical development can be met in a child through exercise/play these needs can be met through a variety of indoor and outdoor play which will stimulate the child. This will allow the child to make necessary connections which will help them to make sense of the world. It also grants the child to develop self confidence and social skills.
Having the right food can help increase physical development with parents and practitioners providing a nutritious diet such as vitamins, minerals ,carbohydrates, protein and fat. Also keeping sugars to a minimum
Cognitive
Conversation, having one to one conversation with the child speaking to it all the time, by being the adult you should encourage the child which will give them more confidence.
Access to activity will help the child's alertness, attention and consistency. Being the role of the adult you can provide activities such as painting which will involve learning colours as well.
A child's cognitive needs can be met through a variety of ways, having pretend play during the child's first 0-18 months will boost the child's imagination, an adult can play a good role in this by participating in games , talking in a sweetened voice also when reading a bed time story and using pictured books adding in a variety of different voices which will encourage it even more.
Putting the child through mental stimulation will encourage logical thinking as the child grows up. You could join in with the child through providing puzzles for each other to have a shot, showing them and gently putting them through the paces.
Language
Using single words will help the child to start putting together more complex sentences in the future, repeating words and describing objects to a child will help build the bridge between single words and sentence. In 1994 channel 4 provided a documentary of six episodes representing children's development from birth to 3. The felt it brought ''an excellent summary of language acquisition.''
They feel that from around 3 and a half months the child begins to babble. They suggest that babbling is not learned it is actually pre programmed in our nature no matter where they are from or what nationality they are. Moderately babbling becomes more organised then which the parent/practitioner has a role to interprat these sounds and reinforce them into proper words.
Music is a very good contributor to a child gaining language knowledge. Colwyn Trevarthens (born 1931) work shows that babys are sensitive to their mothers voice and are ready to be involved in communication from around 6 weeks old. Trevarthen and colleagues stressed the effect of musical activities with young children through their mothers singing, also could be through nursery songs sung by the parents or practitioner.
Pre-linguistic is an important stage that lets the child learn the sound of the speech. Colwyn Trevarthen (born 1931) a more traditional theorist studied children between the age of 0-6 months and found 3 forms of early communication, facial expressions, vocalisations and gestures.Trevarthen also proposed infant -directed speech formerly known as motherese or parentese. He proposes that the adult uses a warm affectionate tone ,speaks more slowely and uses a lot of repetition. Babys at around 2 months can often learn rules of language as well such as turn taking - you talk I listen I talk you listen. which therefore shows how aware a baby is at that age.
