One of the most significant influences on development is health. Good health means improved quality of life and the opportunity to achieve development potential. Ill health may impact on physical, social, emotional and intellectual development. In children, ill health may affect the growth of the brain, bones, muscles and organs, particularly if the illness leads to malnutrition. This could also contribute to poor motor development, impaired learning and delayed sexual development. Continued ill health may also affect social development. i.e interacting with others – learning new skills, knowledge, behaviour, poor motor skills (lack of acceptance into social group). Different types of development are therefore interrelated and do not occur in isolation. Growth and development of the brain (physical development) leads to changes in mental abilities (intellectual development) like reasoning, memory and language skills. These abilities allow the child to make better personal and social adjustment.(social development)Speech means a child can explain and satisfy its wants (emotional development) This also has a direct impact on academic achievement (intellectual development).

Description and Message:

I would really appreciate any feedback or assistance thank you

I had to do a question similar to this, this was my response I haven't got my marks back so Im not completely sure but happy to share my ideas and response

There is a strong link between the physical, social-emotional and Cognitive developmental areas, they are presented as separate areas but together they make up the skills, knowledge and experiences appropriate for babies and children as they grow, learn and develop.

Throughout child hood physical development starts with learning to crawl, walk, and use the hands and feet efficiently as they do this the child acquires various skills such as - Motor Skills Which require co-ordination between brain and muscles. Gross Motor skills Use the large muscles of the arms, legs, hips and back. Fine Motor skills involve the co-ordination of the smaller muscles of the hands and fingers for pointing, drawing, doing up buttons, writing etc.

Social-emotional development provides the foundation for how we feel about ourselves and how we experience others.

Cognitive development refers to growth in a range of thinking and learning skills, including language, attention, planning, problem-solving and memory.

Physical development influences both cognitive development and social-emotional development. Cognitive development is influenced by physical development because the brain and motor skills naturally affect the development of thought patterns.
Social-emotional development is also impacted by physical development. Physical development and pay supports emotional development by providing a way to express and cope with feelings.
Cognitive development affects social-emotional development because the ability to think and reason will affect a person's ability to understand feelings and emotions. It will also impact a human's ability to understand themselves and others.

so first I explained what each developmental area was then at the bottom I put how they link to one another.

Thanks very much for your help zoee
