CHCECE010 - Influencing Our Expectations On Children's Behaviour

[Selina1996]

just wondering if I'm on the right track....?

Q-Explain how a child's age and stage of social development will influence our expectations of their behaviour, you may choose to provide examples.

My Answer-
as a child develops, their social development is majorly influenced but their relationships with other children and adults.
The establishment of realtionships with other is necessary to understand appropriate actions to the level of their understanding.
For example:
Infants accomplish this partly by being small(highly dependant),fascinating to watch, and by developing a set of “social skills’ including making eye contact, smiling, and relaxing the body when held.
Toddlers begin to take an interest in being around other children, but they still aren’t very good at sharing toys or taking turns.Toddlers however are increasingly aware of other peoples feelings,toddlers can be very bossy or possessive.
As children enter the preschool years, they develop relationships with adults and children that are similar to the relationships they’ll have throughout childhood.preschoolers are better at sharing and turn taking than toddlers.

Yes, you're on the right track with your response!

How a child develops socially will also impact their behaviour and our expectations regarding their behaviour. So, for a toddler who is very possessive and bossy, they could have trouble sharing, for a preschooler who has developed relationships they could develop friendships and learn to be friends with each other...

Hope this helps!
