Physical changes 4-6
between 4-6 are less dramatic than the 1st year of life but still impressive
Motor Development
What are the main two? and what age frames for each?
Gross Motor and Fine Motor
The age frames are
3-4
4-5
5-6
Gross Motor
3-4:
Gross Motor 3-4
-walks up stairs one foot per step
-walking in any direction pulling a large toy
-walks on tip toes
-jumps
-skips with two feet
-pedels and steers
(walking up stairs one foot per step while, then when they are half way up there pull large teddy bear with string on tippy toes for calf exercise, jumps then find skipping rope at top step (skips with two feet)
Gross Motor
4-5:
Gross Motor
4-5:
-walks up and DOWN stairs one foot per step
-STANDS, RUNS and walks on tiptoes
(after done skipping with two feet mom says I made hot dogs and kid goes down the stairs one foot for step while standing and once at the bottom of the stairs he starts to run)
Gross Motor
5-6:
-skips on ALTERNATIVE feet
-walks on a line
-slides, swings
(after dinner he then goes to the park, he meets a friend and learns how to skip on alternative feet but first needs to walks on a straight line to prepare its balance , goes down the slide, then goes to the swings)
Fine Motor
3-4
-catches large ball between outstretched arms
-cuts paper with scissors
-holds pencil between thumb and fingers
(medicine ball thrown at baby catches it then pokes it with scissors, instead of pencil because just staring to larn how to hold pencil)
Fine Motor
4-5
-strikes ball with bat
-catches and kickes ball (both make same sound c and k)
-threads beads on a string
-grasp pencil properly
(go out for recess play baseball (batter and outfield) wants to play soccer instead..recess done makes beaded bracelet then math time)
Fine Motor
5-6:
-plays ball games well
-threads needle and sews large stitches
(think of nitting ball ,uses needle to sow large stitches)
Preschoolers make _____ progress in children motor development-most impressive gains are in large ____skills
Preschoolers make STEADY progress in children motor development-most impressive gains are in large MUSCLE skills
What are the six stages of Fine Motor and the corresponding ages?
(1) Scribbling stage - 2 years
(2)The preschematic stage- 3,4 years
(3)The schematic stage- 6 years
(4)The gang stage: The drawing realism- 8,10 years
(5)The pseudo-naturalist stage- 12 years
(6) The period of decision 14,16 years
Six stages of Fine Motor:
(1) Scribbling stage - 2 years
-first disorganized scribbles and enjoyable record of kinesthetic activity
-not attempts at portraying the physical world
-after 6 months scribble marks become more ordered as children are ENGROSSED
-soon are able to name scribbles, as important milestones in development
Six stages of Fine Motor:
(2) The preschematic stage - 3,4 years
3:
-conscious creation of form + provides a tangible record for the child’s thinking process (attempt to draw person arms and legs
-later other forms develop, clearly recognizable, often complex
-look for new concepts so symbols constantly change
Six stages of Fine Motor:
(3) The schematic stage - 6 years
-schema= definite way of portraying an object, modified when portraying something important
-schema=represents the child’s active knowledge of a subject
-definite order in space relationships=everything sits on the base line
Six stages of Fine Motor:
(4)The gang stage: The dawning realism 8-10 years
-schematic generalization no longer suffices to express reality
-drawing expressed in more detail for individual parts but FAR FROM NATURALISM in drawing
-space discover/depicted for OVERLAPPING objects in drawing
-COMPARE work and become more critical of it
-more independent of adults, more Anxious to conform to their peers
Six stages of Fine Motor:
(5) The Pseudo- naturalistic stage- 12 years
-end of art as spontaneous activity as children are increasingly critical or their own drawings
-focus on end product (form adult like drawings)
-light+shadows, folds+ motions are observed with mixed success, translated to paper
-space as 3D by diminishing the size of the objects are further away
Six stages of Fine Motor:
(6) The period of decesion 14, 16 years
-art at this stage is something to be done or left alone
-Natural development will cease unless a conscious decision is made to improve drawing skills
-students critically aware of the immaturity of their drawing and easily discouraged
-Lowenfeld’s solution is to enlarge their concept of adult art to include non-representational art and art occupations besides painting (architecture,interior design, hand crafts etc.)
Fine motor at
3 years
From Scribbling to drawing and realizing that art can stand for something
-tangible effort of the thinking process (i.e head and legs)
Fine motor at
4-5 years
telling stories and working out problems through art
-details are added and new concepts are integrated
Fine motor at
6 years
set of symbols are developed (sun is a circle with lines that is yellow)
-schemes that represent objects -that are modified with the additional of info
-realizing that there is a definite order in space (everything that sits on the line)
Brain and Nervous system
L
M
H
Lateralization
Myelinization
Handedness
Brain and Nervous system
Lateralization
-brain functions are divided
between two hemispheres
-L- language, logic, math
and analysis
-R- intuition, creativity,
art/music, spatial
Brain and Nervous system
Myelinization
of the reticular formation the brain structure that
regulates attention and
concentration
Brain and Nervous system
Handedness
preference for one hand
over another appears
between 2 and 6 years of
age
Prevention of aces
-ece
-early childhood education
-govud
Ted talk
-first 5 years are important for brains, learning happens before baby born
-connect, talk, play, health, home community=serve and return
-copy cat games= build imagination and empathy
-naming games=vocab and attention
-peekaboo= memory and trust
-laughing=builds mental health
-connection =happy/ confidence, try new things/explore
- when you take away the connections they are sad/confusion/stress
-INtervene early family connectiona nd community and build childs robust, need more things in bucket to be positvie, aces will be taking things out of buck, reduce stress, proper cooping skills, positive role models=idea of engagement is very important
-cant reverse damage to be done, improving coping mechanisms
Early childhood education cant prevent aces because it is events that happen in childhood, how can they mitigate though?
-intervene early through family connections adn community builds child’s robust
-need to ensure they develop proper cooping skills and engagement is very important
-can’t reverse damage that has already been done but can improve cooping mechanisms
Cognitive development in Preschool years
What is social dramatic play?
children begin to play parts or take roles
- playing house (create imaginary companions)
Cognitive development in Preschool years
What is rule- governed play?
by 5-6 years children begin to prefer rule governed pretending and formal games (whoever is the smallest has to be the baby, red rover, red light, green light)
Pre-operation stage
children become more proficient in the use of symbols in thinking and communicating but still have difficulty thinking logically
