The sequence of development for a child or young person can be categorised into the following key areas:
• Physical
• Social and Emotional
• Intellectual
• Language
In the key areas, there are different stages of development known as milestones which is the typical age a child or young person would meet these development milestones. These however can vary, especially if the child has a learning difficulty, disability or health problem. The sequence of development is usually the same as one area must develop first before another area, for example a child will learn to walk before they learn to run.
The stages of development are categorised into the following age groups:
• 0-3 years
• 3-7 years
• 7-12 years
• 12-19 years

Physical development between the ages of 0-3 years is usually the most rapid and diverse with some areas of development occurring within weeks of them being born. By the age of 6 months a child’s physical development will include:

By 3 years’ typical physical development progresses to the child being able to kneel on the floor when playing, throw and kick a ball, build a larger brick tower and use a pencil to make more controlled scribbles.
Between the ages of 3 – 7 years’ physical development is still significant. As mention before, the rate of development can vary from child to child put the sequence usually follows the same pattern. A child will only progress into this next expected age group once they have achieved the previous milestones, for example a child won’t be able to hop until they have learnt to
