The key areas of learning and development in relation to Early Year Foundation Stage (EYFS) are as follows:
The areas of learning are divided into prime and specific areas of learning. The division is made because the prime areas indicate the kills to be learned that are fundamental need for the children to grow knowledge in working together and move through supportive action. However, the specific area of learning indicates the essential skills along with knowledge to be learned in successfully living within the society (foundationyears.org.uk, 2017). Thus, the division in the area of learning allows the child to understand which skill are fundamental and which are societal need that they are to learn to become a proper individual.
You need to provided 3 or 4 examples of external and 3 or 4 examples of personal factors, explain how they impact on development.
The personal factors that impact child development are:
The external factors that influence child develop are:
You need to explain the difference between sequence and rate of development and give examples of how the rate can vary.
The sequence of development is normal sequential growth over the year where children learn different skill and knowledge whereas the rate of development is the speed with which child is developing or growing (Talbott et al., 2020). For example, sequence of development in case of child is that at first learn to roll followed by crawling, then sitting and standing with support to finally orient in learning to walk gradually. However, the rate of development, in this case, is the time taken in completing the walking development by the child which varies from person to person that is one child can start walking by 1.5 years of age another may take 2 years to finally start walking efficiently without support.
Please complete the chart below, the first one has been done for you. All ages need to be covered.
The EYFS principle mentions that each child is unique in their own way and try to be resilient, confident, capable and self-assured through positive relationship. The positive relationship leads the children to express themselves without fear and develop queries to be resolved effectively which make them independent and strong. The presence of enabling environment influence children learning and development by making them develop effective experiences through observation and interaction with practitioners and carers regarding specific needs (foundationyears.org.uk, 2017).
The Blowby’s theory mentioned that children are biologically-programmed with the tendency of seeking and remaining close to their attachment figures. The child wishes to remain close to the attachment figures as it makes them feel protected from the dangers in the environment. Thus, enabling environment where children can make effective attachment with their loved ones influences them to learn more effectively out of lack of fear and confusion raised due to dangers of the world which creates barriers towards their effective education (Granqvist, 2021).
The presence of good emotional security benefits the child to feel safe and secured to learn and develop accordingly. Moreover, it benefits them to develop enhanced confidence in exploring wider environment and ease in overcoming challenges on the world (Sela et al., 2019). The emotional security to children as home childcarer is to be established by showing empathy and understanding of the feelings of the child without any judgement from their perspective (Sela et al., 2019).
The sense of enhanced self-esteem and well-being can be developed for the child for supporting their growth by forming warm and loving relationship with them as it makes the children feel worthy of themselves and being valued that are the basis for development of their self-esteem and well-being (Mansfield et al., 2018). The children are to be supported in developing traits by explaining to them regarding the meaning of different traits, way and where they are to be implemented, way they can be evaluated to be positive or negative. Moreover, the use of drama, storytelling, fables and task card could be used in education children regarding the way to develop various traits (Putri et al., 2017).
A quality learning environment looks like presence of safe platform for the learners to be used where they are welcomed, supported and respect for any of the choices made by them. Moreover, presence of delivering education by following effective policies and legislation set by the government along with code of conducts by the educators been effectively performed led to development of good learning environment for learners (Syrjämäki et al., 2017). For example, positive learning environment as a child carer can be set by me by creating a learning environment for the children where they are not judged for their choice and they are made to feel safe to progress to any form of learning.
The presence of quality learning environment impacts the children to show enhanced attention, lower anxiety and supports showing improved emotions and behaviour in the environment. Moreover, it fosters an enhanced learning culture where learners develop high motivation and encouragement to learn and meet learning outcome with excellence (Junge et al., 2021).

The strategies according to EYFS in managing children behaviour are as follows:
The childcare providers are to create enhanced ground rules to be appropriately followed by the child in managing positive behaviour as the rules guide the child regarding the do’s and don’ts of behaviour to be followed in the society (foundationyears.org.uk, 2017). The care providers are to avoid providing the threat of corporal punishment to the children as it hinders their well-being out of fear and insecurity created by the threat and often instigate them to continue the behaviour. Instead, the care providers are required to take reasonable steps to guide the child regarding the way they are to avoid making any offensive behaviour because it makes the child to understand the reason of changing their behaviour through positive action (foundationyears.org.uk, 2017).
In the early childhood stage, the children show increased behaviour of developing attachment with their loved ones so that they can feel safe and secured. In order to support development of this behaviour at the childhood stage, as a carer I need to be open and show concern along with love and care toward the children so that they understand the positive traits to be considered in developing attachment behaviour (Ogundele, 2018). In the middle childhood stage, one of the behaviours showed by children is increased understand of concepts and facts regarding time and money. The strategy to support development of this behaviour is informing the children regarding the way they can earn money and value its presence (Howard et al., 2017).
The consistency and reinforcement of boundaries for the children are to be developed by focussing of their behavioural priority and negative behaviour developed by them. A tangible reminder and assistance are to be reinforced to make children understand way to make their positive behaviour consistent (Barnett and Ackerman, 2020).
A well-developed plan is to be made that supports development of positive behaviour in children and it is to be followed in teaching them expected positive behaviour to be learned and practiced. Moreover, monitoring of the children is to be executed regarding the showcasing of their behaviour to understand where they are making mistakes that are to be resolved in time to make them develop and continue positive behaviour (Roche, 2018).
The challenging behaviour in children are to be managed by initially communicating with the children to understand the factors which are leading to such behaviour so that those can be controlled to support them develop positive behaviour. Moreover, mental health professionals and behaviour management specialist are to be involved in supporting effective management of challenging behaviour of children. Moreover, the parents and families of the children showing challenging behaviour are to be involved by the learners to determine factors that are leading to the situation so that together they can control the factors to support enhanced behaviour management in children (Shih et al., 2018).
