The age group I have selected to describe the physical and intellectual and learning development is 3 to 7 years.

Physical Development

 The physical development stages expected for 3 to 7 years At 3 to 4 years they can steer and pedal a tricycle. At 4 to 5 years they can skip with a rope, can throw and catch a large ball. By 7 years they can balance on a beam and hop on one foot these are the gross motor skills which are skills involving movements of children between 3-7 years old, which can take quite a lot of co-ordination. Fine motor skills can be things such as turning a page in book one by one, cuts out simple shapes, colours pictures in and is able to join handwriting these are all skills that involve small movements involving the whole hand and wrist such as unscrewing a jar or writing, drawing and making a jigsaw also known as fine manipulative skills.

Intellectual Development

Intellectual development it could be naming three shapes, knowing the primary colours, naming five textures, counts by rote up to 20, prints own name, arranges objects in order of size, tells month and day of birthday these are a few stages and areas of learning concepts from children aged to 3-7 years.

Physical development

Another age group I have selected is birth to 3 years to describe is the physical development as it’s important that the children master the control of their body. These are the crucial times to watch your child to develop as physically the fine gross motor skills as at 3 months they are able to lift head and chest up or even involve holding a rattle for a moment,. By 6 months they can roll over from back to front or they are able to reach for a toy. By 9 months can sit unsupported and start to deliberately dropping objects. 12 months may stand alone briefly or can start pointing to objects with index finger. 18 months can walk unaided and can scribble. At 2 and 2 and half years they can run and can draw circles and dots or even do a simple jigsaw puzzle. By 3 years they are able to kick a large ball and can throw a large ball and can even start to hold a crayon and draw a face these are the development stages from birth to a 3 year old which can develop stages of development for a child from birth to 3 years old fine motor skills and gross motor skills.

Intellectual Development

 Intellectual development is important as it is a process of thinking and organising information and the way that children from birth to 3 year olds could be placing an object in container when asked, points to part of the body, stacks beakers in order, matches three colours and completes a 3 piece puzzle these are the stages of development for a child from birth to 3 years old.
