CHILD DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT
Compare the physical assessments among school-aged children. Describe how you would
even be modified to fit the age of the patient. For instance, it may require that a care provider reads
out the standardized tests for a five-year-old and fill in the answers for them while, on the other
hand, a 5-year-old patient will read and fill in the answers for themselves. This is because the
children at this age can read and understand.
Choose a child between the ages of 5 and 12 years old. Identify the age of the child and
describe the typical developmental stages of children that age. Applying developmental
theory based on Erickson, Piaget, or Kohlberg, explain how you would developmentally
assess the child. Include how you would offer explanations during the assessment, strategies
you would use to gain cooperation, and potential findings from the assessment.
Julie Campbell is aged 11 years. She was born at 39 weeks with 2600grams through
spontaneous vaginal delivery. She was then put in the newborn unit for two weeks because she
was diagnosed with Asphyxia. Asphyxia is a condition that results in a lack of oxygen and blood
flow to the brain o the child before, during, or immediately after birth. The cells of the infant born
with this condition do not function normally.
When Julie was leaving the newborn unit, she had already gained 300grams. She was
exclusively breastfed for the first six months and her mother gradually weaned her with diverse
soft foods. When she was four months, she would roll over, and at six months, she would sit. At
the age of 8 months, she was hospitalized. This hospitalization delayed her growth milestone. This
made her start crawling at the age of 14 months and walked on her own when she was 18 months

modify assessment techniques to match the age and developmental stage of the child.
Child development assessment involves obtaining primary data about the growth and
development of a child and ascertaining if the child is meeting the typical development milestone
(Aparecida Munhoz Gaíva et al., 2018). This process consists of collecting data such as language
progress, cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and learning approaches to get a clear picture of
how the child is fairing in all these areas. This assessment is also critical in helping identify
children who have special needs and may be requiring extra support from the parents, teachers,
and the healthcare providers. Upon this examination, one can identify the various needs of a child
and what interventions are necessary for supporting this child. An assessor can develop an
individualized strategy for a child. This process requires that the parent of the child is fully
involved during the entire process to help in developing a common ground for providing care
support to the child.
The needs of individuals will vary with their age. The data that is obtained is, therefore,
different at different ages of a person. The care provider will depend on the information provided
by the parent or the caregiver of a child who is at an age five years of age, unlike in the case of a
12-year-old child who can be capable of expressing themselves. One of the very crucial methods
in this child assessment is observation. This is where the healthcare care provider or the assessor
interacts with the child drawing conclusions depending on how the child behaves.
Another critical aspect of considering is parent rating and care provide a score,
standardized tests, and portfolios, which can best be applied for different ages. The techniques may
old. At the age of 2 years, she was able to utter a complete sentence. Her mother says that she is
always jovial and relates well with people.
Erickson’s developmental theory is one of the most used theories. According to Erik
Erikson, human development can be classified into eight stages (Syed, & McLean, 2017). As a
person passes through the eight developmental stages, there are various crises that; when we learn
how to resolve these crises, we develop psychological strength that helps us become strong. The
first stage is the Trust Vs. mistrust. This stage is between the ages of 12moths to 18 months where
a child is solely dependent on the mother.
The second stage is Autonomy VS. Shame and doubt that is between the ages of 18 months
to 3 years. In this stage, the toddlers start to gain independence and can do something by
themselves. “The third stage is the initiative Vs. Guilt between the ages of 3 to five years where
the child starts to interact socially and play with others where they learn to take the initiative and
control what happens around them” (Syed, & McLean, 2017). The fourth stage is the industry VS.
Inferiority that ranges between the ages of 5 to 12 years. Children at this stage learn new skills,
and their circle of influence starts to widen. The fifth stage is the identity VS. Confusion that ranges
between the ages of 12 to eighteen years, and stage six is intimacy VS. Isolation that is between
18 years and 40 years, stage seven is generality VS. Stagnation that is between 40 and 65 years.
The last stage is integrity vs. despair that is above 65 years.
According to this theory, this child is in the industry vs. inferiority stage. This is a stage
that carries children aged 5 to 12 years. Through social interactions, children begin developing a
sense of pride in their accomplishments and abilities (Aparecida Munhoz Gaíva et al., 2018). In
this category, competency is the primary virtue. The children will begin to compare themselves
with the others. If the children feel that they are doing well in various fields, they start to develop
a feeling of pride and accomplishment. They will also start to compare their families with other
families. During the assessment, it is very important that the assessor looks at the areas that the
child is good at. They may not be good at mathematics but may be good at drawing, writing, and
speaking. The child at this stage, therefore, should be assessed about her ability of reading and
writing. At this age, she is expected to have cognitive skills such as doing simple sums.
At the age of eleven, the children start seeing themselves as almost teenagers acting more
maturely while others will remain more child-like both physically and emotionally. The child at
this age should have started experiencing growth spurts. Girls especially grow faster than boys at

the same age. The critical milestone at this age is demonstrating speed, agility, and balance. The
child should also have evident signs of puberty, such as having oily skin, increased sweating, and
hair growth around the genitals and under the armpits. The child should also have increased muscle
coordination.
Emotionally, the child at this age has a better sense of how they are in the world, and they
may also be ready to navigate a new social setting (Branje, & Koper, 2018). Since the girls develop
faster than the boys, the transition into adolescence may trigger various emotions such as
uncertainty, trepidation, and embarrassment. However, the child at this age has more control of
emotions and may be able to associate well with friends. However, the child at this stage may show
an increase in mood swings as they try to deal with the changes they are experiencing in their
lives.
At her age, one major accomplishment of the child at this stage is the development of
speech and language. Their reading at this stage moves towards reading and enjoying more
complex and lengthier chapter books. Therefore, it is essential to assess the child about what they
enjoy reading, what book they are reading now, and other related issues. Through reading, the
children at this stage may have developed concepts such as similes, metaphors, and other
vocabularies. They are at this age able to analyze a story and offer criticism. Their ability to think
logically is more pronounced at this stage. The child at this stage, therefore, has more enhanced
communication skills. As the child continues to develop, it is critical to nurturing their
communication skills so that they can confidently and clearly express themselves in all aspects
and areas of their life. A child’s communication will also help in the development of social skills
and interpersonal skills. This will make children feel at a greater comfort in social situations since
it becomes easier to strike up conversations with peers and to make new friends. “Through these
relationships, the children develop their listening skills and ability to empathize and interpret non-
verbal communication cues” (Kaufman, 2018).
The child can be assessed using various ways about the world around them. Drawing is
one of the many language’s children use to talk about their world, both to themselves and others.
Through the drawings of the children, they can represent their actions, emotions, ideas, or even
experiences. A child draws pictures telling a story at the same time. Knowing the children’s
drawing, one will be able to understand the layers of narrative children create. This will help gauge
the children’s progress, which, therefore, is essential in making connections that recognize and
expand children's learning. Also, this helps in understanding the children’s broader range of
interests. We get to learn about the children’s fears, joys, dreams, and hopes. This also gives a
precious view of the children’s personalities.
Some of the aspects that influence the child's cognitive development include the values,
beliefs, and customs of a specific social group that plays a significant role in their development.
These aspects typically teach the children new skills and what is expected of them. The cultural
expectations of a child changes as the child grow.
At this age, one of the most critical aspects for the child is peers. It is also essential to assess

the patient in the company of her best friend. It is also vital to inquire from her some things such
as the child she dislikes associating with and that one she would love being associated with. It is
essential that the patient is accompanied by one of her best friends during the assessment to gain
cooperation. An assessment is very crucial is very important; it helps a chance for both the parent
and the care provided to see how they can together support the child. Erik's psychology theory can
assist in determining the expectation of a child at their specific ages (Kaufman, 2018).
In summation, children develop in the context of their families, their schools, their
communities, and their larger culture. This means that the families and the centers where these
children are in have the most significant responsibility of ensuring that the development of these
children continues without interruptions. Through this assessment, a parent and other stakeholders
can understand where they need to offer more help to the child to meet the development
milestones.
