🎯 Understand Developmental Milestones Recognising developmental milestones is an important aspect of early childhood education. This course explores how children’s abilities can emerge and change across different developmental stages. You will develop an educational understanding of milestones related to communication, cognition, social interaction, emotional development and learning while recognising that children do not all develop in exactly the same way.

The course introduces learners to key concepts relating to child behaviour, emotional development and positive educational practice. You will explore how relationships, communication, developmental stages and environments may influence children’s behaviour. You will also consider approaches that promote positive interactions, consistency, empathy, appropriate boundaries and supportive learning environments.
