Although children learn all the time this seems to expand more and children gain more knowledge when starting school. When starting school children are encouraged to learn to write letters and words, recognise and write numbers and read and by mid of primary school they are usually fluent at carrying these out. Also when starting school children become more socialized and develop this skill in many ways. Children often being to make friendship groups and are able to say what they like and dislike very confidently. With friends children tend to take part in imaginary and fantasy play. Children in this category will become more aware of boundaries that are in place and what limits the child can push the boundaries to before having a consequence. Children will know at this point what acceptable behaviour is and what is unacceptable. Sometimes children will try and push boundaries with unfamiliar people. (Raisingchildren.net, 2016) For example, if there is a new member of staff working in their class they may try their luck to see if they get away with no

The different aspects of children's development are interlinked and co-dependent, so they will each be important to the child's holistic development. Children's overall development and educational needs will be affected by the way in which they develop in key areas. As children grow and pass different milestones or key points, they will gradually become more independent and less reliant on those around them in preparation for the future.

Physical Development Watson (2012) defines physical development as the process that starts in human infancy and continues into late adolescent concentrating on fine and gross motor development. Fine motor development involves more finely tuned movements such as grasping, building bricks and gross motor development involves larger movements such as walking, climbing, climbing stairs and riding bicycles. In the movie “Yours, Mine and Ours”, when analysing Ethan Beardsley who is four years old, the youngest child of Frank Beardsley; a single father of eight children, Ethan’s fine motor development such as when he was using a chalk when he and Helen North’s youngest were scribbling on Frank’s “Operation Light House” board, he grasped the chalk with ease as the chalk was big.

In order for the body to be able to perform simple tasks like moving your hands, the brain must develop the relationship between fine motor skills and their association with the different parts of the body. This development typically begins to occur when a child is around 2 months old, as they are able to start moving on their own and associating different actions with body movements. As the child becomes aware of the extent of their mobility, the brain begins to send signals as motor commands, which results in the body’s association with things such as having an itch and raising your hand to your head to scratch it. By eight months, children are typically able to grasp objects and push themselves on their hands and knees and at one year many children are learning to stand unsupported while gaining muscle control in their back and legs. As children continue to grow and develop, hand-eye coordination is being fine-tuned and eventually the dramatic growth in the development of physical skills result in the increased capacity to learn new cognitive skills (Miller et al., 2018).
