Understanding your child’s development • Children develop and learn at different rates and in different ways. Their development is not neat and orderly! • That’s why the Department for Education’s guidance document, Development Matters , sets out children’s learning in broad ages. It shows how lots of different experiences in the first three years of life will help your child to learn. • In this guide, ‘ When I’m a baby’ broadly tells you about your child’s development in the first year of life. ‘When I am a bit older’ tells you about their development as a toddler and two-year old.
