UNIT 2: INDIVIDUAL NEEDS WITHIN THE HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE SECTORS TASK 1: INDIVIDUAL NEEDS (P1) Describe the physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs of all the individual groups. BABIES Babies are helpless, and completely dependent on their parent or carers to provide for their needs. Babies’ physical needs have to be met by others. For example, they have to be fed, washed, clothed, and kept warm by parent or carers. They learn to recognise their family in the first six months, like their smell, voice, or faces, and when they seen their faces they are excited. Babies need to be paying some attention for their emotional needs. Sometimes they smile or make sort of sound to attract attention from they carers. In addition they babies needs to be loved and cared, which is very important right from the beginning of life. |Stage |Physical needs |Social needs |Emotional |Intellectual needs | |Babies |Fresh air, food, drink, |To be pay some attention|To be loved and cared. |Sing for them, read, or | | |kept warm, good hygiene,| | |playing game with them. | | |safety, sleep, | | | | | |exercises, etc… | | | | CHILDREN As children grow they learn lots of range of skills, like running, climbing, skipping, riding a bicycle and reading.

They may be able to make independent choices about their physical needs, choose their own friend and lifestyle.
