The difference between the seqence and rate of development is that the sequence means that there is a patteren and an order of development linked to there body and mobility growth to a childs development such as the sequence can include an order that's both positive and negative to the child. Milestones can also be sequence such as a child is breastfeed, weaned, full meals, 1st milk tooth appears, 1st milk tooth lost, last adult tooth appears, this is the sequence that every child goes through but the rate or age an individual child reaches each of these stages will differ, it could be that one loses their first tooth at 5 years old and another at 8 years old typically a first tooth is expected to come away at 6 maybe 7 years old because as always every child will develop at there own pace. The childs rate of development involves a time frame linked to the childs age and on their current development stage you can plan activities that explore seqential milestones that have yet to be reached.

Rate and some aspects of sequence will be unique to an individual child, but both rate and sequence will be mapped against the birth to five development timeline,NHS parental guide and development matters of eyfs.
