Ever wondered how the banyan tree grew to be so huge?. I recall standing below a huge banyan tree in my village. My father showed me a seed and said the tree is from this seed. As a young boy it was a mystery to me how such a big tree developed from this tiny seed. As I grew up I understood the development stages and how it also related to my development from a just born to the stage I am. There is a very popular song in my native language Tamil in India.

First 8 years learn to play and enjoy, second 8 years study hard, 3rd 8 years get married, 4th 8 year rear children, 5th 8 year earn wealth, 6th 8 year see the world, 7th 8 year retire and rest and last 8 year surrender

The dream of every woman is to experience mother hood. The very sight of new born brings happiness. During infancy and childhood the child is dependent on its mother for everything. Initially every child is born with fundamental traits and each of the traits is triggered at respective stages of development. They begin to follow language and react to visual and auditory sounds. In unit 6, we studied how important language is to the overall development of our Brain. During this period a child goes through certain development process like responding to sound, visual gazing, motor movements, reflex, crying, crawling, attempting to walk, categorization of objects and people, recognition and recall, relating to environment, and the ability to solve problems through imagining rather than experiment skills are developed. By 2 years, they develop emotional responses of smiling, anger, sadness, fear. At this stage parents tend to notice for any abnormalities in the child’s brain development based on the type of response or lack of response in certain process. In this unit, Jean Peiget process of universal stages of development makes interesting findings. The development process is the same irrespective of culture and …show more content…
Nightmarish times for parents and society. Why this situation? It is at this stage physiological transformation takes place. Girls achieve puberty and technically ready for reproduction. Boys begin to grow facial and body hairs to signal maturity with hardening of voice. They no longer want to be dependent on parents and at this stage peer groups are formed and they would listen and conduct themselves according to their own/peer advise and most importantly opposite sex. They would rebel, fight and would be on cross roads handling emotions and anger. They would want to explore the world, new feeling and freedom at all levels and would want to be away from parent control. They are easily distracted. The traits formed during their childhood and the emotional support they received during their early stages plays a very crucial role in their molding during adolescent. At this stage they make their identification to the society. Children can go anyway from good to bad all depending on the peer group. However at this stage they begin to realize their responsibilities and plan their future. I and my twin brother were nightmares for our parents. Night outs, untidy, irregular eating habits, fights and yet bonded together. However it is at this stage certain neurological complications also arise possibly due to stress, during pregnancy or genetic mutation. One of the serious
