When studying development, it is important to understand there is a difference between the sequence of development and the rate of development. A sequenced development, looks at a child's development as a definite pattern, that a child's should be following. This means, a baby will learn to walk before they have the ability to run, and even though, every individual is unique in the way they develop, and the time they take to reach certain milestones, they will still follow the predicted…

Children consisting from two to six years of age are enduring and experiencing new stages in growth and development that are considered essential foundation building blocks for sprouting their youthful life. These children are increasing knowledge and access to skills in several areas of development. Although all children expand and develop at their own pace, there are certain achievements and discoveries you can contemplate to observe each year from nearly all children. Ordinarily, researchers…

How development can affect one another and be interconnected. Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates. All areas of learning and development are equally important and inter-connected. Children learn from everything they do; skills are developed in day-to-day activities and achievements.

Synthesis of Principles Defining the Lifespan Development Approach In developmental psychology, age is the most examined variable. Examining chronological age in developmental psychology is informed by the fact that the performance of tasks is associated with age whereby, for example, teenagers will perform at higher levels compared to younger children (Flaherty, 2010).

pattern of growth. However, there are universal sequences and predictable in the development that occur during the first 9 years of life. While children develop, they need different types of stimulation and interaction to exercise their skills, and to develop new ones.

Child Development 0 to 6 Age The term of child development is usually reserved for trying to explain the process by which they…

Development of the human is a continuously ongoing process. This is true in the fact that a human begins to grow and mature from conception until death. It is seen in the rapid growth of a fetus to the wise words of our elders. However, one of the most critical periods of postpartum development occurs in childhood (Berk, 2014). Children are evolving on all of the multiple planes of human development and at a significant rate. And in that critical period of development, parents/legal guardians…

when children learn the most; by age three a child’s development reaches eighty percent. As James and Nelson express “brain development is a complex set of processes that begin within a few weeks of contraception and continue until adulthood” (as cited in Holden, 2014, p. 189). Without healthy growth, a child can have many learning, behavior problems even mental and health problems. It is consequential, that parents promote healthy development. There are three periods of neurological growth that…
