Students will gain an understanding of:

The different life stages:


Infancy (0-2 years)
Early childhood (3-8 years)
Adolescence (9-18 years)
Early adulthood (19-45 years)
Middle adulthood (46-65 years)
Later adulthood (65+ years)
Physical growth and development across the life stages, including
gross and fine motor skills
Intellectual/cognitive development across the life stages, including
language development
Emotional maturity across the life stages, including bonding and
attachment, self-image, self-esteem and self-concept
Self-concept across the life stages and how it is affected by factors
such as gender and appearance
Social development across the life stages including the formation of
relationships with others and the socialisation process.

maturation

The physical changes that occur as we grow older are mainly influenced by maturation.
This is a lifelong process in which growth and developmental changes occur in sequence.
Maturation is thought to be controlled by a biological programme built into our genes,
which controls the ageing process. The rate at which people age is influenced by factors
such as whether a person inherits long life genes from their parents, their attitude to
life, their health and fitness, and the extent to which they live a stressful life.

KEY TERM:
DEVELOPMENTAL NORMS

GROWTH:
Refers to an increase

in size!

Also called milestones this refers


to the points in a persons life
where particular changes are
expected to happen.

Typically, a person will experience a


gradual increase in their height and mass
as they move from infancy to adulthood!
Growth then reaches MATURATION when
humans maintain their bodies through diet
and exercise until the effects of aging begin
to occur.

Growth
and
Development in your own words
by drawing a outline of a human
body and writing your answer
inside it.
Ext- Can you go further?- You
may wish to label certain parts of

DEVELOPMENT:
Development happens when a
person gains new skills,
abilities and emotions.
Typically, our skills, abilities and
emotions
become
more
sophisticated and complex as we
progress from childhood through
adolescence to adulthood.

Learning objective:
To understand how infants grow and develop between the ages of 0 to 2.
Learning Outcome:
You will be able to explain how 0 to 2 year olds grow and develop.
INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT
The most significant change
is physical appearance
where they go from an
infant being cradled to a
walking toddler.

EMOTIONAL DEVLOPMENT
An infants feelings are controlled
by their needs e.g. food,
changing, tired and they are
unable to think about the needs
of others above their own, which
is called being EGOCENTRIC

Infants start life as an empty


vessel and learn from day one
by observing others and
through their 5 senses. Play is
an extremely important part of
their learning.

SOCIAL DEVLOPMENT
Bonding and attaching to their
primary care givers is the most
important social need in infancy. This
helps infants become secure in later
life stages

Being EGOCENTRIC means only


thinking about the needs of yourself
and not of others. As children's
minds are developing, they are
unable to have a wider thought
spectrum until they are older and
start to think
about what other
people like. Being EGOCENTRIC is a
normal part of growing up but leads
to confrontation, jealousy and rivalry

Learning is the most important experience of childhood. From the age of 3


children are entitled to go to pre-school and then from the age of 4 they must
attend school. Rapid learning in the early years begins with children
developing their language and moral development. They learn and develop new
skills including abstract and creative thinking and problem solving, which
