Principles of Human Growth and Development
There is a sequence to human growth and development. Just as you need to crawl and then walk before you run, all growth follows a pattern. Human development looks at five areas. They are physical growth, motor skills, language, cognition, and social and emotional skills. Each area represents a stage of rapid change in physical and cognitive growth, with important milestones to pass before moving ahead. The patterns of growth and development are usually the same for all children. However, the rate of growth and development can vary. There are accepted age ranges during which particular skills can develop, and for some children, one area may develop more quickly than another. A child may develop communication skills quickly, but stay uncoordinated with poor motor skills for a time. A different child may excel at sports, but have poor social skills. Using general knowledge of human growth and development helps support the stage the child is in. Human development is a lifelong process of physical, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional growth and change. In the early stages of life from babyhood to childhood, childhood to adolescence, and adolescence to adulthood- enormous changes take place. Throughout the process, each person develops attitudes and values that guide choices, relationships, and understanding. Development, therefore, encompasses all of the changes (quantitative and qualitative) that a person may go throughout his lifetime. Growth or physical growth is referred to as a quantitative change. This change includes change in height, weight, and change in proportion. Other authors include change in the quantity of the person‘s vocabulary. Development is a qualitative change which may include increase in the skills and complexity of function resulting to increased specialization. It is the gradual and orderly unfolding of the characteristics of the succession stages of growth. It is a progressive series of changes that
