Lifespan Developments Theories offer explanations of how the individual changes and develops throughout their lifetime. While this objective is constant‚ the focus of these theories vary.

This essay will focus on both these

Human development research indicates that relatively stable‚ predictable sequences of growth and change occur in children during the first nine years of life (Katz 1995). Predictable changes occur in all domains of development‚ physical‚ emotional‚ social‚ language‚ and cognitive (Katz 1995).The ways that these changes are manifest and the meaning attached to them may vary in different cultural contexts.
