Growth and Development
Transcript: Their emotional development is often stormy and in conflict and they are trying to establish themselves and their identities. By age six the average weight is 45 pounds and the height is 46 inches. At ages 1-2 the child starts to become self-aware and the affect they have on objects and other people. Also at this age limits are set and the child will either follow them or break them. Children will start to feel impatient and frustrated because they try to push their limits. They will also throw "temper tantrums" when they are angry. In their early childhood kids start enjoy spending time with others and they don't fear separation from their parents. LATE ADULTHOOD A sudden "growth spurt" can cause rapid increase in weight and height. A child can gain about 25 pounds and several inches in just a few months. Muscle coordination doesn't advance as quickly causing awkwardness and clumsiness in a child. This age group is where puberty sets in and the child's body starts to change. In early childhood the muscular system gives the child a more adult appearance and the muscle coordination lets them run, climb and move more freely. Between ages 2 and 4 most kids learn bladder and bowel control. YEARS 40 TO 65 AKA "Middle Age" is where people's hair starts to gray and thin out, their skin begins to wrinkle, muscle tone starts to decrease, hearing loss begins, vision starts to go and weight gain occurs. Women of this age group go through menopause(end of menstruation). People in this age group are usually more confident in their decision making and excellent at analyzing situations and being able to cope with many different stresses. Usually people are content and satisfied with life or it can be a time of crisis. The emotional foundation of past stages determine the emotional status of this period. The social development can go either good with family and work relationships become stronger over time or bad with divorce or the kids moving out, or even death. EARLY CHILDHOOD BIRTH TO YEAR 1 SEPTEMBER 26, 2012 MIDDLE ADULTHOOD Diversified Health Occupations by Louise Simmers Children learn about loyalty, honesty, values, and morals and begin to make better judgements. EARLY ADULTHOOD This is the most productive life stage, your physical development is basically complete and your muscles are strong and your coordination is at its peak. This life stage is the best time to have a child. This age spends their time on being independent, making their career choices, establishing their life choices, gets married, and starting a family. People from 20 to 40 are put under stress by their career, marriage, family and other stresses but they learn to cope with these worries from past development in previous stages. People start to move away from their young groups they used to hang out with and start to hang out with people who have the same ambitions and interests. This stage is often called the traumatic life stage. Toward the end of adolescence, self-identity has been established, and they feel more comfortable with who they are and they start to focus on who they want to be. This is the age where the children lose their baby teeth and gain their adult teeth. YEARS 12 TO 20 In the later years of life the physical development is on a decline. Age spots start to appear and usually the skin dries out, becomes wrinkled and thinner. Your bones become more fragile and brittle which makes them easier to fracture. Muscles starts to lose tone and strength, and you can get Alzheimer's disease and Arteriosclerosis There is a wide emotional spectrum at this age one can be very happy and enjoying life with family and cope well with stress, but others become lonely, frustrated, withdrawn, and depressed. When people retire they lose their sense of identity and their circle of friends usually shrinks. Losing a spouse and friends, or moving to a new environment can change social development. Just like the earlier stages of social development the elderly need a sense of belonging, self-esteem, social acceptance and love. Physical development is slow but steady and on average gain about 5 to 7 pounds a year and grow 2 to 3 inches a year. Since most foundations have been set mental development is just increasing knowledge and a sharpening of skills Children in this age group advance rapidly in mental development and their memory develops to the point where the child can make decisions on past experiences. YEARS 6 TO 12 YEARS 65 AND UP Mental development increases rapidly since the child's life revolves around school. Their speech skills develop more completely and the child learns how to read and write. At this age kids start to spend less time with thier family and start to spend more time with their friends. Adolescence start to focus more on their physical appearence and are more harsh with each other about it causing disorders like anorexia nervosa, bulimia, substance abuse and even suicide.
