Principles of development.
Each child is unique but the basic paten of growth development is the same for every child. Development tends to proceed from the head downward. This is called the cephalocaudal principle. According to this principle, the child first gains control of the head, then the arms, then the legs. An infant should gain control of head and face movements within the first two months after birth. In the next few months, they are able to lift themselves up using their arms. By 6 to 12 months of age, infants start to gain leg control and may be able to crawl, stand, or walk. Development also proceeds from the centre of the body outward according to the proximodistal principle. Accordingly, the spinal cord develops …show more content…
So for instance a child might be highly intellectual and then be unable to use their knife and fork. This isn't because the child is incapable of using their knife and fork; it just has not had the chance to practice the physical skill. Another example is a child needs to wear glasses for school (physical) and other kids are teasing the child, this can mean their self-esteem is being undermined and his confidence will diminish (emotional development) and could also lead to the child becoming isolated from their friends as they cannot deal with the teasing (social) so the child stops wearing their glasses to become socially acceptable and then they can't see properly (physical) so the child cannot do his schoolwork and progress …show more content…
