“How does a child develop?” it is impossible to determine each individual influence that decides who a child becomes (Hamosh‚ Scott‚ Amberger‚ Bocchini‚ & McKusick‚ 2005).

During this time the children gain greater muscle strength and increase their coordination. Their increased cognitive capacity means that they can participate in more complex physical activities such as swinging‚ and somersaulting. They are able to use motor skills in organised sports. During this stage drawing become more detailed and handwriting becomes smaller‚ smoother and more consistent. With the improvement in fine motor skills children are able to partake in activities such as sewing and

Main stages of child development from birth to 19 years 1. From birth to 19 years of age‚ children and young people tend to follow a broad developmental plan. Although children and young people are different‚ the way they grow and develop is often quite similar. This means we can work out a pattern for development and from this we can pinpoint particular skills or milestones that most children can do at different age ranges. Milestones describe when particular skills are achieved‚ such as

way how people make decisions in life. These errors are called cognitive biases. The term “cognitive bias” was introduced in the early 1970’s by Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman‚ which describes how heuristics or mental shortcuts lead to such errors in reasoning (Wilke & Mata‚ 2012‚ p.1).
