about the physical growth and development of a newborn. It discussed how the head occupies the proportion of the newborn’s body. Also‚ it discussed the two patterns that newborns go through when developing. The first pattern is called cephalocaudal pattern. Cephalocaudal pattern is the sequence in which the earliest growth always occurs at the top. Another pattern discussed is called proximodistal pattern. Proximodistal pattern is the sequence in which growth starts at the center of the body and moves

According to Working in Children’s Services Series ‘Frameworks for learning and development’ Cephalocaudal development refers to the direction of the body’s physical growth‚ reflected in the order in which parts of the body become larger and the order in which functions and structures become more complex. Cephalocaudal development progresses from head to foot this therefore means an infant gains control of their head first‚ then neck‚ shoulders‚ back‚ hips

Newborns weight an average on 7 pounds and are about 20 inches long and grow at a rapid speed over the first years of their lives. There are four principles of growth. The cephalocaudal principle‚ the proximodistal principle‚ the principle of hierarchical integration‚ and the principle of the independence of systems. The cephalocaudal principle states that growth follows a pattern that begins with the head and upper body parts and then proceeds down to the rest of the body. The proximodistal principle

CYP3.1 1. 1.2 The sequence of development is the order in which things develop - one after the other‚ you must finish with one area of development before you move onto the next one. For example the Cephalocaudal principle believes that development moves from the head downwards. It understands that infants get full control of their heads first‚ then their arms and finally their feet‚ from top to bottom. The understanding is that the spinal cord needs to develop properly before other areas such as

Aspects of Development‚ Sequence and Rate. Introduction As practitioners working with children‚ there is a great deal that must be known‚ it is important that there is an understanding of the different aspects of development and also a greater understanding between the sequence of development and rate of development and why the difference of the two is important. The physical growth and development growth of children underpins other aspects of their development‚ the two go hand in hand and

as well‚ where the amnion‚ umbilical cord and placenta form to support and protect the foetus. At this period‚ the foetus’ body organs also starts to form‚ which is called organogenesis. As the foetus grows‚ they follow two principle which are‚ cephalocaudal and proximodistal‚ where the body that grows from head to toe and chest to outwards respectively. The last stage of prenatal development is the fetal period. Throughout this period‚ the foetus is able to move around‚ the gender of the foetus can
