Unit 10.1.2 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

The infant’s physical development in the first two years of early childhood is extensive and rapid following particular growth patterns such as cephalocaudal‚ which means from the head to the toes and proximal distal meaning from the centre out. During this period gross motor skills increase dramatically and children are more active than at any other period in their life span. During late childhood
