Growth Refers to specific body changes and increases in the
child size, such as a child's height, weight, heads,
circumference, and body mass index. The size
changes can usually be easily measured.
Development Typically refers to an increase in complexity, a
change from relatively simple to more complicated.
Development usually involves a progression along a
continuous pathway on which the child acquires
more knowledge, behaviors, and skills. The sequence
is basically the same for all children, however, the
rate varies.
We find grow growth as specific body During the first year of an infant life, babies can grow
changes and increases in the child's 10 inches in length and triple their birth. After the first
size. year, a baby growth and length supposed to 5 inches
a year for the next two years and then continues from
age two or three to puberty at a rate of 2 to 3 inches
each year. A major growth spurt occurs at the time of
puberty.
-girls generally, her puberty between eight and 13
years of age
-boys usually enter puberty between 10 and 15 years
of age
,Similarities in growth: -Growth proceeds from the head downward and
from the center of the body outward.
-Children gain control of the head and neck first,
then the arms, and finally, the legs.
-At birth, the brain, heart, and spinal cord are fully
functioning to support the infant.
-As children grow, the arm and leg muscles develop,
followed by the finger and toe muscles.
Differences in growth: -Some children are taller, some shorter. Some
children are smaller, while others are larger.
-These differences are completely typical. Typical
growth is supported by good nutrition, adequate
sleep, and regular exercise.
-Children do not grow at perfectly steady rates
throughout childhood.
-Children will experience weeks or months of slightly
slower growth, followed by growth spurts.
-Differences in the amount of growth can be a
source of self-consciousness for some children.
It is important to help the children in current
understand that differences and growth patterns are
typical because each child has different and special,
it is important to help them understand the concept
in order to develop a sense of self acceptance.
If you detect that a child is self- Either individually or with a group of children, talk
conscious about his/her size, how about how things are different, but equally important
would you help him/her we're on and valuable. Help them understand the differences
increasing his/self acceptance? are not bad, but rather make each person special.
Everyone is special and grow into wonderful people.
If you have some concern about Sharing information about typical growth patterns
growth related issue in involving a with the parents or all the parents. Ask them if they
child, how would you approach this have any questions/concerns. All discussion should
issue with the parents? occur in a clean and confidential manner.
,Principal 1 - developmental sequence -children develop and relatively the same ways
is similar for all -there is a typical sequence of development that
occurs as a child grows
-while the sequence of similar, and the behaviors or
skills emerge at the same order, children could take
more or less time with each behavior or skill
-they can forward, regress for a short time, then
move forward again
-some children may get a behavior or skill as they
move forward
Principle 2- development proceed -development progresses from a beginning point
from general to specific moving in a forward direction
-justice growth of an infant proceed from the top
down and from the center of the body to the limbs,
development, behaviors, and skills, moose from
general to specific
-as children, mature, their bodily changes occurred in
a sequential order and give children new abilities
-as the brain and nervous system develop, a child's
thinking (cognitive) parentheses skills and motor skills
improve
-in the physical development domain, an infant large
muscles develop first and result in ability to wave the
arms and kick the legs
-development continues in the smaller muscles and
the fingers and toes, and results in the ability of the
fingers to grasp objects on the toast to help with
balance when standing and walking
, Principal 3- development is -and children who develop typically, behaviors and
continuous skills they have already acquired to become the basis
for new behaviors and skills
-there is continuity from one phase of development
to the next
-children continue to add new behaviors and skills as
they perfect their abilities to walk, to write virtual,
and to speak. For example, speech development
proceeds from gurgles and cools to chattering, then
into words, then phrases, and finally, sentences.
Sentences, paragraphs and stories, both oral and
written.
-in order for children to write or draw, they must have
developed the control of their hands and fingers to
hold a cramp and pencil. Holding a pencil developed
into writing and drawing.
-the continuation of development can easily be seen
in children as the mature from age 2, to age 12
Principle 4- development proceed at -each child is different and the rates at which
different rates individual children develop are different
-although the sequences for development are
usually the same for all children, the rates at which
individuals children reach each stage will be different
-some children will walk at 10 months of age, while
others walk at 18 months of age
-development is never uniform, but it is constant
