The term 'child development' is used to
describe the skill and capacity of function
acquired by children between birth and about 5
years of age
It is a qualitative change in the child ’s
functioning.
It can be measured through observation.
By understanding what to expect during each stage of development ,
parents can easily capture the teachable moments in everyday life to
enhance their child's language development, intellectual growth, social
development and motor skills.


NB/Chronological age, physical growth and
developmental skills usually evolve hand in
hand. Just as there are normal ranges for
changes in body size with age, so there are
ranges over which new skills are acquired.





When considering developmental milestones:
The median age is the age when half of a standard
population of children achieve that level; it serves as
a guide to when stages of development are likely to
be reached but does not tell us if the child's skills are
outside the normal range.
Limit ages are the age by which they should have
been achieved. Limit ages are usually 2 standard
deviations from the mean. They are more useful as a
guide to whether a child's development is normal than
the median ages
There are four fields of
developmental skills to






These are:
A. gross motor
B. vision and fine motor
C. hearing, speech and language
D.social, emotional and behavioural.


Gross motor skills are the most obvious initial
area of developmental progress. As fine motor
skills require good vision, these are grouped
together; similarly, normal speech and
language development depends on reasonable
hearing and so these are also considered
together. Social, emotional and behavioural
skills are a spectrum of psychological
development








gross motor development: an explosion of
skills during the first year of life ,large muscle
vision and fine motor development: more
evident acquisition of skills from 1 year
onwards
hearing, speech and language: a big expansion
of skills from 18 months
social, emotional and behavioural
development: expansion in skills is most
obvious from 2.5 years.


Birth

•

Gross motor:The newborn's movement are
random, diffuse and uncoordinated. Complete
head lag

•

Visio&Fine motor. Holds hand in fist

•

Bright lights appear to be unpleasant to
newborn infant.Follow objects in line of vision
Hearing &speech:The newborn infant
responds to sounds with either cry or eye
movement, cessation of activity and / or startle
reaction.

•


Social:The newborn infant expresses his
emotion just through cry for hunger, pain or
discomfort sensation.

school age
During school age, evidence of developmental
progression is predominantly through
cognitive development, abstract thinking and
, skills of conceptualisation


Adolescence; is a period of development which involves with in
; it
Puberty; which is a biological process in which a child becomes
.an adult
These changes include; development of secondary sexual
characteristic, increase to adult size and development of
.reproductive capacity
.Adolescence has 3 stage; Early, middle, and late

;
Biological

Psychological

Social

Early adolescence

Early puberty
Females - breast bud, pubic
hair development, start of
growth spurt
Males-testicular
enlargement, start of genital
growth

Concrete thinking but begin
to develop moral concepts
and awareness of their
sexual identity

The early emotional
separation from parents, start
of a strong peer
identification, early
exploratory behaviours, e.g.
may start smoking

Mid-adolescence

Females - end of growth
spurt, menarche, change in
body shape
Males - sperm production,
voice breaks, start of growth
spurtAcneBlushing
Need for more sleep

Abstract thinking, but still
seen as 'bulletproof',
increasing verbal dexterity,
may develop a fervent
(ideology (religious, political

Continuing emotional
separation from parents,
heterosexual peer interest,
early vocational plans

Late adolescence

Males - end of puberty,
continued growth in height,
strength and body hair

Complex abstract thinking
identification of difference
between law and morality,
increased impulse control,
further development of
personal identity, further
development or rejection of
ideologies

Social autonomy, may
develop intimate
relationships, further
education or employment,
may begin or develop
financial independence
