The germinal stage, embryonic stage and the fetal stage. Here is Ms. Juneveve
forsuelo live from PRK 8C BRGY MAGDUM TAGUM CITY TO TELL MORE ABOUT
THE DETAILS…
According to the article written by Kendra Cherry and published in the verywell mind
website. Prenatal development has three stages. First, the germinal stage which begins
at conception when the sperm and egg cell unite in one of the two fallopian tubes .
Second, the embryonic stage that begins on the third week after conception where
mass of cells becomes distinct as a human. It is also believe that it plays an important
role in the development of the brain. And lastly, the fetal stage where this period of
development begins during the ninth week and lasts until birth. This stage is marked by
amazing change and growth. Where a lot of development happens on the early body
systems and structures established in the embryonic stage continue to develop. The
neural tube develops into the brain and spinal cord and neurons continue to form. Once
these neurons have formed, they begin to migrate to their correct locations. Synapses,
or the connections between neurons, also begin to develop.
Between the ninth and twelfth week of gestation (at the earliest), reflexes begin to
emerge. The fetus begins to make reflexive motions with its arms and legs.
During the third month of gestation, the sex organs begin to differentiate. By the end of
the month, all parts of the body will be formed. At this point, the fetus weighs around
three ounces. The fetus continues to grow in both weight and length, although the
majority of the physical growth occurs in the later stages of pregnancy.
The end of the third month also marks the end of the first trimester of pregnancy. During
the second trimester, or months four through six, the heartbeat grows stronger and
other body systems become further developed. Fingernails, hair, eyelashes, and
toenails form perhaps most noticeably, the fetus increases about six times in size.
Website ck-12 published that Infancy is defined as the first 2-year of life after birth. For
the first month after birth, an infant is called a newborn. A newborn has a distinctive
appearance. The head is very large, and the arms and legs are relatively short. The
shoulders and hips are narrow, and the abdomen protrudes slightly. Many newborns still
have lanugo on some areas of their body, but this usually disappears within a few
weeks after birth. Head hair can vary from almost no hair to a full head of hair. The stub
of the umbilical cord remains for a few weeks until it dries up and falls off, forming the
navel.
Infants are born with certain abilities already developed. For example, they have a well
developed sense of smell. They can also communicate their needs by crying when they
are hungry, uncomfortable, bored, or lonely. During their first year, they develop many
other abilities:
By 6 weeks after birth, babies typically start smiling and making vocal sounds.
By 6 months, they spend a lot of time babbling. They have also learned to sit and
are starting to crawl.
By 12 months, they are saying their first words. They can stand with help and
may have started to walk.
Another emotion which finds its expression is Fear. The child is afraid of
many things which he does not know. Young children become Jealous
when they think that their parents interest and attention are shifting toward
someone else in the family, usually a new sibling. Young children may
openly express their jealousy or they may show it by reverting to infantile
behaviour to get attention. Children are curious about anything new that
they see and also about their own bodies and the bodies of others and, as
a result, they ask questions.
i) Interest in play,
ii) Interest in human body,
iii) Interest in self,
iv) Interest in clothes,
v) Interest in Religion and
vi) Interest in Sex.
The young children love to play at all the time. They become interested in
the exterior of the body before the interior. But at the later part of early
childhood, most young children develop an interest in the interiors of their
bodies and want to know about the interior parts and their functions. After
the helpless days of babyhood are over, many young children develop an
interest in themselves. There are many ways by which the young children
show their great interest in self, like - looking at themselves in mirrors,
examining the different parts of their bodies and their clothes, asking
questions about themselves, comparing their possessions with those of
their playmates etc. Young children also have a strong interest in their
clothes. The reason is that, at an early age, they discover that their clothing
attracts attention. Adults, they find, make favourable comments about their
clothes and their playmates often admire them or envy them because of
their clothes. Religious beliefs are, for the most part, meaningless to young
children although they may show some interest in religious observances.
So many of things often mystify children, such as - birth, death, growth and
the elements. These are explained in religious terms by elders and they
accept them. Even young children endow all their beliefs with an element
of unreality; therefore, this stage has been called as “the fairytale stage” of
religious belief. Young children are also curious about where babies come
from and ask many questions about this. Many children show their interest
in sex by talking about it to their playmates when adults are not present, by
looking at pictures, by enjoying the adult scenes in the T.V. shows and
movies etc. Normally in this stage male child is attached to the mother and
the female child to the father.
Meanwhile, psychologist Erik Erikson says that in middle and late childhood
are very busy or industrious
According to Erikson, children in middle childhood are very busy or industrious. They are
constantly doing, planning, playing, getting together with friends, and achieving. This is a very
active time and a time when they are gaining a sense of how they measure up when compared
with friends. Erikson believed that if these industrious children view themselves as successful in
their endeavors, they will get a sense of competence for future challenges. If instead, a child
feels that they are not measuring up to their peers, feelings of inferiority and self-doubt will
develop. These feelings of inferiority can, according to Erikson, lead to an inferiority complex
that lasts into adulthood.
