Introduction
Human development is a process that one person becomes different and
changes through time. This process of human development considers birth till
death. Human development is defined as process of human moves from birth
until death, Berger and Thompson (1994). According to another researcher
Papalia and Feldeman (2021) described human development as a life long
process of alteration and stability throughout the human life span from birth
until death. In the human development process dwell of prenatal stage, child
hood stage, adolescence stage, adulthood stage and final the death stage.
In this essay I will be discussing each stage of human development how they
effect the mental, physical and emotional. Through out early stage until death
stage. Childhood development, growth is explained as permanent invariant
increase in body size and development is explained as growth in psychomotor capability. Both of
these processes depend on familial, organic process,
and environmental causes.
Principles of human development
Developmental psychologists think that cognition of an accurate form of
development is cardinal to an understanding of children. There are varieties
sample principles that qualify the form and process of growing and
development. The principles are explained emblematic development as a
foreseeable and day to day process. Though there are single differences in
children's thinking, cognition, behavior and regulating of development.
1. Development happens with changes: humans undergo changes from the
time of conception to the death time. There are sorts of changes that happen
like proportions, size, appearances of old features and getting new features.
The main goal of the developmental changes is self-realization and Abraham
Maslow labeled this as self-actualization. When a human is born they are
accoutered with some abilities and potentialities at birth. Children's attitude
toward change are mostly determined by his knowledge about these changes,
social attitudes toward this change and the way people of society dainty to
children when these changes take place.
2. Development is a non stop process: Development continues end-to-end
of one persons life. This process happens in interaction with the surrounding
in where an individual lives. One stage of development is the basal model for
the next phase of development. As the person grows they acquire information
through exploring and add s to their knowledge that they already had. For
instance, a child is able to write because he has developed a hand control to
hold a pen.
3 Happiness varies at different periods of development: Happiness varies
at different periods in the development process. Childhood is the happiest
period of life and puberty is the most unhappy. The patterns of happiness
vary from child to child and it is influenced by the rearing process of the
child.
These are the types of development that are involved in an individuals life
Cognitive or Mental development this involves learning attention, memory,
thinking, language. Physical development it involves growing and alteration
in the brain and body, sense, centrifugal skills, and wellness. Psychosocial or
emotional development involves social relationship, emotion, and
personality.
1. Cognitive Development
cognitive development does not stop at childhood, if an infant and toddler are
being looked after its very interesting on how they learn so fast when it
comes to understand language development. Further, more comparing these
infants and toddlers to older children there may be a huge difference in the
ability of thinking logic of whats happening around them. Adolescents
develop knowledge to think logically about the conceptional world and they
debate matters with adults as they workout their brand-new mental skills.
Memory abilities and more forms of intelligence attend to change with the
age as a person grows. The encephalitic ability changes and compensate for
losses is significant to cognitive functions across the life process.
Physical development
This development focuses on the height and weight that baby doctor consult
to figure out if small babies, kids and teens are growing in the normal process
of physical development. Children may also change in the motor skills,
increasing coordination, especially in activities such as sports. In the physical
development also involves brain development, this does not only change
childhood motor coordination, but changes coordination between emotions to
greater and planning in adulthood, as the brain is not finished developing in
the infancy or childhood. Physical developments also involves changes such
as fertility, puberty, sexual health, aging, changes in nutrition.
Emotional developmental
This involves what is going on especially in psychologically and socially. In
the early stage most focus is on infants and health care providers, as the
temperament and attachment are important. When the social world is growing
as well as the child psychologically is important because how they interact
and play with other kids it changes. In the emotional development it involves
the relationships, self-esteem, personality and emotions. peers develop to be
important for the adolescents, who are experiencing new characters and
developing their own personalities for examples, planning to have a family,
working on a career, these are the transition stage into adulthood.
Human Development Periods
these are the stages
-prenatal development: this is when conception happens and the process
begins. Fetal periods, germinal, embryonic.
There are different of formulation to delivery,
> toddler-hood and infancy
- Toddlers are children who are at the ages of 12 to 36 months old. During this time the toddlers
are going through lots social and emotional development. Infancy is the completion of the 12th
month. The child will grow two times its birth weight in about 5 months and grows three times
by the 12th month.
> early childhood
- This is also known as nursery education. This is when the children start to process things from
birth to about the age of eight.
> middle child hood
- This is when children of the ages 6 to 12 find skills such as foundational skills and they also
start to form healthy friendships and relationships and learn who they are.
> adolescence
- This stage is when the child hits puberty and gradually becomes an adult.
> early adulthood
- This a fast period of transformation when people go through big life adjustments.
> middle adulthood
- Is the lifespan between young adulthood and old age.
> late adulthood
- This is when people are in there 60s and higher. This is the last stage of noticeable change.
