The document outlines 8 stages of human development:
1) Infancy is the foundation age from birth to 18 months when basic behaviors are organized and physical skills develop.
2) Early childhood from 18 months to 3 years is when verbal communication begins and independence emerges.
3) Late childhood from 4 to 6 years is a time of exploration, questioning, and initial socialization experiences.

- foundation age when basic behavior is organized and many ontogenetic maturation skills are developed. - change from plump baby to leaner more muscular toddler. - begins to walk and talk. - the ability for passive language (better understanding of what’s being said) - a tentative sense of independence.
b. Early childhood (18 mos.- 3 years)
- begins to communicate verbally - can usually speak in 3 to 4 word sentences - famous for negative behavior “No!” to everything! Temper tantrums. - will play side by side with other children, but does not actively play with them. - a great imitator. c. Late Childhood (4-6 years ) - pre-gang age exploratory, and questioning. Language and elementary reasoning are acquired and initial socialization is experienced. - sentences are more complex; speak well enough for strangers to understand - imagination is vivid; the line between what is real and imaginary is often indistinct. - develops fears (common fears; fear of dark, fear of animals, and fear of death) d. School Age ( 7-11 years ) - gang and creativity age when self-help skills, social skills, school skills, and play are developed. - both large and small muscles are well- developed. - developed complex motor skills. - acceptance by peers is very important - parental approval still e. Adolescence ( 12-18 years ) - transition age from childhood when sex maturation and rapid physical development occur resulting in changes in ways of feeling, thinking, and acting. - traumatic life stage for child and parent - puberty occurs - extremely concerned with appearance - trying to establish self-identity - confrontations with authority f. Young adulthood (19-29 years ) - age of adjustment to new patterns of life and roles such as a spouse, parent, and a breadwinner - physical development complete - emotional maturation continues to develop - usually learned to accept responsibility for actions and accept criticism - usually knows how to profit from errors. - socially progress from age-related peer groups to people with similar interests. g. Adulthood (30-64 years )
- physical changes begin to occur: hair begins to
thin and gray, wrinkles appear, hearing and vision decrease, and muscles lose tone - main concerns: children, health, job security, aging, parents, and fear of aging. - love and acceptance still take a major role. h. Old Age (65 ^ ) - fastest-growing age bracket of society - physical deterioration (brittle bones, poor coordination) - some memory problems - coping with retirement and forms of entertainment - very concerned with health and finances - significant number become depressed; the suicide rate is high.
