2.2.1-6 Flashcards
principles of individual development PCVPS
predictable and orderly continual variations in rate and timing predictable patterns simple to complex
Development occurs in a predictable and orderly way
sentence: manipulate their vocal cords, meanings of words and articulate so it makes sense
if any skills not present, child won’t be able to make sentence
development is continual
starts with conception and ends with death
foundations laid in one stage will be built on in next
decline in body systems and memory also
there are individual variations in the rate and timing of development
variations in when milestones are reached and how developed a person is compared to another of same age
height differences
development follows predictable patterns
cephalocaudal and proximodistal
cephalocaudal development
refers to growth and development that occurs from the head down
neck muscles, shoulder muscles, torso muscles to sit up
proximodistal development
occurs from the centre or core of the body in an outward direction
spine develops first in utero, extremities, fingers and toes
development proceeds from the simple to the complex
throughout the processes and motor skill development goes from simple to complex
children learn to crawl before walking and running
physical development infancy
reflexes, controlled movements
bones continue to ossify and can support own weight by end of 1st year
social development infancy
recognises facial expressions
culturally acceptable behaviour
emotional development infancy
fear
emotional attachment to care giver
intellectual development infancy
recognise name and respond
associate certain actions with outcomes
physical development early childhood
limbs and torso, proportionate to head
bones begin to lengthen and ossify, increased length
social development early childhood
accepted by others, brings attention to them
independence
emotional development early childhood
empathy
positive feedback, pride in achievements, jealous
intellectual development early childhood
questioning begins “why?”
can remember and follow basic instructions
physical development late childhood
bones and muscles, grow in length and width
permanent teeth
social development late childhood
social interactions such as sharing, communication cooperation and conflict resolution
importance to be accepted, modify behaviour
emotional development late childhood
emotions in words
self-concept
intellectual development late childhood
problem-solving skills
attention span and long term memory
adaptations to the neonate
respiration
circulation
digestion and removal of wastes
temperature control
adaptations to the neonate
respiration
during delivery, fluid in lungs is squeezed out
umbilical cord is cut and infants take first breath and inflate lungs
excess fluid absorbed by the body
adaptations to the neonate
circulation
umbilical cord is cut, change in blood pressure
increase in blood supply to lungs once inflated
results in open sides of heart closed, change in blood flow
baby now obtains oxygenated blood from lungs instead of placenta
adaptations to the neonate
digestion and removal of wastes
adapt to drinking and digesting milk
organs take on new roles and share task of removing wastes
lungs excrete carbon dioxide and kidneys purify blood
baby needs to start passing urine
first bowel movements called meconium (dark and sticky)
adaptations to the neonate
temperature control
baby temp will fall because of larger surface area, wet skin and low fat stores
should return to normal over next few hours
grasping reflex
curling of fingers around objects that touch baby’s palm
rooting reflex
turning of cheek in direction of a touch stimulus
orients child to breast or bottle
sucking reflex
sucking on objects placed into mouth allows child to take in nutrients
