Care 2.1
2.1 Explore human growth and development across life stages
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| stages of a human life | These can be roughly classified as; infancy (0-2 years), early childhood (3-8 years), adolescence (9-18 years), early adulthood (19-45 years), middle adulthood (46-65 years), and later adulthood (65+). |
| infancy and early childhood | The life stage during which key physical developments include the development of fine motor skills and gross motor skills. |
| fine motor skills | Skills that require a high degree of control and precision in the body’s small muscles. Examples include using a knife and fork, writing and drawing, and speaking. |
| gross motor skills | Skills that use the large muscles in the body and include broad movements such as walking, jumping, and throwing. |
| adolescence | The life stage during which the main physical changes in puberty take place. |
| puberty | The process of physical change through which a child's body matures into an adult body capable of sexual reproduction. |
| early adulthood | The life stage at which the body is physically mature, and has stopped growing. For most people this is the stage when they are at their strongest physically. |
| middle adulthood | The life stage during which the physical ageing process occurs. Effects of this process include hair loss, greying hair, loss of muscle tone, and menopause. |
| menopause | The point in a woman's life when she stops having periods and is no longer able to become pregnant naturally. |
| later adulthood | The life stage during which the physical ageing process continues, and further effects may include loss of strength, loss of mobility, loss of fine motor skills and sensory loss. |
| cognitive development | This kind of development includes thinking and language skills, problem solving, moral development, and memory. |
| language skills | The development of these skills is especially important in infancy and early childhood and takes place rapidly during this time. |
| moral development | The process through which children develop proper attitudes and behaviours toward other people in society, based on social and cultural norms, rules, and laws. |
| memory | The faculty of the brain by which data or information is encoded, stored, and retrieved when needed. |
| emotional development | The development of feelings about oneself and others. Some important aspects of this process are the development of attachment, self-image and self-esteem. |
| attachment | A deep and enduring emotional bond that connects one person to another across time and space, important for the mental and emotional wellbeing of people. |
| self-image | The idea a person has of their own abilities, appearance, and personality. It has an influence on self-esteem. |
| self-esteem | The value a person perceives in themselves. This is likely to be influenced by self-image, but it also depends on a sense of intrinsic human value – i.e. knowing that every person is valuable as a person, and why that is true. |
| social development | This kind of development involves the formation of various kinds of relationships, as well as the development of independence. |
| relationship | A connection between people, including family connections, friendships and romantic connections. |
| independence | The ability to live your life without being helped by other people, and also without being influenced by other people. |
