Physical Development – Children learn how to perform gross (or large) motor skills such as walking before they
learn to perform fine (or small) motor skills such as drawing. in children follows a
directional pattern. And physical development as I know it include the growth of the
body and brain, And during of the period we see the changes of physical domain.
During infancy the brain grows in complexity and during childhood handedness
appears during middle childhood health is typically better than any others during
adolescence puberty start. And as I know if a toddles or infancy they slowly develop
their different skills. They develop their physical abilities like to writing, drawing and
any writing forms. In this generation early child will had an early maturity which
means that because of the technologies many children have opportunity to learn
through devices like watching videos( ABCD, NUMBERS, SOUNDS, RHYME etc.)
but they did not develop their health the proper health for children because now a days
a lot of people abuse by technology physically or socially. Physical development is
defined as the biological changes that occur in the body and brain, including changes
in size and strength, integration of sensory and motor activities, and development of
fine and gross motor skills. Physical development is the process that starts in human
infancy and continues into late adolescent concentrating on gross and fine motor skills
as well as puberty. Physical development involves developing control over the body,
particularly muscles and physical coordination. The peak of physical development
happens in childhood and is therefore a physical crucial time for neurological brain
development and body coordination.
Cognitive development - Cognitive development is defined as the changes in the way we think, understand, and
reason about the world. It involves language, thinking, reasoning, and creativity.
During period of development we see the changes in the cognitive domain.
Stages of Cognitive Development
1. The Sensorimotor Stage: A period of time between birth and age two during which an infant's knowledge of the
world is limited to his or her sensory perceptions and motor activities. Behaviors are limited to simple motor responses
caused by sensory stimuli.
2. The Preoperational Stage: A period between ages two and six during which a child learns to use language. During
this stage, children do not yet understand concrete logic, cannot mentally manipulate information and are unable to
take the point of view of other people.
3. The Concrete Operational Stage: A period between ages seven and eleven during which children gain a better
understanding of mental operations. Children begin thinking logically about concrete events, but have difficulty
understanding abstract or hypothetical concepts.
4. The Formal Operational Stage: A period between age twelve to adulthood when people develop the ability to think
about abstract concepts. Skills such as logical thought, deductive reasoning and systematic planning also emerge
during this stage.
Social-Emotional development - Social-emotional development is defined as the changes in the ways we
connect to other individuals and express and understand emotions.
The core features of emotional development include the ability of a child to
identify and understand their own feelings, to accurately read and comprehend
emotional states of others, to manage strong emotions and their expression in a
beneficial manner, to regulate their own behavior, to develop empathy for
others, and to establish and maintain relationships. Healthy social-emotional
development for infants and toddlers develops in an interpersonal context,
specifically that of positive ongoing relationships with familiar and nurturing
adults. Emotion and cognition work together, informing the child’s impressions
of situations and influencing behavior. Children will experience a range of
emotional and cognitive development related to interactions and relationships
with adults and peers, identity of self, recognition of ability, emotional
expression, emotional control, impulse control, and social understanding. On
how a child or children understand the situation in the society because
sometimes what children see in environment may affect and influence to
him\her.
