Introduction
•For every developmental stages there is an
expected developmental task. What happens
when the expected developmental tasks are
not achieved at the corresponding
developmental stage? How can you help
children achieve this developmental tasks?
Pre-natal period
Refering to pre-natal development, Stanrock(2002)
asked the following questions succinctly:
" How from the simple a beginning do endless forms
develop and grow and mature? What was the organism,
what is it now and what will it become?
The process of prenatal development occurs in three main stages.
■ The first two weeks after conception are known as the germinal
stage.
■ The third through the eighth week is known as the embryonic
period.
■ The time from the ninth week until birth is known as the fetal
period.
Infancy (from birth to 2 years)
as new borns ,we were not empty - headed organisms.We
cried, kicked ,coughed, sucked, saw,heard and tested. We
slept a lot and occasionally we smiled although the meaning
of our smiles was not entirely clear. We crawled and then we
walked a journey of a thousand miles beginning with a single
step.
Early Childhood (3 to 5 years)
In early Childhood, our greatest untold poem was
being only four years old. We skipped ,played and ran
all day long, never in our lives so busy,busy becoming
something we had not grasped yet.
Middle and Late Childhood (6-12 years)
In Middle and Late Childhood, we were on a different plane,
belonging to a generation and a feeling properly our own. It is
the wisdom of human development that at no other time we
are more ready to learn than at the end of early childhood's
period of expensive imagination.
Adolescence (13-18 years)
In no order things was adolescence, the simple time of
life for us, we clothed ourselves with rainbows and
went brave as the zodiac flashing from one end of the
world to the other.
Early Adulthood (19-29 years)
Early Adulthood is a time for work and time for love ,
sometimes leaving little time for anything else for some of
us ,finding our place in adult society and committing to a
more stable life take longer than we imagine.
Middle Adulthood (30-60 years)
In Middle Adulthood what we have been forms that we
will be. For some of us, middle age is such a foggy
place, a time when we need to discover what we are
running from and to why.
Late Adulthood (61-years and
above)
The rhythm and meaning of human development
eventually went their way to late adulthood, when each
of us stands alone at the heart of the earth and
suddenly it is evening.
