Five characteristics of human development form a life-span perspective and their implications
to child care, education and parenting.

Characteristics of human Implications to child care, education and parenting

development from a life-
span perspective
1. Development is Lifelong.
This aspect of the life span concept says that growth continues after a
person pass away. When a child is young, they are often quite curious
and this curiosity lasts until they begin school. As kid get older, their
education helps them flourish even after they become parents. As long
as a person as alive, development continues.
2.Development is plastic. This life span perspective trait implies that change happens during
development. Children at daycare go through significant changes, which
naturally affects their requirements. To ensure the welfare of a kid, their
needs must be met. Learning in the educational context refers to
undergoing change. Regardless of age, changes via development
happen, no matter how tiny the change may be. Having stated that,
education shouldn't be biased. Improvement in parenting brought about
by any conscious attempt to assist parents in providing better care for
the growth of their children. One's parenting style should change and
adapt as the child grows to meet their demands.
3.Development is Multi- This life-span viewpoint trait means that a person's physical, mental,
Dimensional. and socioemotional growth are all rooted in one another. In child care,
external forces should be used to encourage children's physical
development, such as offering healthy foods to eat and launching
exercises. For the children's mental development, the environment
should be healthy and they should be taught meditation. They should
strengthen their social and emotional skills by learning how to make
friends. Education also includes it because it teaches people how to
improve their physical changes and how to adhere to them. As a result,
intelligence and language are enhanced, and relationships are common
at school. However, parenting is nearly identical to child care, with the
exception that the focus is on the physical, mental, and socioemotional
needs of the kid.
4.Development is This characteristic of life-span perspective implies that development is
Contextual. based on a person's background such as their culture, beliefs, and
physical environment. In child care, for example, most of the time when
a guardian is strict, the child responds to them with fear. The child then
will probably develop into a parent who will do the same to his or her
children. See that child-care reflects on what we experienced while
being a child. In education, we respond to challenges of it differently.
Someone who lives with many riches will probably not have the
 motivation to study, and the someone who lived without fortune may be
more motivated to study. In parenting , just like in child-care, parents
are plausible to practice their response to what they have experienced
when they were in the position of being a child.
5.Development is growth, This aspect of the life-span perspective suggests that development
maintenance and regulation . consists of growth, maintenance, and regulation. Since childcare growth
is primarily visible through physical changes, maintaining and regulating
the act of consuming healthy foods should be put into practice.
Maintaining appropriate study habits and controlling the knowledge
input are formed since in school, growth is signified by the knowledge
one has obtained. As one feels the urge to improve as a parent, progress
in parenting becomes evident, necessitating upkeep in terms of physical
fitness and mental attitude control.
