Child Growth and Development

Description

For anyone working with children, whether as parents or teachers, the study of child development is of utmost importance. The book follows a child's growth from the prenatal embryonic stage forward, focusing on their intellectual (cognitive), emotional (co-native), social, and moral development as well as their physical growth, as these are all crucial components of a child's personality. In addition, the importance of both nature and nurture has been emphasized from the prenatal to the adolescent stages. Kid development is the progression of physical, linguistic, cognitive, and emotional changes that take place in a child from birth until the start of adulthood. Youngster moves from dependence on their parents or guardians to increased independence during this period. Events during pregnancy and genetic variables (genes passed down from parents) significantly impact a child's development. Environmental facts and the child's learning capacity also have an impact. Through focused therapy intervention and the ideal home-based practice suggested by occupational therapists and speech therapists, child development can be actively increased. The biological and psychological changes that take place in people between birth and the end of adolescence as they transition from dependence to growing autonomy are referred to as child development. Genetics and prenatal development are frequently discussed together since genetic factors and experiences may significantly influence these developmental changes during the prenatal period. This book aims to make it easier for researchers, teachers, and students to navigate the enormous body of literature on child development and behaviour that has been produced.
