Growth - Correct Answer - refers to specific body changes and increases
in the child's size, such as a child's height, weight, head circumference, and
body mass index. These size changes can usually be easily measured.
Development - Correct Answer - typically refers to an increase in
complexity, a change from relatively simple to more complicated.
Development usually involves a progression along a continuous pathway
on which the child acquires more refined knowledge, behaviors, and skills.
The sequence is basically the same for all children, however, the rate
varies.
Similarities in growth: - Correct Answer - >Growth proceeds from the head
downward and from the center of the body outward.
>Children gain control of the head and neck first, then the arms, and finally,
the legs.
>At birth, the brain, heart, and spinal cord are fully functioning to support
the infant.
>As children grow, the arm and leg muscles develop, followed by the finger
and toe muscles.
,Differences in growth: - Correct Answer - >Some children are taller, some
shorter. Some children are smaller, while others are larger.
>These differences are completely typical. Typical growth is supported by
good nutrition, adequate sleep, and regular exercise.
>Children do not grow at perfectly steady rates throughout childhood.
>Children will experience weeks or months of slightly slower growth,
followed by growth spurts.
>Differences in the amount of growth can be a source of self-
consciousness for some children.
*are typical
If you detect that a child is self-conscious about his/her size, how would
you help him/her work on increasing his/her self-acceptance? - Correct
Answer - Either individually or with a group of children, talk about how
things are different but equally important and valuable. You could use the
example of a litter of puppies or kittens that are different colors and sizes,
both larger and smaller. While they are different, they are all special and
will grow into wonderful dogs or cats. You could also use different fruits,
kinds of ice cream—and finally differences in people—to help the child or
children understand that differences are not bad, but rather make each
person special.
If you have some concern about a growth-related issue involving a child,
how would you approach this issue with the parent(s)? - Correct Answer -
Share information about typical growth patterns with the parent(s). You may
wish to share it with all your parents. After going over this information with
, the parent(s), you could ask them if they have any questions or concerns
and if they have had any discussions with the child's doctor. If you detect
the parent(s) have not had much interaction with a doctor and do not
connect the growth information with their child, gently explain your
concerns and have available local resources for medical care if the family
needs that assistance. Make sure all discussions occur in a calm and
confidential manner.
Principle 1 - Developmental Sequence is Similar for All - Correct Answer -
>Children develop in relatively the same ways.
>There is a typical sequence of development that occurs as a child grows.
>While the sequence is similar, and the behaviors or skills emerge in the
same order, children can take more or less time with each behavior or skill.
>They can move forward, regress for a short time, then move forward
again.
>Some children may skip a behavior or skill as they move forward.
Principle 2 - Development Proceeds from General to Specific - Correct
Answer - >Development progresses from a beginning point moving in a
forward direction.
>Just as growth of an infant proceeds from the top down and from the
center of the body to the limbs, development of behaviors and skills moves
from general to specific.
>As children mature, their bodily changes occur in a sequential order and
give children new abilities.
>As the brain and nervous system develop, a child's thinking (cognitive)
skills and motor skills improve.
