Child growth and development Exam
Questions and Answers
Key point: - Answer-Growth is defined as a specific body changes and increase in the
childs size. Growth proceeds from the head downward and from the center of the body
outward. Children differ in their growth.

Principles of child development - Answer-Development typically refers to an increase in
complexity, a change from relatively simple to more complicated . Development usually
involves a progression along a continuous sequential 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.

Principle 1 - developmental sequence is similar for all - 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 les 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 - 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 develops, a child's thinking cognitive skills and motor
physical skills improve.
-In motor development, an infant's large muscles develop first and result in the ability to
wave the arms and kick the legs.
-Development continues in the smaller muscles in the fingers and toes and results in the
ability of the fingers to grasp objects and the toes to help with balance when standing
and walking.

Principle 3- development is continuous - Answer--In children who develop normally,
behaviors and skills they have already acquired become the basis for new behaviors
and skills.
-there is continuity from one phase of development to the next.
-Children continue to add new behaviors and skills as they perfect their ability to walk, to
write or draw and to speak. For example, speech development proceeds from gurgles
and cools to chattering, then to words, then phrases and finally sentences. Sentences
become paragraphs and stories, both oral and written.
