    Study Notes

    Developmental Principles

    • The principle of proximodistal development describes the development of body parts from the center of the body outwards (e.g., torso, arms, hands, fingers, and legs).

    Cephalocaudal Principle

    • According to the cephalocaudal principle, children gain control of their head and neck first, followed by their arms, and then their legs.

    Motor Development

    • Children typically gain control of their legs and start to crawl, stand, or walk at around 12-18 months of age.

    Proximodistal Development

    • According to the principle of proximodistal development, the torso develops before the extremities (arms, legs, hands, and feet), and the arms and legs develop before the fingers and toes.

    Cognitive Development

    • Classification is an important ability related to learning similarities between things, allowing children to group objects based on shared characteristics.
