    Study Notes

    Growth and Development Patterns

    • Growth proceeds from head to toe (cephalocaudal) and from the midline to the periphery (proximodistal).
    • Infancy and adolescence are periods of rapid growth.
    • Height is measured lying down (length) until age 2, then standing.
    • Birth weight doubles by 5-6 months and triples by 1 year.

    Physical Development

    • Infants have irregular abdominal breathing, an immature immune system, and developing kidney function.
    • Children have a higher metabolic rate than adults, requiring more nutrients per weight.
    • Bone growth is a key indicator of biological age and requires calcium, vitamins A and D, sunlight, and fluorine.

    Cognitive Development (Piaget)

    • Sensorimotor stage (birth-2 years): Learning through senses and motor activity.
    • Preoperational stage (2-7 years): Symbolic thinking and language development, but limited logic.
    • Concrete Operations stage (7-11 years): Logical thinking with concrete objects.
    • Formal Operations stage (11+ years): Abstract and hypothetical reasoning.

    Moral Development (Kohlberg)

    • Preconventional stage (4-7 years): Obeying rules to avoid punishment.
    • Conventional stage (7-11 years): Conforming to social rules and seeking approval.
    • Postconventional stage (12+ years): Developing personal ethical principles.

    Family Dynamics

    • Families come in diverse structures: nuclear, extended, single-parent, blended, foster, and alternative.
    • Family APGAR assesses family functioning across five dimensions: adaptation, partnership, growth, affection, and resolve.
    • Parenting is learned behavior influenced by experience, culture, and societal norms.
    • Dysfunctional families negatively impact children's physical and emotional well-being.

    Personality Development

    • Personality is a unique combination of characteristics that determines individual behavior patterns.
    • Multiple theories, including those of Maslow, Erikson, Freud, Kohlberg, Sullivan, and Piaget, offer insights into personality development.

    Nutrition

    • Optimal nutrition is essential for children to reach their full potential.
    • Cultural preferences, income, misinformation, and fads impact eating habits.
    • Nutritional needs vary across infancy, toddlerhood, school-age, and adolescence.
    • Picky eaters, restrictive diets, and overeating require careful attention.

    Play

    • Play fosters cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth.
    • Various play types include therapeutic, parallel, cooperative, symbolic, competitive, group sports, and fantasy.
    • Play evolves from exploration and imitation in infancy to complex social interactions in adolescence.

    Dental Health

    • Deciduous teeth begin forming in utero and are influenced by the mother's health.
    • The first tooth appears around 6-7 months, and a full set of primary teeth by 2.5 years.
    • Age-appropriate dental hygiene practices start with gentle cleaning in infancy.
    • Dietary sugar significantly contributes to tooth decay.

    Dental Health: Nursing Caries

    • Nursing caries are caused by prolonged exposure to milk or sugary drinks, especially at bedtime.
    • They can be prevented by avoiding putting infants to bed with a bottle and practicing good oral hygiene.

    Growth and Development Patterns

    • Growth follows predictable stages, though individual differences exist.
    • Cephalocaudal development: Growth occurs from head to toe.
    • Proximodistal development: Growth occurs from the midline to the periphery.
    • Rapid growth periods: Infancy and adolescence are marked by accelerated growth.
    • Height is measured lying down (length) until age 2, then standing.
    • Birth weight doubles by 5-6 months and triples by 1 year.

    Physical Development

    • Infants have irregular abdominal breathing, an immature immune system, and developing kidney function.
    • Children have a higher metabolic rate than adults, requiring more nutrients per body weight.
    • Bone growth is a key indicator of biological age, requiring calcium, vitamins A and D, sunlight, and fluorine.

    Cognitive Development

    • Piaget identified four stages of cognitive development:
      • Sensorimotor (birth - 2 years): Learning through senses and motor activity.
      • Preoperational (2 - 7 years): Symbolic thinking and language development, but logic is limited.
      • Concrete Operations (7 - 11 years): Logical thinking with concrete objects.
      • Formal Operations (11+ years): Abstract and hypothetical reasoning.

    Moral Development

    • Kohlberg identified three stages of moral development:
      • Preconventional (4 - 7 years): Obeying rules to avoid punishment.
      • Conventional (7 - 11 years): Conforming to social rules and seeking approval.
      • Postconventional (12+ years): Developing personal ethical principles.

    Family Dynamics

    • Family structures are diverse: Nuclear, extended, single-parent, blended, foster, alternative.
    • Family APGAR assesses family functioning across adaptation, partnership, growth, affection, and resolve.

    Nutrition

    • Optimal nutrition is essential for children to reach their full potential.
    • Dietary influences include cultural preferences, income, misinformation, and fads.
    • Feeding stages: Unique nutritional needs across infancy, toddlerhood, school-age, and adolescence.
    • Feeding challenges: Picky eaters, restrictive diets, and overeating require careful attention.

    Play

    • Play is essential for cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth.
    • Types of play: Therapeutic, parallel, cooperative, symbolic, competitive, group sports, fantasy.
    • Play evolves from exploration and imitation in infancy to complex social interactions in adolescence.
