Study Notes
Stages of Growth and Development
- Human life cycle includes distinct stages: Infancy, Childhood, Adolescence, and Adulthood.
- Reproductive system and organs develop during puberty, the transitional phase to adulthood.
Infancy (0 to 2 years)
- Rapid growth with significant mass gain; first stage of life characterized by helplessness.
- Dependent on parents for sustenance and protection; crying, squirming, and smiling are common behaviors.
- Infants begin recognizing faces, voices, and smells.
- Muscle strength increases; baby teeth emerge.
- Milestones include learning to sit, crawl, stand, and walk.
- Brain development leads to early speech, signaling rapid learning.
Childhood (Ages 3-10)
- Emphasizes mental and emotional development; children explore independence.
- Language skills develop, with children speaking in short sentences.
- Key activities include drawing, reading, writing, and counting.
- Enjoyment of play and physical activities; muscle coordination improves.
- Children invent games and stories, enriching imagination.

Adolescence (Ages 11-18)
- Transitional stage known as the teenage years; significant bodily changes occur.
