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.
By age ten, social skills emerge, including making friends and cooperation.

Adolescence (Ages 11-18)

Transitional stage known as the teenage years; significant bodily changes occur.
