Study Notes
Stages of Growth and Development
- Prenatal counseling should prioritize healthy eating habits both before and during pregnancy.
- Infancy (birth to 1 year) is characterized by rapid physical growth and development.
- Toddlers (1-3 years) are marked by developing autonomy, exploring their environment, and testing boundaries.
- Preschool-age children (3-5 years) are developing social skills, understanding right from wrong, and engaging in imaginative play.
- Adolescence (13-18 years) is focused on attaining independence, body image, and social acceptance, and is highly susceptible to peer pressure and risky behaviors.
- Middle adulthood (40-65 years) is a time of evaluating past achievements, finding meaning in life, and adjusting to aging and possible health challenges.
Important Considerations
- Neonatal jaundice, a yellow appearance in infants, is normal within the first few days after birth due to the breakdown of maternal red blood cells.
- Childproofing the home is crucial for toddlers.
- Skin dryness and menopausal hot flashes are expected changes during middle adulthood.
- Forgetfulness in middle adulthood could indicate a potential concern requiring further assessment.
- Alcohol use is a major concern during adolescence and should be discussed with parents.
- Understanding time is a developmental milestone for preschool-age children.
- Social skills and conflict resolution are crucial areas for preschool-age children.
- Independence is a primary concern for adolescents, and achieving it through activities such as driving can lead to increased freedom and responsibility.
- Erikson's stage of generativity vs. stagnation is relevant to middle adulthood, with individuals reflecting on their accomplishments and contributions during this period.
- Middle-aged adults may experience challenges in maintaining physical activity, due to changing physical abilities.
