1. Specific body changes and increases in the child's size such as a child's
height, weight, head circumference and BMI ANS >>> Growth
2. An increase in complexity, a change from relatively simple to more compli-
cated and involves progression where child gains refined knowledge, behav-
iors and skills. ANS >>> Development
3. The following are between children in growth ANS >>>
1. growth proceeds from head down
2. control of head and neck first, then arms, then legs
3. brain, heart and spinal cord are fully functional at birth
4. arm and leg muscles first then fingers and toes ANS >>> Similarities between
children in growth

, 2. Development proceeds from general to specific
3. Development is continuous
4. Development proceeds at different rates
5. All areas of development are interrelated ANS >>> 5 basic principles of child
growth and development
5. Principle ANS >>> children develop in relatively the same ways,
there is a typical sequence of development that occurs as the child grows,
behaviors and skills emerge in the same order ANS >>> Principle 1
6. Principle ANS >>> body changes in a sequence and gives new
abilities; as brain develops, cognitive skills improve ANS >>> Principle 2
7. Principle ANS >>> there is continuity from one phase of development
to the next, children continue to add behaviors as they perfect others (ex ANS
>>> language; cooing --> words) ANS >>> Principle 3
8. Principle ANS >>> sequence of development is the same but the
rate is different, development is constant but not uniform ANS >>>
Principle 4
9. Principle ANS >>> the developmental domains influence development
in other areas. ANS >>> Principle 5
10. A set of ideas of facts principles analyzed in relation to one another and
used to explain a phenomena. ANS >>> Theory
11. Who came up with the following and what is it called?
