Document Summary
Chapter 2 of developmental profiles: pre-birth though adolescence. Growth: growth is specific physical changes and increases in the child"s size. Optimal growth is a sign of good wellness and health, whereas growth deficits can be a sign of poor wellness and health. Development: development is an increase in complexity, or a child"s ability to learn particular skills. If milestones are not being met at appropriate time, it raises concern: sequences of development: children"s development typically happens in a certain sequence, or in stages. However, it is normal at times for development to lag at times or happen out of order: age-level expectancies or norms: different levels of chronological development all have age ranges that are considered typical. The average age of development is considered a norm: organization and reorganization: development happens in a series of phases where spurts of rapid growth and development are often followed by a period of disorganization.
