    The Healthy Child: Stages of G & D

    INFANT (1 month to 1year)

    A. Psychosocial

    Development

    Depends on the

    quality ofrelationship b/w

    caregiver and infant.

    If needs are met

    consistently, itresults in feelings of

    physical comfort and

    emotional security.

    Infants to love andbe loved.

    INFANT (1 month to 1year)

    B. Physical Growth and Developmentthere israpid gain in physical size & maturation. Length grows 20 inches at birth; 30 inches at 1

    year (50% increase by 1 year): grows 1 inch everymonth for 6 months, then inch every month duringthe last 6 months.

    Weightgains 1 Ibs/month; doubles body weightby 5-6 months; triples body weight by 1 year.

    MAJOR NEONATAL REFLEXES

    REFLEX DESCRIPTION

    Rooting Turning the mouth and nose in the direction of any facial

    touch

    Sucking Using the tongue and mouth to take in liquid or food

    Swallowing Movement of throat muscles to push food from mouth to

    esophagus

    Grasp Firm contraction of hand muscles around an object

    Babinski When foot stroked, toes fan upward and outward

    Moro When startled, arms and legs swing quickly out, then

    immediately back and neonate curls up into a ball

  • 8/11/2019 Develop Growth New 09

    8/92

    REFLEX DESCRIPTION

    Smiling Turning lips upward; neonate looks happy

    Blinking Rapid closing and opening of eyelids

    Sneezing A violent, spasmodic, sudden expiration of breath

    Coughing Explosively expelling air from the lungs

    Crying Making a loud, wailing sound

    Tonic neck When head is turned to side, arm and leg on same side are

    extended in a fencing postureExtrusion Tongue pushes outward when touched by an object at the

    tip

    Head turning Moving face to one side or the other when airway is

    blocked by a surface such as a bed or pillow

    Toileting Practiceslearning bowel & bladdercontrol is one of the major tasks of toddler hood.

    Uses toileting activities to control self & others. 18 monthshas bowel control

    2 to 3 yearshas day time bladder control

    3 to 4 yearshas night time bladder control

    Limit Setting & Discipline Help child to learn self-control and socially

    appropriate behavior

    Discipline should occur immediately after wrongdoing;be firm and consistent when enforcing limits;disapprove of the behavior not the child.

    Positive approach is best

    Common Accidentsfalls, poisonous ingestion,burns

    and drowning.

    Stuttering Is fairly common among toddlers and pre-schooler.

    Parents should ignore stuttering so that the child doesnot become anxious.

    Sleep Requires 9 to 12 hours sleep each night.

    Sleep problems are most common.

    Child may awaken with nightmares and may havefears of the dark.

    Play (cooperative) Purposehelp child to share and play in small

    groups; learns simple games & rules, languageconcepts & social roles. Play maybe creative,imitative and dramatic

    Types:dolls, dress-up clothes, housekeeping toys,wagons, tricycle, picture books, jigsaw puzzles,materials for cutting, pasting and painting.

    SCHOOL AGE (6 TO 12 YEARS)A. Psychosocial Developmentdevelops a sense ofcompetency and esteem academically, physically &socially; assumes more responsibility. Gainscompetency in mastering new skills and tasks.>

    More responsive to peers; has best friends; desire foraccomplishment so strong that young school child may tryto change rules of game to win.

    School phobiasmay occur as a result of increasecompetition and desire to succeed.

    B. Physical G & D Height: growth is slow & regular (1-2 inch gain in height per

    year); Females usually taller than males.

    Weight: 3 to 6 Ibs weight gain per year.

    ADOLESCENT (12-20 YEARS OLD)

    Begins at puberty and ends when

    physical maturity is achieved. It is an essential period in sexual

    development and formation of

    personality.

    Asks, Who am I? What do I want to

    do with life?

    YOUNG AND MIDDLE ADULTHOOD

    Developmental state and function characterized by

    self-sufficiency in pursuit or occupation/vocation and

    defined interpersonal relationships.

    Physical/cognitive

    Stabilized growth rate (weight is variable) and

    functioning

    Refines formal operational abilities

    Undergoes menopause

    Begins physical degeneration

    PsychosocialDevelops self-sufficiency

    Pursues vocation/occupation

    Has intense interpersonal relationships (most

    frequently marriage and children)

    LATE ADULTHOOD

    Physical / cognitive Has general slowing of physical and cognitive

    functioning

    Psychosocial

    Needs to establish highest degree of

    independence (self-sufficiency) physically

    possible by adopting environment to ability.

    Reflects on life accomplishments, events andexperiences

    Continues interpersonal relationships despite

    changes and loss.

    Physiology of Growth

    Each organism starts as a single cell

    Process of development and differentiation Results in mature individual with many trillion cells

    The Phenomenon of Growth

    Animal growth

    Starts with single cell

    By birthindividual has most of same physical

    characteristics as an adult True growthincrease in amount of protein and mineral in

    the body

    Fat (adipose) and water accumulation not part of true

    growth

  • 8/11/2019 Develop Growth New 09

    19/92

    The Phenomenon of Growth

    Wide variation within species

    e.g. Clydesdale and Shetland pony are very

    different in size

    Different parts of body grow at different rates after

    birth

    Growth and Development of Humans

    Childhoodrapid growth continues to ~ 2 yr

    Starts to level off until growth spurt in adolescence

    Growth generally stops by age 18-20

    Maximum height generally at ~ age 26

    Gradual decrease in height afterward

    Due to decrease in cartilage pad thickness

    The Cell is the Unit of Growth

    Growth results from increase in:

    Cell numberhyperplasia

    Cell sizehypertrophy

    Hyperplasiaresults in increase in DNA

    Number of cells increases so amount of

    chromosomal material increases

    Hypertrophyresults in increase in protein

    From increase in amount of cytoplasm

  • 8/11/2019 Develop Growth New 09

    The Cell is the Unit of Growth

    Three different types of cells are found

    Permanent cellscease dividing at embryo stage

    Stable cellscontinue to divide during growth but

    cease division at adult stage

    Labile cellscontinue to divide and differentiate

    throughout life

  • 8/11/2019 Develop Growth New 09

    The Cell is the Unit of Growth

    Cell division at maturity

    Cell number remains relatively constant

    each cell division results in one viable daughter cell and one

    daughter cell which is lost

    Cancer Cells

    Restraints on cell division are largely

    removed so uncontrolled growth

    Growth and Development of

    Muscle, Fat and Bone

    Muscle cellsform through unique series

    of events

    Cells which will become muscle cells

    (myogenic cells) divide many times until

    becoming a myoblast

    Myoblasts fuse to form myotubes

    Further growth of muscle due to hypertrophy

  • 8/11/2019 Develop Growth New 09

    Growth and Development of

    Muscle, Fat and Bone

    Fatconsists of adipose cells and

    connective tissue

    Adipocytemature adipose cell

    Adipocyteresults from maturation of

    immature cell called adipoblast.

    Fat tissue increases and decreases by

    changing size of adipocytes

    Growth and Development of

    Muscle, Fat and Bone

    Two types of fat tissue

    White fatmost fat in mature individuals

    depot of stored energy

    Brown fatfound in newborn animals or

    hibernating animals very active and helpful in maintaining body temperature (very

    important in newborns)

    Growth and Development of

    Muscle, Fat and Bone

    Bone - ~50% mineral: 50% organic material and

    water

    Bone formed by interaction of three cell types

    Chondrocytescells that produce cartilage

    Osteoblastsproduce bone collagen

    Osteoclastsbreak down bone during resorption

    Bones grow by ossification at the epiphysial plate

    Bones stop growing when completely ossified

    Periods of Growth

    Growth generally divided into two periods:

    Prenatalprior to birth

    Post natalafter birth

  • 8/11/2019 Develop Growth New 09

    Prenatal Growth

    Between fertilization and birth

    Fertilizationunion of sperm and egg

    Single celldiploid number of chromosomes

    Two complete sets of chromosomes

    One set of chromosomes from each parent

    Fertilized egg begins to divide

    Rate varies widely among species

    Prenatal Growth

    Differentiation into various structures and

    organs begins early in pregnancy

    Morphogenesis (organogenesis)

    Organization of cells into specialized organs

  • 8/11/2019 Develop Growth New 09

    Prenatal Growth

    Size of off spring at birth

    Controlled by genes supplied by both parents

    Also controlled heavily by uterine

    environment

    small mothers will have small offspring even if genes from sire

    would promote large birth weight

    Postnatal Growth

    Growth follows a sigmoid (S-shaped) curve in

    virtually every animal and plant species

    Growth very rapid to about 1/3 to 1/2 of mature

    weight

    Starts to level off until mature size is reached

  • 8/11/2019 Develop Growth New 09

    Hormonal Control of Growth

    Many hormones involved in growth

    regulation

    Growth hormone (GH) (somatotropin)Secreted by anterior pituitary

    Protein hormone

    Removal of pituitary causes growth to stop

    injection of pituitary extracts will cause growth to resume

    Principles of Human Growth and Development

    Growth in an Organism is that

    structural change which increases its

    level of functioning in specific ways,although the potential for some

    different but related function may be

    concomitantly decreased.

    Areas of Development

    The most observable of the

    developmental processes is that of

    physical development. Beginning in

    utero on conception and is

    influenced by the environment

    provided by the mother.

    Approx 2,50,000 babies are born inUS every year with birth defects

    most being preventable defects.

    Bonding

    The forming of the attachment with

    another person, can begin immediately

    after birth, forming the bases of a lifetime

    relationship. Skin contact, cuddling,touching, stroking, eye contact, and

    talking are all functions of the bonding

    practice.

    Greater the length of time involved in thebonding process, greater the chances for

    a strong, positive, trusting relationship in

    the future.

    Its applicable to both fatherand the

    mother.

    Early Childhood (0 to 5 years)

    The foundation for all of the childs future growth &

    learning becomes well established at this time.

    Will attain half of their future height by age 2+.

    By age 4, childs IQ will be stable enough to predictthe IQ at age 17.

    By age 5, the child has 75% of their ultimate brain

    weight and 90% of it by age 6.

    At 5 the child is energetic, active and uses the

    large muscles fairly well.

    Age 6 to 12, physical growth slows down

    considerably, bodily proportions continue to

    change, large muscle development continues and

    greater small muscle refinement.

    Adolescence

    Adolescence, from a purely physical

    sense, begins with the prepubertal growth

    spurt and ends with the attainment of full

    physical maturity. Skeletal growth is complete, total height

    being attained, and upper limits of

    genetic potential for endocrine

    development have been reached. Adolescents have both the pleasure and

    the pain of being the direct observers of

    the entire process.

    Problems in Genetic Instruction

    Genetic disorders result in major physical problems and/or mentalretardation Chromosome abnormalitiesuneven division of chromosomes during

    meiosis 1 in 150 births may result in:

    An extra chromosome

    A missing chromosome

    A wrongly formed chromosome Single-gene defects- inherited from one or both parents

    Common chromosomal and genetic disorders include : Down Syndromeextra 21stchromosome

    Klinefelter Syndromeboys only; XXY

    Turner Syndromegirls only; X chromosome, missing second

  • 8/11/2019 Develop Growth New 09

    88/92

    Period of the Embryo (week 2 - 8)

    Major body structures and life support are formed Placenta grows - forms umbilical cord

    Provides food, liquid, oxygen

    Removes waste

    Secretes hormones to sustain embryonic growth

    Embryo develops Head and heart

    From top to bottom (head first, feet last)

    From inside to outside (torso before limbs, arms and legs beforehands and feet)

    Neural tube (eventual brain and spinal cord) forms Internal organs appear

    Buds and limbs develop

    Fingers and toes are recognizable at 8 weeks

    Period of the Fetus (week 9 to birth)

    Period of the Fetus(week 9 to birth) Grows in size and weight, sensory abilities, brain

    structures and organs needed for survival

    Third month Head is large, slows growth

    Eyes move into place; increasingly human-looking

    Genitalia form

    Reflex and muscular movement (although not felt)

    Four month Rapid growth in length (height)

    Slow weight increase Hair growth on head and eyebrows

    Fifth month Rapid growth in length (height) continues

    Fine hair growth covers body

    Movement is felt by mother

    Sixth month (avg. weight 1 lb. 13 oz.) Skin is red and wrinkled; body is lean; fingernails are evident

    Development of respiratory and central nervous system continues Seventh month (avg. weight 2 lb. 14 oz.)

    Eyes open; eyelashes and toenails form

    Body fills out

    Eighth month (avg. weight 4 lb. 10 oz.) Skin becomes pink and smooth; fat growths beneath skin

    Testes descend (in males)
