Document Summary

Cld103 week 2: physical development and health in early childhood (chapter 8) The brain: physical size: height and weight, physical growth includes the brains. Height & weight: children grow rapidly between ages 3 and 6, muscular and skeletal growth progresses, making children stronger, males are often taller and weigh more, prenatally, during infancy and toddlerhood, growth is exponential. Bed-wetting & toilet training: daytime sleep decreases and stops at approximately age 4-5, nighttime sleep increases at age 2, levels off and begins increasing again due to less daytime sleep. Enuresis runs in families, and identical twins are more likely to be concordant for this behaviour than fraternal twins. Wanting the toy, but not being able to physically get it. Handedness: preference for using a particular hand, boys are more likely to be left-handed than girls. Increased likelihood of left-handedness is related to: low birth weight, difficult deliveries.
