Document Summary
Chapter 8 physical and cognitive development in early childhood. Physical development in children is overall uneven from ages 1-5; different domains progress at different rates. Ex: a little kid might know a huge amount about dinosaurs, but might not be able to remember a list of his/her favorite toys. Physical growth: initially very rapid growth from newborn until age 3 where growth slows to 2 - 3 inches per year: gross and fine motor abilities, gross motor skills big body movements that involve use of. Ex: running, kicking, walking large muscles in the arms, legs, torso, and feet. Ex: tying shoes in the brain, it requires use of the frontal lobe, prefrontal cortex (decision-making) and the corpus callosum connection to coordinate this action. Motor milestones of early childhood: age 2, gross motor skills: walks well; runs; goes up and down stairs alone; kicks ball.
