Development Proceeds at Different Rates
•Each child is different and the rates at which individual children develop are different.•Although the sequences for development are usually the same for all children, the rates at which individual children reach each stage will be different.•Development is never uniform, but it is constant.
Differences in growth
Differences are completely typical. Typical growth is supported by good nutrition, adequate sleep, and regular exercise
Explain the difference between growth and development

Development is Continuous
•In children who develop typically, behaviors and skills they have already acquired become the basis for new behaviors and skills.•Children continue to add new behaviors and skills as they perfect their abilities to walk, to write or draw, and to speak. •The continuation of development can easily be seen in children as they mature from age two to age twelve.
Why should child care professionals learn about principles of child development?
Care and the environment can support or hinder development.•The knowledgeable caregiver can support a child in learning new skills.•When a child is struggling with a new skill, timely intervention can help him overcome a problem and “catch back up.”•The knowledgeable caregiver can “detect” indicators of possible delays, and can help get the child the assistance he needs.

Development Proceeds from General to Specific
•Development progresses from a beginning point moving in a forward direction.•Just as growth of an infant proceeds from the top down and from the center of the body to the limbs, development of behaviors and skills moves from general to specific.•Development continues in the smaller muscles in the fingers and toes, and results in the ability of the fingers to grasp objects and the toes to help with balance when standing and walking.15PG – 4Child Growth and Development

What does the hierarchy of needs mean to you as a childcare professional
Basic needs must be met first. When basic needs are notmet, the child’s self-worth suffers.–Neglect can occur at all levels, not just basic needs. All needs are important.–Child care professionals need to be aware of the family circumstances of each child in order to understand what needs are being met at home.
Developmental Sequence is Similar for All
•Children develop in relatively the same ways.•There is a typical sequence of development that occurs as a child grows.•While the sequence is similar, and the behaviors or skills emerge in the same order, children can take more or less time with each behavior or skill.
Define growth as specific body changes and increases in the child’s size.
Growth is defined as specific body changes and increases in the child's size, proceeding from the head downward and from the center of the body outward. ... Growth proceeds from the head downward and from the center of the body outward.
