Growth & DevelopmentUnit Four: Parenting
P.I.E.S + M -- Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Social
and Moral Development
Physical Growth & Development• Involves the actual growth of all body tissues• Bones, muscles, organs and body systems become bigger and able to perform more complex actions• Fine motor skills – based on the growth of
small muscles (fingers)• Gross motor skills – based on the growth of large muscles (legs & arms)
Intellectual Growth & Development• Learning depends on brain growth and
stimulation of the brain and central nervous system by the five senses
• Brain growth during the earliest years of life is critical to cognitive development (ability to understand and learn)
Emotional Growth & Development• Emotional development is the process of
developing positive feelings about oneself, family, friends and the world.
• Every child is born with a temperament (sensitive, placid, aggressive)
• Children need to develop a full range of feelings and learn to handle the feelings appropriately
Social Development
• Social development progresses from being completely self-centered and dependent as an infant to becoming an independent adult
• Mature social skills include being able to make and keep friends, form intimate relationships, get along with others, function as an individual and as part of a team.
Social Development…con’t
• Social development depends a lot on the relationship (attachment) that is formed with the child’s primary care providers
Moral Development
• Process of learning right from wrong
• Caring behaviour is rooted in biology (we are wired to be caring)
• Nurturing environment encourages moral behaviour
Parents need to be nurturing for best development• Healthy and positive human growth and
development depend on nurturing relationships.
• Nurturing relationships include three (3) elements: – Comfort– Play – Teach
Comfort• Children may become frustrated,
anxious or overwhelmed• Parents/caregiver must use appropriate
response to help the child• Gentle rocking and soothing are
appropriate for infant/toddler• Calming words may be more appropriate for older children
Play• Play exercises a growing body and mind
• Provides a way to express emotions and develop socially
• Parents/caregivers who play with children contribute to the child’s development while strengthening their relationship
Teach
• Teaching provides children with the “know-how” to accomplish important tasks
• Ex: A parent can teach a child to climb the stairs safely
