Prenatal Period
From Conception To Birth
Developmental Task.
There are three stages of prenatal development: the
germinal, embryonic, and fetal stages. The first
two weeks after conception are known as the
germinal stage, the third through the eighth week
is known as the embryonic period, and the time
from the ninth week until birth is known as the
fetal period.
INFANCY
From birth to 18-24 months
Developmental Task.
At 18-24 months, expect new and complex emotions,
pretend play, independence, walking, a lot of new
words, and more. Activities that are good for toddler
development include talking and listening, reading,
working on everyday skills, and playing outside and
with others.
Early Childhood
(5-6 Years Grade 1)End of infancy
Developmental Task.
5-6 years: child development. Even as children start
school, family relationships are still the most important
influence on child development. At 5-6 years, you can
expect tricky emotions, independence, friendships, and
social play, plenty of talk, improved physical
coordination, and more.
Middle And Late Childhood
(6-11 Years )
6-12 years of age the elementary years,
Development task
Middle and late childhood spans the ages between early
childhood and adolescence, approximately ages 6 to 11
years. Children gain greater control over the movement
of their bodies, mastering many gross and fine motor
skills that eluded the younger child. Changes in the
brain during this age enable not only physical
development, but contributes to greater reasoning and
flexibility of thought. School becomes a big part of
middle and late childhood, and it expands their world
beyond the boundaries of their own family.
Adolescence (13-18 Years)
Adolescence (13-18 Years) high school years
Developmental Task
The teenage years are also called
adolescence. Adolescence is a time for growth
spurts and puberty changes. An adolescent may
grow several inches in several months followed by
a period of very slow growth, then have another
growth spurt. Changes with puberty (sexual
maturation) may happen gradually or several signs
may become visible at the same time.
Early Adulthood
Age 20-35
Developmental Tasks
These include: Achieving autonomy: trying to
establish oneself as an independent person with a
life of one's own. Establishing identity: more
firmly establishing likes, dislikes, preferences, and
philosophies. Developing emotional stability:
becoming more stable emotionally which is
considered a sign of maturing.
Middle Adulthood
Age 40-60
Developmental Tasks
Middle adulthood is the time for expanding personal
and social involvement and responsibilities. It is the
time at which assisting new generation in becoming
competent and mature individuals. It is the time for
reaching and maintaining satisfaction in a career. And it
is a time when there is a decline in physical skills and
balancing of work and relationship occurs.
Late Adulthood
Ages 60 Above
Developmental Tasks
Late adulthood spans the time when we reach our mid-
sixties until death. This is the longest developmental
stage across the lifespan. In this chapter, we will
consider the growth in numbers for those in late
adulthood, how that number is expected to change in
the future, and the consequences this will have for both
the United States and the world.
