As humans, we undergo different degrees in life, or what we call the 12
stages of human development (Developmental Psychology).

3. PRE-BIRTH
This stage marks the beginning of a conception process of a mother to her child.
Often known as Prenatal development wherein it occurs during the 40 weeks
before the birth of a child. There are three stages of prenatal development:
germinal (conception until 10 to 14 days later), embryonic (two to eight weeks
after the conception), and fetal (from two months after conception until about
nine months).

4. BIRTH
From the fetal period up to the time organ systems have matured
to the point at which life sustains outside the womb, childbirth
begins. And when a child is born, it inspires in its parents and
other caregivers a sense of optimism. New life symbolizes new
hope. The newborn child gives us the optimism that helps us
make the world a better place to live.

5. Infancy
Ages 0-3 years old
From birth up to the first three years of a child, infants had
some basic reflexes already, like crying, grasping, and
kicking. Infancy is the period of most rapid growth after birth.
Hence, it is vital to develop physical, cognitive, and
socioemotional skills since it will help determine the infant’s
personality later.

6. EarlyChildhood
Ages 3-6 years old
Early childhood is the stage where the remarkable growth with
brain development is at its peak. The physical, intellectual,
emotional, and social aspects of a child also begin to develop.
Children in this stage are often highly influenced by the
environment and the people that surround them.

12 Stages of Human Development
middleChildhood
Ages 6-8 years old
The child starts to establish independence little by little from the family.
And their interests with the other kids the same ages as them, are also
shown. The middle childhood stage is a significant time for gaining a
sense of responsibility. This stage is also part of where the child absorbs
a lot of information from its surroundings. Thus, the thinking and learning
capacity starts to improve abruptly.

8. LATEChildhood
Ages 9-11 years old
The first signs of puberty usually begin to appear in late childhood.
This stage is where most of the structural parts of the brain change.
The motor skills of the children become much smoother and more
coordinated. They became more active in physical activities like
tying shoelaces, learning how to ride a bike, and playing sports.

12 Stages of Human Development
Adolescence
Ages 12-20 years old
Adolescence is the transitional stage between childhood and
adulthood. This stage shows the clear signs of puberty. Growth
spurt occurs, secondary sexual characteristics appear, achieved
fertility (the ability to produce children), and profound psychological
changes. And also, full cognitive maturity would eventually bloom.

EarlyAdulthood
Ages 20-35
Autonomy starts to show in this stage. The self tries to establish independently
as a person incapable and responsible for his or her own life. The self-identity
(life principles, philosophies, career goals, likes, and dislikes) also starts to
nourish. And building relationships (long-term and close relationships) with
other people would be vital in this stage.

12 Stages of Human Development
midlife
Ages 35-50 years old
Noticeable physical changes start to appear in this stage. Among
these changes are the loss of skin elasticity, weight gain, or weight
loss, muscle strength, and flexibility. Midlife is also the stage where
crisis within the self is very sensitive. Thus, the infamous midlife
crisis, a time of reevaluation that leads to questioning long‐held
beliefs and values.

matureadulthood
Ages 50-80 years old
Mature adulthood is the stage where most adults usually
have achieved most of their life goals. These goals include
establishing a stable career or work life, have nurtured their
own families. From the name itself, mature adulthood is the
stage where adults have fully achieved maturity.

12 Stages of Human Development
LATEAdulthood
Age 80+
Profound physical changes will begin to take a toll on a body of an
adult. These changes may include aging, wrinkles, and brown age
spots on the skin. Eyesight will also start to deteriorate, and reaction
time begins to slow. But, the significant experiences of an adult are a
guide for the younger ones. That is why elders are usually the
epitome of wisdom.

DeathandDying
Death and dying are inevitable, the stage where life stops. It
comes in different forms, such as aging, health issues, and
accidents. Since it is a natural process, it is also the only
thing that makes us all equal. It gives us the thought that we
should not take our lives for granted and live each moment to
its fullest.
