Childhood- six years to 12 years
Adolescence- 13 years to 18 years
Early Adulthood- 19-45 years
Middle Adulthood- 46- 65 years
Late Adulthood- 65+
Stages of Development

6. Have you met your
objectives?

7. Small Group Research
• Infancy:- Use the books to find out about
Social, physical, intellectual and emotional
development as this life stage.
Infancy

8. Feedback from Task
• What have YOU learnt?

9. Infancy- Physical Development
Newborns are born with key reflexes. These keep
them alive.
Newborns must take easily digested food for
example the mother’s milk to help growth.
Key Reflexes

10. Let’s watch a clip
What did Bowlby say children were seeking other than

Bowlby

11. Infancy- Emotional
• Children’s emotional development and well-being
are closely linked to both social and behavioural
development.
• Emotional and social development strengthen a
child’s happiness and well-being. The first
relationships that they form will have an impact on
the rest of their lives.
• Secure attachments provide emotional resources
needed to cope with uncertainty.
• The senses are important in developing a
relationship with a baby through touch, eye contact
and use of voice.
