    Human development from a life-span perspective has two key characteristics according to the document: 1. Development is lifelong - people continue developing throughout their lives from childhood through adulthood and beyond. This implies education and parenting should evolve to meet people's changing needs as they age. 2. Development is plastic - people change and are shaped by their environment and experiences. This means childcare, education, and parenting must accommodate changes in needs as people grow.

    1.

    From the characteristics of human Development from a life - span

    perspective, state two characteristics and their implications to child

    care, education and parenting.

    ● Development is lifelong - The life-span perspective implies that

    development continues even after we die. In child-care, a child is mostly

    curious during his or her childhood, and this curiosity is maintained until the

    child's education begins. Education leads to development in children as

    they grow, even until they become parents. Development occurs

    throughout a person's life.

    ● Development is plastic - This life-span perspective characteristic implies

    that change occurs during development. Children in child care go

    through dramatic changes, which includes their needs. Those

    requirements must be met for a child's welfare. Learning in education

    entails being exposed to change. Development occurs regardless of how

    small the change is, so changes occur regardless of age. That being said,

    education should not be discriminatory. Development in parenting refers

    to any deliberate effort to assist parents in becoming more effective

    caregivers for their children. As the child grows, one's parenting style

    should evolve to meet the needs of the child.

    2. " Growth is an evidence of life " What does this imply to a person's

    development? Physical growth occurs as a person grows from infant to

    adult, allowing the child to experience changes in the body and

    relationship with the environment. Learning to crawl as the limbs and

    muscles lengthen and strengthen. The worldview that can be reached

    and touched changes as well. That line of sight ascending from the floor.
    That is gaining knowledge of one's physical surroundings. With that comes

    the development of the thinking mind, which collects and attempts to

    make sense of the physical as well as input from family and others in the

    environment. It is stated what one can and cannot do. Others sharing

    their experiences, whether known or unknown, shape perceptions in and

    of self experiences. As these changes occur, one's perspectives on life

    and the world expand. A shaping and reshaping of one's perceived

    position in the world. The expression "to live and learn" comes to mind.

    Physical growth slows with age, but growth in and of experiences to the

    heart and mind continues.

    3. If your approach to human development is traditional, are the

    characteristics of human development from a life - span perspective

    acceptable ? Yes, because human development from a life span

    perspective entails the exploration of biological, cognitive, and

    psychosocial changes and constancy that occur throughout life and help

    us grow. This will serve as a guide in achieving progressive growth.

    4. Interpret this quotation in relation to human development, " Man is an

    unfinished project. He is always in the process of becoming " We have not

    remained the same since our birth; rather, we have changed and

    continue to change. This fact supports the notion that we are an

    unfinished project that is constantly evolving. In other words, because we

    are an unfinished project, every day is an opportunity to complete

    ourselves and achieve our full potential. We have already demonstrated

    this every time we get out of bed and go to work, school, or whatever else

    we do. The things we do on a daily basis are part of the process that we,
    like an unfinished project, must go through in order to become who we

    want to be.

    5. Heredity exerts a greater influence on human development than the

    environment , agree or disagree ?Agree, a person's genetic background

    has a significant impact on their personality. Some personality traits can

    be passed down from generation to generation. Thus, twin studies show

    that a person's personality is influenced more by heredity than by

    environmental factors.
