Child And Adolescent Development Syllabus: This book will describe the familiar stages of development that have been recognized by poets, parents, and teachers. Each of these periods will be discussed in turn: the prenatal period and birth; the first two years of life; the preschool period, ending with the fifth year; the primary or middle child and adolescent development syllabushood period, including years six to eight; the later child and adolescent development syllabushood and pre-adolescent period, comprising years nine to the appearance of puberty; and the adolescent period, from about the twelfth or thirteenth to the end of the eighteenth year or later. Each period, of course, merges imperceptibly into the next, and it can be explained only by what has gone before.
The level of the child and adolescent development syllabus's neurological and physiological development determines the kinds of learning that can take place. Accordingly, the age at which a particular task should be taught to a child and adolescent development syllabus depends on the complexity of the skill, the degree of co-ordination and mental ability involved, and the rate of that particular child and adolescent development syllabus's development. A little practice at the appropriate stage of maturation is more effective than a lot when the child and adolescent development syllabus is too young.
Even if a child and adolescent development syllabus has made a poor start, it may be corrected by later life experiences, with the help of an understanding adult or through association with a chum or a group of peers. For example, in a family limited in intelligence and income, but blessed with genuinely warm feelings toward one another, the development of one child and adolescent development syllabus took place as follows: At twenty months the child and adolescent development syllabus was unweaned, had temper tantrums, and was retarded in language development. At this time a clinical study of the child and adolescent development syllabus was made and discussed with the mother. |
