Child Development

Child development identifies and explains persistent, cumulative, and progressive changes in the physical, cognitive, and social-emotional development of children and adolescents.  The development is guided by three factors:

  • Nature- the genetic inheritance affecting the child's growth
  • Nurture- the influence of the environment in which the child lives
  • The child's own activity- the child's choices, mental processes, emotional responses, and behavior
