HUMAN GROWTH
Human growth is a lifespan process that entails physical, socioemotional, and intellectual development. The study of human growth assists students in understanding the background of the development process from birth to adulthood stage, and finally death. Meanwhile, in this writing, the developmental issues on the growth in the early childhood and middle adulthood stages have been discussed.
Developmental concerns in early childhood.
The process of human growth changes in different people depending on poverty, lack of proper nutrition, and unavailability of convenient and affordable learning opportunities for all children globally (Anderson, & Burnett, 2017). Nonetheless, despite different institutions such as worship centered, learning institutions, some money lending institutions, and some public organizations putting genuine efforts in healing the child’s developmental issues and concerns, the problem of child malnutrition remains a great health threat globally. A child’s social morale depends on the energy of the people interacting with the child. Besides, poor outcomes in the development process of a child are also caused by inadequate nurturing from their caretakers.
Developmental concerns in middle adulthood
Middle adulthood development entails the social, biological, and psychological aspects of an individual. However, tasks such as the urge to develop better body physic, adjusting to work conditions, ensuring a good economic flow, adjusting to being dependent by others, and reorganizing living values ad living a real are experienced (Wölfer, Schmid, Hewstone & Zalk, 2016). Moreover, middle adulthood stage people experience the fear of losing their sex morale and losing their partners. Eventually, insecurities in the middle adulthood stage are inevitable since different events always happen in their timing in the growth process.
In conclusion, the stages of human development give them strength and a breakthrough that enables one to have a life meaning. Besides, despite major concerns and issues that occur in the development process, all challenges and obstacles are usually beneficial in the life cycle of human beings.
