  1. Growth & DevelopmentUnit Four: Parenting P.I.E.S + M -- Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Social and Moral Development

  2. Physical Growth & Development • Involves the actual growth of all body tissues • Bones, muscles, organs and body systems become bigger and able to perform more complex actions • Fine motor skills – based on the growth of small muscles (fingers) • Gross motor skills – based on the growth of large muscles (legs & arms)

  3. Intellectual Growth & Development • Learning depends on brain growth and stimulation of the brain and central nervous system by the five senses • Brain growth during the earliest years of life is critical to cognitive development (ability to understand and learn)

  4. Emotional Growth & Development • Emotional development is the process of developing positive feelings about oneself, family, friends and the world. • Every child is born with a temperament (sensitive, placid, aggressive) • Children need to develop a full range of feelings and learn to handle the feelings appropriately

  5. Social Development • Social development progresses from being completely self-centered and dependent as an infant to becoming an independent adult • Mature social skills include being able to make and keep friends, form intimate relationships, get along with others, function as an individual and as part of a team.

  6. Social Development…con’t • Social development depends a lot on the relationship (attachment) that is formed with the child’s primary care providers

  7. Moral Development • Process of learning right from wrong • Caring behaviour is rooted in biology (we are wired to be caring) • Nurturing environment encourages moral behaviour

  8. Parents need to be nurturing for best development • Healthy and positive human growth and development depend on nurturing relationships. • Nurturing relationships include three (3) elements: • Comfort • Play • Teach

  9. Comfort • Children may become frustrated, anxious or overwhelmed • Parents/caregiver must use appropriate response to help the child • Gentle rocking and soothing are appropriate for infant/toddler • Calming words may be more appropriate for older children

  10. Play • Play exercises a growing body and mind • Provides a way to express emotions and develop socially • Parents/caregivers who play with children contribute to the child’s development while strengthening their relationship

  11. Teach • Teaching provides children with the “know-how” to accomplish important tasks • Ex: A parent can teach a child to climb the stairs safely
