The basic laws of children's growth and development

Children's growth and development is an issue that parents are very concerned about. Parents all hope that their children can grow and develop normally, but many parents do not know what they can do about their children's growth and development. In fact, parents can understand some basic rules of children's growth and development. Once a child's growth and development does not follow these basic rules, it must be taken seriously.

1. Development is a continuous, staged process

The first growth spurt occurs during infancy; the second growth spurt occurs during adolescence.

2. Unbalanced growth and development of various organs

The developmental order of the human body's organ systems follows a certain pattern. The nervous system develops early, and the brain develops rapidly in the first two years after birth - the nervous system develops fast at first and then slow; the lymphatic system grows rapidly in childhood, reaches a peak in early adolescence, and then gradually declines (slow-fast-slow); the reproductive system develops late - slow at first and then fast. The development of other systems such as the heart, liver, kidneys, and muscles is basically balanced with physical growth and development.

3. General rules of growth and development

Growth and development follow certain rules. For example, motor development follows the rules from top to bottom, from near to far, from coarse to fine, from low to high, and from simple to complex. The pattern of motor development after birth is: lift the head first (2 months), then lift the chest, then sit (6 months), turn over in July, crawl in August; stand in September, walk, jump and run at 123 years old. (Look up in February, sit in June, turn over in July, crawl in August, stand up in September, walk, jump and run at 123 years old.)

4. Individual Differences in Growth and Development

Within a certain range, due to the influence of genetics and environment, there are considerable individual differences, and everyone's growth "trajectory" is not exactly the same.

In the above article, we introduced an issue that parents attach great importance to, that is, the growth and development of children. We know that children's growth and development follow certain rules. The above article introduces the basic rules of children's growth and development in detail for parents.
