Explain The Five Main Areas Of Child Development

Human development is very important as it is the building blocks for a child. The first three years is critical as this is when the development happens most but it's also continues throughout life. There are many things that affect a child's development such as family support, nutrition, and physical health. The five main areas of development are Physical, Social, Emotional, Moral, and Intellectual/Cognitive.

The first area of development that I will be talking about is my physical development. Physical. Physical development is the growth and development of gross and fine motor skills. A child’s eating habits, and healthy living affects their physical development so they are key. An example of when I had a physical development was when I took my first steps and then started walking after. Another example would be when I rood my bike by pedaling and steering my tricycle. Physical development is good because it is important to a child's life. All children have to grow properly or else it will affect their life in a negative way. without physical development a child can't do many simple things in life like walk, talk and see.

The second area of development that I will be talking about is my social development. Social development is the ability to

interact with people and build relationships with others. An example of my social development was playing with my friends at school. Another example would be interacting with teachers, family and friends. A lot of people can lack on social development and for that reason are really quite or don't have much friends. I was very sociable all my life and I know this because I got in trouble a lot for it. I also think having good support foundation would help with having a healthy social development. I think social development is important because it is what helps you with communicating with others and interact more with others.

The next area of development that I will be talking about is my emotional development. Emotional development is the emergence of a child's experience, expression, understanding, and regulation of emotions. An example when I showed emotional development is on my first day of school, I cried but then as the days went on it started becoming normal. Another example would be getting really mad when I didn't get something but as a grow older I was able to control my anger a lot more. That brings me to my next point which is when kids are younger they weren't able to control their emotions but as they grow they learn to control their emotions. Again having a good support will help with their emotional development. Emotional development is good and needed for a child because it helps them understand their feelings and also teaches them to control their feelings.
The next area of development that I will be talking about is my intellectual/cognitive development.

Intellectual/cognitive development is the ability to think about and understand things happening. An example of this is when I was learning my ABCs. Another example of this is when I started to read books. Intellectual/cognitive development can be different for each kid for example someone can be able to read small words when they are in kindergarten but another person is just learning their ABCs. For this development having family and friends and teachers supporting you is important. It can't be done without them. Intellectual/cognitive development is good because it helps kids understand, learn, and absorb new

things.

The last area of development that I will be talking about is my moral development. Moral development is knowing what's right for wrong. An example of this is knowing that it is wrong to hit someone and if I were to hit someone I would get into trouble. Another example is knowing that swearing at someone is wrong. As we all were growing we were taught things like hitting, swearing, and stealing are wrong. We were also taught that holding the door for someone, and helping someone are good things. Having a good role model in the family and not associating yourself with the wrong people help with a good moral development. Moral development is good because I think all kids should know what is wrong to do and what is right to do.

From the day you were born you go through many changes in growth and development. Human development is key to despondent in life. The five areas of human development include; physical, emotional, social, moral, and cognitive/intellectual.
