1. Physical development is influenced by both heredity (nature) and environment (nurture). Key stages include prenatal development, infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. 2. Prenatal development begins with fertilization and continues through gestation. Proper prenatal development and a healthy mother are important. 3. Physical growth occurs most rapidly during infancy, toddlerhood, childhood, and adolescence. Social and cognitive development also progress significantly at these stages. 4.

FACTORS IN THE EVELOPMENT OF THE
PHYSICAL SELF

Heredity (nature)
The transmission of traits or characteristics from
parents offspring. It provides the raw material of
which an individual is made up. Through the genes,
hereditary potentials like physical, mental, social,
emotional, and moral traits are passed down to
generations.
Environmental (nurture)
The sum total of the forces or experiences that
a person undergoes from conception to old age.
It includes friends, school, nutrition, and other
agencies an individual has in contact with.
1. Prenatal Development (The Beginning of Life)
A. Fertilization
Life begins at fertilization which refers to the meeting of the female sex
cell and the male sex cell.

B. Sex cells are developed in the reproductive organs called gonads.

 Male gonads (testes) produces spermatozoa


 Female gonads (ovaries) produces ova

C. Zygote (fertilized eggs) that contains all the hereditary potentials from
parents that goes to the uterus and continues to grow during the gestation
period of about period of about 280 days or 39 weeks or 9 calendar
months.
All of the major structures of the body are forming and
the health of the mother is of primary concern. There
are various approaches to labor, delivery, and
childbirth, with potential complications of pregnancy
and delivery, as well as risks and complications with
newborns, but also advances in tests, technology, and
medicine.
Infancy and Toddlerhood
The first year and a half to two years of life are ones
of dramatic growth and change. Development
happens at a remarkable rate such as physical
growth and language development. Social and
cultural issues center around breastfeeding or
formula-feeding, sleeping in cribs or in the bed with
parents, toilet training, and whether or not to get
vaccinations.
Early Childhood
Early childhood is also referred to as the preschool
years, consisting of the years that follow toddlerhood
and precede formal schooling, roughly from around
ages 2 to 5 or 6. As a preschooler, the child is busy
learning language (with amazing growth in
vocabulary), is gaining a sense of self and greater
independence, and is beginning to learn the
workings of the physical world.
MIDDLE
CHILDHOO
D
The ages of 6-11 comprise middle childhood and much of
what children experience at this age is connected to their
involvement in the early grades of school. Children also
begin to learn about social relationships beyond the
family through interaction with friends and fellow
students; same-sex friendships are particularly salient
during this period.
ADOLESCENC
E
Adolescence is a period of dramatic physical change
marked by an overall physical growth. It is also a
time of cognitive change as the adolescent begins to
think of new possibilities and to consider abstract
concepts such as love, fear, and freedom. Peers
become more important, as teens strive for a sense of
belonging and acceptance; mixed-sex peer groups
become more common.
EARLY ADULTHOOD
Late teens, twenties, and thirties are often thought of
as early adulthood. It is a time of focusing on the
future and putting a lot of energy into making
choices that will help one earn the status of a full
adult in the eyes of others. Love and work are the
primary concerns at this stage of life.
MIDDLE
ADULTHOO
D
The late thirties (or age 40) through the mid-60s are
referred to as middle adulthood. Referred to as the
sandwich generation, middle-aged adults may be in
the middle of taking care of their children and also
taking care of their aging parents. While caring about
others and the future, middle-aged adults may also be
questioning their own mortality, goals, and
commitments, though not necessarily experiencing a
“mid-life crisis.”
LATE
ADULTHOOD
The Late Adults have some health problems and
challenges with daily living activities; the oldest old
are often frail and in need of long-term care.
Death and Dying

The study of death and dying is seldom given the


amount of coverage it deserves. Of course, there
is a certain discomfort in thinking about death,
but there is also a certain confidence and
acceptance that can come from studying death
and dying.
