1B ECED

Instructions : Research further on the cephalocaudal and proximodistal patterns of


development.
1. Write an essay about your understanding about these patterns .
2. Analyze the difference between growth and development .

The cephalocaudal and proximodistal patterns represent the pattern of physical


and motor development. The cephalocaudal is a top to bottom principle, where
development starts at the top and moves its way down. Moreover, it is the postnatal
growth from conception to five months when the head grows more than the body.
Infants learn to use their upper limbs before their lower limbs.
The proximodistal asserts that development occurs at the center of the body. The
muscle itself encompasses the legs, arms, fingers, and so forth. At this stage of
development, the infant is capable of sitting before standing and standing before
walking. I now comprehend the distinction and purpose of these two forms of
development.
In comparison, the two patterns of development in cephalocaudal the direction of
growth starts from head to bottom, and the first thing that develops is the head, neck,
shoulder, middle trunk etc. While on the other hand, the proximodistal the direction of
growth starts from the center body start, and the first thing that develops is the
muscles that includes the legs, arms, fingers and etc.

Analyzing the difference between growth and development appears to be similar,


however there are numerous distinctions. Growth refers to physical changes in size,
such as increases in height and weight. Growth is determined by cellular changes; a kid
matures into an adult. The child endures numerous transformations from childhood to
adulthood. While in development, talents and abilities gradually expand over a lifetime
and are a continual process. Development focuses on a variety of factors, including
interpersonal skills and intelligence.
