    Typical and Atypical Development

    Uploaded by

    Leah Jean Villegas
    Middle childhood brings many physical, cognitive, social, and emotional changes. Children become more independent, develop stronger friendships, and start to think about their future. Their bodies grow significantly and lose their baby teeth. Cognitively, they can understand concrete ideas but still struggle with abstract concepts. Typical development refers to acquiring skills similar to other children their age, while atypical development does not follow the normal course and could include disabilities or disorders like Down syndrome or autism.

    TYPICAL & ATYPICAL DEVELOPMENT

    Middle Childhood
    ACTIVITY
    Analysis

    During the development of a child there is always a change in every


    stages. Considering the factors that affects them.
    ABSTRACTION

    Middle childhood brings many changes in a child’s


    life.
    By this time, children can dress themselves, catch a
    ball more easily using only their hands, and tie their
    shoes. Having independence from family becomes
    more important now. Events such as starting school
    bring children this age into regular contact with the
    larger world. Friendships become more and more
    important. Physical, social, and mental skills
    develop quickly at this time.
    This is a critical time for children to
    develop confidence in all areas of
    life.
    TYPICAL development
    refer to children acquiring a wide range of skills
    similar to the majority of children their same age
    within their same culture. However, the term
    "typical" development is more accepted by
    parents than the term "normal" development.
    Atypical development

    is when development doesn't follow the normal


    course. It could include things like learning and
    social disabilities and disorders.
    TYPICAL development
    • Emotional/Social Changes

    • Show more independence from parents and family.


    • Start to think about the future.
    • Understand more about his or her place in the world.
    • Pay more attention to friendships and teamwork.
    • Want to be liked and accepted by friends.
    Cognitive

    • Between the ages of about 7 and 11, children are in the


    period of cognitive development that Jean Piaget referred
    to as the concrete operational stage. During this period of
    intellectual development, kids become increasingly skilled
    at understanding logical and concrete information.
    However, they still struggle to grasp hypothetical or
    abstract concepts.
    • This Stage children

    • Show rapid development of mental skills.


    • Learn better ways to describe experiences and talk about
    thoughts and feelings.
    • Have less focus on one’s self and more concern for others.
    • Physical Development

    • children typically have acquired a leaner, more athletic appearance.


    Girls and boys still have similar body shapes and proportions until both
    sexes reach puberty, the process whereby children sexually mature
    into teenagers and adults. After puberty, secondary sexual
    characteristics—breasts and curves in females, deeper voice and
    broad shoulders in males—make distinguishing females from males
    much easier.

    • Girls and boys grow about 2 to 3 inches and gain about 7 pounds per
    year until puberty. Skeletal bones and muscles broaden and lengthen,
    which may cause children (and adolescents) to experience growing
    pains. Skeletal growth in middle childhood is also associated with
    losing the deciduous teeth, or baby teeth.
    Atypical development
    There are behavior that's different from normal
    developmental expectations based on the child's
    age. If it can be determined that a child's
    development is significantly delayed or different
    from that of their peers, it would be considered
    abnormal development.
    Abnormal development can manifest in different ways,
    especially in children. There can be physical delays, such as
    a delay in gross motor skills. There can be cognitive
    dyfuntion such as inability to focus attention.
    EXAMPLE :
    • Down syndrome (DS or DNS),

    •also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder


    caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy
    of chromosome 21. It is typically associated with
    physical growth delays, characteristic facial
    features, and mild to moderate intellectual
    disability.
    Autism

    a complex neurobehavioral condition that includes


    impairments in social interaction and developmental
    language and communication skills combined with
    rigid, repetitive behaviors.
