PHYSICAL LIFESPAN DEVELOPMENT FOLDABLE Infancy Newborn to Age
PHYSICAL LIFESPAN DEVELOPMENT FOLDABLE • Infancy- Newborn to Age 1 • Toddlerhood- Ages 1 through 2 • Early Childhood- Ages 3 through 5 • Middle Childhood- Ages 6 through 10 • Adolescence- Ages 11 through 19 • Early Adulthood- Ages 20 through 39 • Middle Adulthood- Ages 40 through 65/ Older Adulthood- Age 66 plus
PHYSICAL LIFESPAN FOLDABLE Create a foldable to show the changes that occur through the physical lifespan. You will create a flap of information for each of the following stages: • Infancy- Newborn to Age 1 • Toddlerhood- Ages 1 through 2 • Early Childhood- Ages 3 through 5 • Middle Childhood- Ages 6 through 10 • Adolescence- Ages 11 through 19 • Early Adulthood- Ages 20 through 39 • Middle Adulthood- Ages 40 through 65/ Older Adulthood- Age 66 plus For EACH state you will include the information that is in the PPT and highlighted in red and 2 pictures to represent each of the stages.
INFANCY- NEWBORN TO AGE 1 –Rapid brain and nervous development –Motor skills • Gross- crawling, creeping, holding their heads, standing • Fine- palmar grasp, pincer grasp –Nutrition • Breast milk and formula provide nutrition • Food intolerance
TODDLERHOOD- AGES 1 THROUGH 2 – Motor skills Gross • walk quickly, pull a toy on a string, run for short distances. • Kick, throw, walk backward, and climb stairs more easily Fine • feed themselves finger foods • hold a cup with handles • Take socks off and other clothing
TODDLERHOOD- AGES 1 THROUGH 2 – Nutrition • Bite sized foods, chew, and swallow various foods • Eat small portions many times during the day • Taste buds are more sensitive than adults – Sleeping-10 -15 hours of sleep per day – Toilet learning – Importance of routine medical and dental checkups and immunizations
EARLY CHILDHOOD- AGES 3 THROUGH 5 – Motor skills • Gross- jumping, twirling, catch a ball, run, jump, climb a playground jungle gym, postural control • Fine- draw a circle, an X, or form letters; color with crayons – hold a fork/spoon – and undo clothing; hand eye coordination; simple puzzles, playing instruments, copy alphabet letters, dress and undress, fold paper, and build block towers, write their name, string beads, use scissors, and hold a pencil (handedness)
EARLY CHILDHOOD- AGES 3 THROUGH 5 Nutrition • Food becomes a part of social interactions • Food preferences are more pronounced • Healthy snacks between meals are often necessary • Model proper eating behaviors • Food allergies
EARLY CHILDHOOD- AGES 3 THROUGH 5 –Importance of physical activity and play –Sleep- 11 -13 hours of sleep each night –Toilet learning- accidents are common –Medical and dental care • Teach dental care of baby (or primary) teeth • Allergies and asthma • Preventive care
MIDDLE CHILDHOOD- AGES 6 THROUGH 10 – Facial features mature and elongate – Motor skills • Gross- growth and strengthening of large muscles; running, jumping, climbing, and playing catch; series of motions like hopscotch or swimming laps; improved flexibility; dance, ride a bike • Fine- more control over small muscles increases precision, accuracy, and detail; eat with a knife and fork, use scissors to cut objects out of paper, build elaborate structures with building blocks; button their buttons and tie shoes; connecting dots and tictac-toe; keyboard typing; draw everyday objects, print letters, and make words and simple sentences
MIDDLE CHILDHOOD- AGES 6 THROUGH 10 –Nutrition • Less finicky about food, taste buds not as sensitive • Feeding themselves • Appetites increases • Childhood obesity • Malnutrition is a national and global, chronic problem
MIDDLE CHILDHOOD- AGES 6 THROUGH 10 – Physical activity and play- team sports; aerobic, musclestrengthening, and bone-strengthening activities – Sleeping- 10 hours of sleep per night – Medical and dental care • 32 permanent teeth replace 20 baby teeth • First aide- cuts and scrapes, strains and sprains, burns, electric shock, dental injuries, choking
ADOLESCENCE- AGES 11 THROUGH 19 – Growth spurts- asynchrony – Puberty • Females- body fat around hips, breasts, and thighs; hair growth; hips widen and breasts enlarge; menstruation; weight increases • Males- voice cracking; facial and body hair; shoulders broaden; muscle mass and weight increases – Nutrition • Manage busy lifestyles with healthy food choices • Avoid skipping meals and unhealthy snacking • Weight management becomes important- energy balance
ADOLESCENCE- AGES 11 THROUGH 19 – Sleeping- 9 -10 hours of sleep per night – Medical and dental care • Regular health exams- inoculations and vaccinations • Gynecological and testicular exams • Dentists inspect for cavities, plaque, and tartar; braces are often warn to straighten teeth; and wisdom teeth may be removed
EARLY ADULTHOOD- AGES 20 THROUGH 39 – No longer grow physically – Speed, strength, agility, and balance peak; skeletal maturity, bones are strongest, optimal muscle mass; fat tissue increases while muscle strength decreases in latter 20 s – Better eyesight and hearing, more lung capacity, and better immune system than middle age or older adults – Nutrition • Energy needs decrease, reduction of food intake avoids weight gain • Increase calcium, iron, potassium, zinc, vitamin D and the B vitamins • Dinning out presents challenges to energy balance
EARLY ADULTHOOD- AGES 20 THROUGH 39 – 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week – Aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities are important – Sleeping- 7 -9 hours of sleep per night; insomnia – Medical and dental care • Height, weight, and blood pressure are checked • Importance of knowing family medical history- additional testing for cholesterol, diabetes, STIs, or cancers – Alcohol abuse- binge drinking and alcoholism
MIDDLE ADULTHOOD- AGES 40 THROUGH 65 – Hormone levels decrease- climacteric and menopause – Loss of visual acuity and commonly develop presbyopia – Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis – Nutrition • Importance of weight management- without change in diet or activity level, the average person will gain 10 -20 pounds • Excessive weight increases risk of diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis – Sleeping- 7 -9 hours of sleep each night
MIDDLE ADULTHOOD- AGES 40 THROUGH 65 – Medical and dental care • Routine wellness and eye exams • Chronic diseases overtake accidents as the leading cause of death • Cancer is the leading cause of death – Benign vs. malignant tumors – Chemotherapy – Mammograms and prostate screenings • Cardiovascular disease
OLDER ADULTHOOD- AGE 66 PLUS – More wrinkled with age, skin becomes less elastic and age (liver) spots occur – Shorter in stature or height due to cartilage loss in vertebrae – Muscle tissue and body weight decrease, loss of range of motion, movements become slower – Body organs age and lose some efficiency; brain shrinks and blood flow to the brain decreases; heart’s capacity decreases and blood vessels harden; lungs have lower air capacity; digestion system slows; Incontinence may occur – The most common vision conditions are cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy; presbycusis and tinnitus effect hearing
OLDER ADULTHOOD- AGE 66 PLUS Nutrition and physical activity • Fiber and water intake are key to preventing constipation • Milk, bananas, whole-grains, fortified foods, and dietary supplements help meet needs • Weight and chronic health issues such as kidney disease, high cholesterol, and hypertension may be controlled by healthful changes in diet • Physical fitness- 150 minutes per week including aerobic and musclestrengthening activities
OLDER ADULTHOOD- AGE 66 PLUS Medical and health care – Sleeping- 7 -9 hours of sleep each night; difficulty sleeping may lead to frequent naps; sleep apnea – Medical and dental care • Screenings and exams are important for blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and colon cancer • Dentures are a solution for older adults who loose teeth for a variety of reasons • Health and disease – Cardiovascular disease and cancer are the most prevalent; diabetes, arthritis, and hypertension are also common – Immune system becomes less effective in fighting illness
OLDER ADULTHOOD- AGE 66 PLUS Health care – Increase in life expectancy – Many diseases can be prevented or at least symptoms relieved with proper nutrition, physical activity, food availability, weight management, oral health, vision, and hearing care – Increased medical care, doctor visits, hospitalization, rehabilitation, and prescription drugs – Medicare and Social Security are government programs which help older Americans
