These past two weeks we have been doing life cycles but this week we did a human life cycle.
Here are my facts I hope you enjoy.
Fetus: It will go through some different stages starting as a blastocyst then maturing into an embryo, and finally a fetus. Around the 5 week mark, cells in your baby’s future heart will begin to flicker. At 27 weeks they’ll have regular sleep and wake cycles, and at 39 weeks your baby is physically developed.
Baby: After birth it will start to cry and after a while it will fall asleep. It will spend most of its time sleeping and drinking milk for nutrients.
Toddler: When entered the toddler stage it will start to walk and eat solid food. The child’s main source of energy and nutrition. Your child can take between three quarters to one cup of food three to four times a day, plus one to two snacks between meals. Continue breastfeeding as much as your child wants, until at least 2 years old
Preschooler: this is the time where it is Initiative vs. Guilt If this assertiveness is greeted with a positive reaction, they learn that taking initiative is helpful behaviour. However, if they’re made to feel guilty or ashamed for their assertiveness, they may grow up to be timid and less likely to take the lead.
Primary school: It is a child who is between the ages of 5-12 years. At this stage, a child or primary schooner has developed good muscle control and coordination, eye-hand coordination, personal habits, thinking patterns, awareness of safety issues and personal habits and choices.
Adolescent: During adolescence young people will negotiate puberty and the completion of growth, take on sexually dimorphic body shape, develop new cognitive skills (including abstract thinking capacities), develop a clearer sense of personal and sexual identity, and develop a degree of emotional, personal, and financial.
Adult: By the time we reach early adulthood (20 to early 40s), our physical maturation is complete, although our height and weight may increase slightly. In young adulthood, our physical abilities are at their peak, including muscle strength, reaction time, sensory abilities, and cardiac functioning.
Old person: Old age may be defined as the stage from age 65 until death. During this stage, most people retire from work and no longer have the major responsibility of caring for others. Physically, older adults tend to have a decline in stamina, strength, reflex time, and the senses.
