Detailed explanation-1: -Cephalocaudal means head to toe. As such, the cephalocaudal principle refers to the general pattern of development seen in the earliest years of postnatal development specifically ranging from infancy into toddlerhood. The cephalocaudal principle applies to both physical and functional development.
Detailed explanation-2: -Not all parts of the body grow at the same rate.–Cephalocaudal principle: growth proceeds downward, first from the head, then to the trunk region, and last to the feet.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cephalocaudal development describes the general growth pattern of organisms to develop areas near the main neural area (typically the head) earlier than areas of the body that are more distant. This can be seen in human fetuses where the head is the first body part formed.
Detailed explanation-4: -cephalocaudal trend–a pattern of growth occurs from the head downward through the body, the head grows more rapidly than the lower part of the body. proximodistal trend–a pattern of growth occurs from the center of the body outwards, for instance the arms and legs grow faster than the hands and feet.
