Detailed explanation-1: -Child development takes place in two directions, one is from the head-to-foot/toe direction and the second is from centre to periphery. The Cephalocaudal Development: It exhibits that the development proceeds in the longitudinal direction i.e. from head to toe.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, we conclude that the direction of development is Cephalo-caudal and Proximo-distal.
Detailed explanation-3: -This is called the cephalocaudle principle. This principle describes the direction of growth and development. According to this principle, the child gains control of the head first, then the arms, and then the legs. Infants develop control of the head and face movements within the first two months after birth.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cephalocaudal: Means from head to toe. When a baby is born their head is relatively large for their body and the rest of their body eventually catches up. Proximodistal: Refers to the growth from the inside out. From the centre or the core in an outwards direction.
Detailed explanation-5: -Child development takes place in two directions, one is from the head-to-foot direction and the second is from near to distant (center of the body to the peripheral).
