CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -As we grow older, we experience an increasing number of major life changes, including career transitions and retirement, children leaving home, the loss of loved ones, physical and health challenges-and even a loss of independence. How we handle and grow from these changes is often the key to healthy aging.

Detailed explanation-2: -What’s happening. With age, bones tend to shrink in size and density, weakening them and making them more susceptible to fracture. You might even become a bit shorter. Muscles generally lose strength, endurance and flexibility-factors that can affect your coordination, stability and balance.

Detailed explanation-3: -Evidence from studies of false recall and recognition indicate that older adults are sometimes more likely than younger adults to remember events that never happened, reflecting the influence of indistinct encoding of events and the use of lenient criteria during retrieval.

Detailed explanation-4: -Older adults generally have lower calorie needs, but similar or even increased nutrient needs compared to younger adults. This is often due to less physical activity, changes in metabolism, or age-related loss of bone and muscle mass.
