Importance of Human Development
Understanding of the development stages preparing me for a future life as a mother, aunt and grandmother.
I will be able to practice the best ways to encourage the best human development possible.
In future this is going to help me in my career and get to understand children more as they grow hence help around my surrounding.
Relevance of human development to my life
I am a young woman who is keen to settle down and have a family in the near future. The information on the human development will give me a better understanding of the stages of child development and thus enable me to fully utilize this knowledge to better help my children grow up in a conducive environment.
This information also helps me better understand the later stages of human development, old age.
