child development

as a teacher we will need to know as much as posible about each individual child you teach.
through observing the children at work and at play; and through talking to them and the significant people in their lives.
two definitions about child development:
-child development refers to the biological and psychological changes that occur in human beings between birth and the end of the adolescence, as the individual progresses from dependency to increasing autonomy
-child development is a multifaceted, integral, and continual process of change in which children become able to handle ever more complex levels of moving, thinking, feeling nd relating to others.
Anyone who Works with children needs to adopt a view of child development which might be described as sociocultural/historical, the contexts of children and their developmet in terms of time, place and social grouping with a critical eye, paying attention to whether they focus on one kind of child from one kind of background.
in my opinión the teacher must know the children who teach in their context, society, family, culture, etc. the teacher must learn all about their student´s life and their interest.
