Human Growth and Development in Social Care
Humans, like any other living species, go through various stages of growth throughout their lives. We come into the world as newborns and hopefully live a full life, well into old age.
During this time, we transition from childhood to adulthood. With each stage of growth presenting its own developmental challenges, both physically and mentally.
If you’re fascinated by human behaviour and want to better understand why we think, act and feel the way we do at different stages in life, this course is for you. This Level 3 Human Growth and Development in Social Care online course allows you to explore human development in fine detail.
You will learn all about growth from an early age. Looking at everything from a child’s physical and cognitive development to the way they process language, communicate and explore their emotions.
You will examine theories around how we learn, the importance of objects in interpersonal relationships and the different bonds between people.
In addition to this, you will gain a detailed understanding of the social factors that can affect development. From the way disability impacts families to the effect society’s prejudices and stereotypes has on the elderly.
You will also explore how all of the above relates to social care. So you have a better understanding of how social services can cater to the need of individuals that require support from the system.
