The Human Lifecycle

1
The Human Lifecycle

• By the end of this lesson you will
• know the stages in growth and development of
  humans.
• describe differences in capabilities of newly
  born humans and other animals

2
Babyhood

• This is the first stage in the lifecycle of the
  human. Babies are born after spending 9 months
  developing in their mothers womb. When they are
  born they have to be fed and cared for by their
  parents. They begin to develop teeth at 5
  months. At around 1 year babies begin to walk
  but they are still very dependent on their
  parents.

3
Childhood

• As the child gets older it can begin to do more
  things for itself. By the age of 5 a child can
  walk, run, talk and feed itself but it is still
  dependent on its parents. During this time
  children grow and lose their first set of teeth
  and get a new set.

4
Adolescence

• Children become teenagers at the age of 13.
  During this time boys and girls begin to develop
  into adults. The rate of development depends on
  the individual but both boys and girls will
  notice changes to their bodies. Adolescents like
  to become less dependent on their parents and
  will often do things by themselves.

5
Adulthood

• At the age of 18 people become adults. They then
  become responsible for their own actions and no
  longer rely on their parents to look after them.
  Adults do not grow anymore but need to look after
  their bodies to ensure a long and healthy life.
