Prenatal development
uman development begins before birth and unfolds rapidly during the first years of life. In this activity, you will create a developmental timeline that begins with prenatal development and continues through infancy and toddlerhood (birth through age 3).
The purpose of this assignment is to help you understand how development progresses across early life stages, how milestones are scientifically studied, and how developmental theories explain patterns of growth. You will integrate physical, cognitive, social, and personality development, supported by scholarly research and theory.
By completing this activity, you will gain a deeper understanding of how development begins before birth, how early milestones unfold, how scientists study development, and how theories explain growth from prenatal life through toddlerhood.
