place, so regardless of age, changes through
development occurs. With that said, education
should not be discriminating. In parenting,
improvement due to any deliberate effort to help
parents be more effective in caring for children is
development. As the child grows, one’s parenting
style should develop and match the child’s needs.
3. Development is multidimensional This characteristic of life-span perspective implies
that development is established in the process of
physical, mental, and socio-emotional aspects of
a person. In child care to promote children’s
physical development, external forces should be
done such as provision of healthy foods to eat
and inauguration of exercises.
4. Development is contextual This characteristics of life-span perspective
implies the development a perspective views the
essential process of human development as being
composed of changing, reciprocal relations
between individuals and the multiple contexts
within which they live.

regulation the development a perspective views Growth,
maintenance and regulation are three (3) goals of
human development. The goals of individuals
vary among development stages. For instance, as
individuals reach middle and late adulthood,
concern with growth gets into the back stage
while maintenance and regulation take the
center stage.
