Today's Information

Today, I just wanted to put a little information out on child development.  It always amazes me when I meet a parent who knows absolutely nothing about how their child grows and develops!

But, in my line of work, I do meet more than you'd think!  So here goes:


29.9%​ ​of​ ​the​ ​population​ ​are​ ​between​ ​the​ ​ages​ ​of​ ​25​ ​and​ ​44.​ ​So,​ ​this​ ​is​ ​the​ ​age​ ​group​ ​with  which​ ​you’ll​ ​most​ ​commonly​ ​be​ ​working.​ ​​ ​Then​ ​it​ ​goes​ ​to​ ​22.2%​ ​being​ ​between​ ​the​ ​ages​ ​of  45​ ​and​ ​64;​ ​then​ ​13.1%​ ​being​ ​between​ ​5-13;​ ​then​ ​12.7%​ ​being​ ​age​ ​65​ ​or​ ​older;​ ​9.6%​ ​being  between​ ​the​ ​ages​ ​of​ ​12-24;​ ​then​ ​6.9​ ​%​ ​under​ ​the​ ​age​ ​of​ ​5;​ ​and​ ​finally​ ​5.7%​ ​being​ ​14-17.  The​ ​niche​ ​that​ ​you​ ​choose,​ ​will​ ​usually​ ​determine​ ​the​ ​age​ ​group​ ​that​ ​you​ ​will​ ​be​ ​working  with.

  It​ ​helps​ ​to​ ​relate​ ​to​ ​people​ ​better​ ​if​ ​you​ ​know​ ​a​ ​little​ ​bit​ ​about​ ​human​ ​development​ ​and  psychology.   Our​ ​genetics​ ​make​ ​up​ ​half​ ​of​ ​“us”.​ ​​ ​Our​ ​chromosomes​ ​determine​ ​if​ ​we​ ​will​ ​be​ ​a​ ​boy​ ​or​ ​a  girl.  

Genes​ ​are​ ​carried​ ​on​ ​chromosomes.​ ​​ ​Normal​ ​human​ ​beings​ ​have​ ​23​ ​pairs​ ​of  chromosomes.

So, that's your information for today!

Have a good one!
