Andre Said:

health factors which could impede child development?

We Answered:

I think you should be more specific here. There are so many things that can effect child development, from prenatal exposure to drugs and alcohol, to postnatal factors like malnutrition and second-hand cigarette smoke exposure. A more specific request would be helpful.

Willard Said:

the basic stages of child development and the implications these have for health,safety and security?

We Answered:

I don't know if this will help you are not but here it goes.

Semsorimotor Stage ( birth to 2 years)
develops object permanence ( making your face appear and disappear in the old game of peek-a-boo seems silly), Stranger anxiety (defense mechanisim when a child will not come to close to someone who they are not familar with), in this stage trust and autonomy (self government or being independent of their parents) and shame/doubt occurs. if a child in this age needs is not meet then they will not be a trustworthy individual. Will power is also used here.
Preoperational Stage ( 2 to about 7 yrs)
the processing of words matching up with images takes place (like recongnizing name and faces develops). Imaginary friends might find themselves in this area. Also egos start to develop and while playing with other they may get irritated if they are not winning. Correct language skills develop. [Psycholsocial development] Initiative and guilt starts to come in first. ( if a child is "spoiled" then they may not take initive they may just wait for some one to do something they want them to do.) also competence and inferiority edges its way in towards the later part of the years. Either a child has competence ( posseses the skills) or they feel inferior to others ( they might just have this mind set that they can't do anything right because they are usually wrong this gets them to have little self confidence)
Concrete opertational stage ( 7 to 11 yrs)
Logic is finally developing and growing at a very fast rate.The stranger anxiety fades as they are now older and feel that they are capable of defending themselves. Algorithms ( problem solving) starts to become more present as they may come up with solution to problems mathamatical operations become easier to be taught. also identiy and role confusion is present. As we get older we search for our identity we may try many different things before we find something that makes us happy( like a homosexual male or female may find that they look to the opposite sex before they accept the fact that they are in to the same sex.) or we might go the other way and be confused about ourselves.
