12 STAGES OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

1. Pre-birth - 3 stages of pre-birth o Germinal o Embryonic o Fetal - The child who has not been born yet has the potential to become anything. 2. Birth - The newborn symbolizes hope, as if this new existing life would bring something unique and special into the world to make it a better place. 3. Infancy (0-3) - Infants are vibrant and have an unlimited source of energy. - The time when babies learn to focus their vision, explore, and learn about the things around them. 4. Early childhood (3-6) - Young children start to develop new skills and vocabulary, as they absorb information and learn in many different ways. They also embody the principle of innovation as when young children play, they recreate a new world by combining what is already given with what can be made possible. 5. Middle childhood (6-8) - In this stage, the sense of an inner subjective self develops for the first time.

Mature adulthood (50-80) - People at this stage have already raised families and have established themselves in their work life and have contributed to the betterment of society. 11. Late adulthood (80+) - Elders represent the source of wisdom that exist in us, as those who have lived long lives have already acquired many experiences to help guide others to avoid the mistakes of the past 12. Death and dying - Those in our lives who are dying, or who have died, have taught us about the value of living.
