physical and social characteristics from parents to off-springs. Different

characteristics of growth and development like intelligence, aptitudes,

body structure, height, weight, color of hair and eyes are highly

influenced by heredity.

influence height, weight, color, features, and

body constitution of a human being.

3. RACE- show a relationship with varied cultural groups.

EXAMPLES OF HORMONAL DISORDERS:

I. Dwarfism. This is due

to deficiency in secretion of growth hormone

during childhood. The individual will have a

slow rate of growth. The person of 20 years

age may look like a guy of 10 years.

II. Gigantism. In this disorders, there is

excessive secretion of growth hormone. The

body grows at faster rate than normal.

met with the world’s smallest man, Chandra

Bahadur Dangi, from Nepal)

III. Baldness - can refer to general hair loss or

androgenic alopecia (male patternbaldness).

Some types of baldness can be caused by

alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder.

Environmental influences on human physical growth and development has

focused on the influences of social and economic factors; family and

household characteristics; urbanization/modernization; nutrition; and

features of the physical environment such as altitude, temperature and

climate. Continuing in this tradition are current investigations into the roles

of pollutants and other aspects of the human-made environment in

affecting patterns of human growth and development, specifically the timing

of sexual maturation and the development of obesity.

1. PRE-NATAL ENVIRONMENT-The growth that happens

during the nine months of prenatal development is nothing

short of astonishing, but this period is also a time of great

vulnerability. ; NO SMOKING, ALCHOLOL ANG INTAKE OF

CERTAIN DRUGS.

2. POSTNATAL ENVIRONMENT- determine the pace and

pattern of

growth and development

4. FAMILY ENVIRONMENT - The first environment, the child moves in,

is his home. Here the child comes in contact with his parents and

other family member his likes, dislikes, stereotypes about people,

expectancies of security and emotional responses all are shaped in

early childhood.

The type of training and early childhood experiences received from the

family play an important role in the development of personality.

5. SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

School play an important role in molding the personality of a child because a

significant part of a child's life is spent in school. In school a child comes in

contact with his teachers whose personality may influence them. Concepts,

theories, good values and manners are taught in school.

6. PEER GROUPS ENVIRONMENT

When a child socialize with other individuals of his or her age, he/she learns the

ways, values and manners of these individuals. The people in which we are

closest to often shape who we are because personality will be influenced and

modified through his/her interaction with peers. Keeping company with people

who add value to our lives, will go a long way to building the personality that

truly works for you in your work, family and social life.

7. NUTRITION

Growth of children from PEM, anemia and vitamin deficiency status is retarded.

Over eating and obesity accelerates somatic growth.

8. CLIMATE

Velocity of growth may alter in different season (usually higher in spring and low

in summer months.

Infections and infestations are common in hot and humid climates.

9. TRAUMA

Fracture of the end of the bone damages the growth epiphysis and thus

hampers the skeletal growth.
