clinical threshold for behavioral and emotional problems and/or a diagnosable mental disorder. Studies including comparison samples of children with typical development (TD) highlight a significant difference in risk of psychopathology, with the relative risk for youth with DD (relative to youth with TD) ranging from 2.8–4.1 to 1

Toddlers

Between one and two years of age, infants move into a developmental stage known as early childhood. At this stage, the infant's transition into early childhood is marked by self-awareness, growing maturity in the use of language, and the presence of memory and imagination.

In early childhood, infants begin to learn to walk, talk, and make decisions on their own. An important characteristic of this age period is language development, as children learn to communicate and express their emotions and desires through vocal sounds, babbling, and eventually words. [66] Self-control also begins to develop. At this age, children take the initiative to explore, experiment, and learn from mistakes. Caregivers who encourage toddlers to try new things and test their abilities help the child become independent, self-reliant, and confident. [67] If a caregiver is overprotective or disapproves of independent action, the toddler may begin to doubt their abilities and feel ashamed of their striving for independence. The child's development of autonomy is inhibited, leaving them less prepared to deal with the world in the future. Toddlers also begin to define themselves in terms of gender roles, acting according to their perception of what a man or a woman is supposed to do.

Socially, this period of childhood is commonly referred to as the "terrible twos." Toddlers often use their newly acquired language abilities to voice their desires, but parents frequently misunderstand them because their language skills are only just beginning to develop. A person experiencing their independence for the first time at this stage is another reason for the notorious label given to this phase. Tantrums brought on by frustration are also common.

Childhood

Erik Erikson divides childhood into four stages, each with its own social crisis: [70]

  • Stage 1: Infancy (0 to 1½), in which the psychosocial crisis is Trust versus Mistrust.
  • Stage 2: Early childhood (2½ to 3 years), in which the psychosocial crisis is Autonomy versus Shame and Doubt.
  • Stage 3: Play age (3 to 5), in which the psychosocial crisis is Initiative versus Guilt. (This stage is also called "preschool age," "the age of exploration," and "the age of toys" [71]).
  • Stage 4: School age (5 to 12), in which the psychosocial crisis is Industry versus Inferiority.

Play (or preschool) age, 3–5 years.
In early childhood, children are "completely dependent on the care of others." As a result, they develop "social relationships" with their caregivers and then with family members. During the preschool years (3–5 years), they "expand their social horizons" to include people outside the family. [72]

Preoperational and later operational thinking develops, meaning that actions become reversible and egocentric thinking decreases. [73]

Preschoolers' motor skills improve, so they can do more for themselves. They become more independent. This age group's world is no longer entirely dependent on the care of others. More people play a part in shaping their individuality. Preschoolers explore and ask questions about their world. [74] For Jean Piaget, the child is "a little scientist" who investigates and reflects on these explorations to increase their competence, and does so "in a very independent manner." [75]

Play is the main activity for children aged 3–5. For Piaget, through play "the child reaches a higher level of cognitive development." [76]

In their expanded world, children aged 3–5 try to find their own way. If this is done in a socially acceptable manner, the child develops initiative. Otherwise, the child develops a sense of guilt. [77] Children who develop a "sense of guilt" rather than "initiative" have failed to resolve Erikson's psychosocial crisis for the 3–5 age group.

Middle childhood, 6–12 years.
For Erik Erikson, the psychosocial crisis of middle childhood is Industry versus Inferiority, which, if successfully resolved, instills in the child a sense of competence. [70]

Across all cultures, middle childhood is a time for developing "the skills that will be needed by their society." [78] School is an arena in which children can see themselves as "industrious (and worthy)." They are "evaluated for their schoolwork and often for their industry." They can also develop industry outside of school, in sports, games, and volunteering. [79] Children who achieve "success in school or games can develop a sense of competence."

"The danger during this period is that a sense of inferiority and inadequacy will develop. [78] Parents and teachers can 'undermine' a child's development by failing to recognize achievements or by being overly critical of the child's efforts. [79] Children who are 'encouraged and praised' develop faith in their competence. A lack of encouragement or ability to succeed leads to a 'sense of inferiority and inadequacy' [80]."

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) divide middle childhood into two stages, ages 6–8 and 9–11, and provide "developmental milestones for each stage." [81]

Middle childhood (7–10).
As they enter elementary school, children in this age group begin to think about the future and their "place in the world." Working with other students and wanting their friendship and approval become more important. This leads to "greater independence from parents and family." As students, they develop the mental and verbal skills needed "to describe experiences and talk about thoughts and feelings." They become less self-centered and show "more concern for others." [82]

Middle childhood (9–11).
For children aged 9–11, "friendships and peer relationships" become stronger, more complex, and more important. This leads to greater "peer pressure." They become even less dependent on their families and face serious academic challenges. To cope with this challenge, they increase their attention span and learn to see other points of view. [83]

Adolescence

Adolescence is the period of life between the onset of puberty and full commitment to an adult social role, such as worker, parent, and/or citizen. It is a period known for the formation of personal and social identity (see Erik Erikson) and the discovery of moral purpose (see William Damon). Intelligence is demonstrated through the logical use of symbols associated with abstract concepts and formal reasoning. A return to egocentric thinking often occurs at the start of this period. Only 35% develop the ability to reason formally during adolescence or adulthood. (Huitt, W. and Hummel, J., January 1998) [84]

It is divided into three parts, namely:

  1. Early adolescence: 9 to 13 years
  2. Middle adolescence: 13 to 15 years, and
  3. Late adolescence: 15 to 18 years

The adolescent unconsciously explores questions such as "Who am I? Who do I want to be?" Like toddlers, adolescents must explore, test limits, become autonomous, and settle on an identity or sense of self. Choosing an identity requires trying out different roles, behaviors, and ideologies. Role confusion and an inability to choose a career can result from a failure to achieve a sense of identity, for example through friends.

Early adulthood

Early adulthood generally refers to the period from ages 18 to 29 [85] and, according to theorists such as Erik Erikson, is a stage in which development mainly centers on maintaining relationships. [86] Examples include forming bonds of intimacy, maintaining friendships, and eventually starting a family. Some theorists argue that the development of intimacy skills depends on resolving previous developmental stages. A sense of identity acquired at earlier stages is also necessary for developing intimacy. If this skill is not learned, the alternative is alienation, isolation, fear of commitment, and an inability to depend on others.

A related framework for studying this part of the lifespan is emerging adulthood. Scholars of young adulthood, such as Jeffrey Arnett, are not necessarily interested in relationship development. Instead, this concept suggests that after adolescence people move into a period characterized not by relationship-building and an overall sense of stability in life, but by years of living with parents and phases of self-discovery and experimentation. [87]

Middle age

Middle adulthood generally refers to the period from ages 29 to 49. During this period, middle-aged adults experience a conflict between generativity and stagnation. They may either feel that they are contributing to society, the next generation, or their immediate community, or they may develop a sense of aimlessness.

Physically, middle-aged people experience a decline in muscle strength, reaction time, sensitivity, and cardiac output. Women also go through menopause, on average at 48.8 years of age, along with a sharp drop in the hormone estrogen. [88] In men, the equivalent disruption of the endocrine system is called andropause. Andropause in men is a hormonal fluctuation with physical and psychological effects that can be similar to those seen in women during menopause. As men age, declining testosterone levels can contribute to mood swings and reduced sperm count. Sexual response may also be affected, including delayed erection and longer periods of penile stimulation required to reach ejaculation.

The significant impact of the biological and social changes that women and men face in middle adulthood is reflected in the fact that depression rates peak at around age 48.5 worldwide. [89]

Old age

The World Health Organization holds that there is "no general agreement on the age at which a person becomes old." Most "developed countries" set the age at 60 or 65. In developing countries, however, it is the inability to make an "active contribution" to society, rather than chronological age, that marks the onset of old age. [90] According to Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, old age is the stage at which people evaluate the quality of their lives. Reflecting on their lives, people in this age group develop a sense of integrity if they conclude that their life has been successful, or a sense of despair if their assessment points to a failure to achieve their goals. [91]

Physically, older people experience a decline in muscle strength, reaction time, endurance, hearing, distance perception, and sense of smell. [92] They are also more susceptible to diseases such as cancer and pneumonia due to a weakened immune system. [93] Programs aimed at maintaining balance, muscle strength, and mobility have been shown to reduce disability among older people with mild (but not more severe) degrees of disability. [94]

Sexual expression depends largely on a person's emotional and physical health. Many older people continue to have an active sex life and are satisfied with their sexual activity. [95]

Mental disintegration can also occur, leading to dementia or diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. The average age of onset of dementia is 78.8 years for men and 81.9 years for women. [96] It is generally accepted that crystallized intelligence increases into old age, whereas fluid intelligence decreases with age. [97] Whether normal intelligence increases or decreases with age depends on the measure and the study. Longitudinal studies show that perceptual speed, inductive reasoning, and spatial orientation decline. [98] An article on adult cognitive development reports that cross-sectional studies show that "some abilities remained stable until early old age."

Immortalism

Immortalism (from Latin immortalitas, "immortality") is a system of views based on the desire to avoid death or postpone it for as long as possible.

A distinction should be made between scientific immortalism and esoteric immortalism, which differ radically from one another in terms of the methods proposed for achieving this goal.

Biological immortality — the absence, in a given biological species, of an increase in mortality over time from a certain age onward (in other words, a situation in which the probability of death per unit of time does not increase with age, meaning that organisms of this species do not die of old age). However, no creature is truly immortal, since it can still be killed by external factors.

Digital immortality — a hypothetical technology concept that would make it possible to preserve and transfer a person's personality onto more durable information carriers, that is, computers, and in the future allow a virtual copy to communicate with people. Based on information gathered about a person during their lifetime, the copy of their personality should be able to behave, react, and think in the same way as that person. Such a process is similar to a backup copy.

Negligible senescence is a term first introduced by Caleb Finch in 1990 . A number of authors use the term "insignificant aging," but this term, like "negligible senescence," is simply a variant translation of the English term "negligible senescence" coined by Finch.

The term negligible senescence refers to a rate of aging that is statistically difficult to distinguish from zero within the scale of a given sample, as well as to "non-aging" — a zero correlation between age and probability of death. In other words, it refers to cases of potential immortality in species whose individuals exhibit an enormous maximum lifespan (MLS), making it impossible to visually observe signs of their aging.

Negligible senescence as a phenomenon has traditionally been one of the strongest scientific arguments for concentrating humanity's efforts on the fight for radical life extension and for overcoming human aging

A significant proportion of supporters of transhumanism and singularitarianism place great hope in being able to achieve digital immortality by 2045 as part of the "2045 Initiative," by creating one or more non-biological functional copies of their brain, thereby leaving behind their "biological shell"

Modern views on the nature and mechanisms of negligible senescence. The factors listed below drive aging, shortening the lives of all living creatures except those species characterized by negligible senescence:

  1. gene mutations,

  2. oxidants (reactive oxygen species),
  3. telomere shortening,
  4. DNA methylation,
  5. glycation of proteins and DNA,
  6. genomic instability,
  7. hormonal imbalance,
  8. carcinogenesis,
  9. the harmful effects of stressors.

Opinions among modern researchers differ as to why organisms of species characterized by negligible senescence are insensitive to such dangerous threats.

At the World Congress on Gerontology, held in 2009 and bringing together leading experts in the field, one of the sessions was titled: "Human aging is no longer an unsolvable biological problem"

Modern science is moving toward a radical extension of human lifespan. Thanks to the invention of antibiotics and other advances in medicine over the course of the 20th century, average life expectancy in developed countries rose from 47 to 77 years. Any further increase in life expectancy — to 100–120 years or more — will apparently require a serious restructuring of the human body, both at the molecular level and at the level of organ and skeletal structure. This is already a task for transhumanism, one that goes far beyond the scope of modern medicine.

According to physicist Richard Feynman, there are no fundamental principles that limit the length of life or forbid immortality: "If a person tried to build a perpetual motion machine, they would run up against a prohibition in the form of a physical law. Unlike that situation, there is no law in biology that mandates the finiteness of every individual's life"

Immortalism is a key and foremost component of transhumanist ideology and is actively supported by all of its organizations.

In 2016, Chinese businessman Jack Ma stated that in the future the secret of immortality would be revealed and that a law would have to be passed mandating a limit on human lifespan

Parenting

Variables related to parenting alone typically account for 20 to 50 percent of the variance in child outcomes.

All parents have their own parenting style. According to Kimberly Copko, parenting styles "are based on two aspects of parental behavior: control and warmth. Parental control is the degree to which parents manage their children's behavior. Parental warmth refers to how much parents accept and respond to their children's behavior."

Parenting styles

The child development literature describes the following parenting styles:

  • Authoritative parenting is characterized by parents who have high parental warmth, responsiveness, and demandingness, but who are not prone to negativity and conflict. These parents are assertive but not intrusive or overly restrictive. This parenting method is associated with more positive social and academic outcomes. The favorable outcomes of authoritative parenting are not necessarily universal. Among African American adolescents, authoritative parenting is not associated with academic achievement without peer support for achievement. Children raised by authoritative parents "are more likely to become independent, self-reliant, socially accepted, academically successful, and well-behaved. They are less likely to report depression and anxiety and less likely to engage in antisocial behavior such as delinquency and drug use."
  • Authoritarian parenting is characterized by low levels of warmth and responsiveness combined with high levels of demandingness and firm control. These parents focus on obedience and closely monitor their children. Overall, this parenting style is associated with maladaptive outcomes. The outcomes are more harmful for middle-class boys than for girls, for white preschool girls than for black preschool girls, and for white boys than for Latino boys. In addition, the negative effects of authoritarian parenting among Asian Americans may be offset by positive peer support. Finally, among African Americans, some elements of authoritarian parenting, such as strict control and physical discipline, are not predictive of negative outcomes.
  • Permissive parenting is characterized by high levels of responsiveness combined with low levels of demandingness. These parents are indulgent and do not necessarily require mature behavior. They allow a high degree of self-regulation and generally avoid confrontation. Compared to children raised in an authoritative style, preschoolers raised in permissive households are less assertive. In addition, preschoolers of both sexes are less intelligent than children raised under authoritative parenting styles.
  • Rejecting or neglectful parenting is the final category. It is characterized by low levels of demandingness and responsiveness. These parents tend not to be involved in their child's life, have no structure in their parenting styles, and are not supportive of the child. Children in this category are generally the least competent of all the categories.

Mother and father factors

The roles of parents in child development are usually focused on the role of the mother. However, recent literature holds that the father plays an important role in child development. Supporting the role of fathers, studies have shown that 15-month-old children benefit significantly from extended interaction with their father. In particular, a study conducted in the US and New Zealand found that having a biological father present was the most significant factor in reducing rates of early sexual activity and rates of teenage pregnancy in girls. [107] In addition, another argument holds that neither the mother nor the father is actually essential for successful child-rearing, and that single parents as well as homosexual couples can support positive outcomes for a child. According to these studies, children need at least one consistently responsible adult with whom the child can have a positive emotional bond. Having more than one such figure increases the likelihood of positive outcomes for the child.

Divorce

Another parental factor that is often discussed in terms of its effect on child development is divorce. Divorce in itself is not a determining factor of negative outcomes for the child. In fact, most children from divorced families fall within the normal range of indicators of psychological and cognitive functioning. A number of mediating factors play a role in determining the consequences of divorce for the child; for example, divorce in families with young children often faces harsher consequences in terms of demographic, social, and economic changes than families with older children. Positive parenting after divorce is part of a pattern associated with positive child behavior, while hostile parental behavior leads to a destructive pattern, putting children at risk. In addition, the direct parent-child relationship also affects child development after divorce. Overall, the protective factors contributing to positive child development after divorce are maternal warmth, a positive father-child relationship, and cooperation between parents.
