INTRODUCTION

Growing up is never easy. You need to master various developmental tasks to cope with
challenges and to prepare yourself for the next developmental stage. According to Robert Havighurst, one
of the pioneers in human development studies, these developmental tasks refer to the specific knowledge,
skills, attitudes, and functions that a person needs to acquire and, in turn, be able to demonstrate at
particular periods in his or her life. Knowing these tasks is very useful. They are your guide to know what is
expected of you. They show you the things that you will encounter in the next stage. Thus, you become
motivated to do what society expects you to.

CONTENT
Human Development focuses on human growth and changes across the lifespan, including physical, cognitive,
social, intellectual, perceptual, personality and emotional growth.

The study of human development is essential to understanding how humans learn, mature and adapt.
Throughout their lives, humans go through various stages of development.
 The human being is either in a state of growth or decline, but either condition imparts change. Some aspects of
our life change very little over time, are consistent. Other aspects change dramatically. By understanding these changes,
we can better respond and plan ahead effectively.
