All individuals go through the same developmental processes.
Growth and development do not proceed at a consistent rate.
The pattern of growth and development is continuous, orderly, and predictable.

Every person proceeds through stages of growth and development at an individual rate.
Every stage of development has specific characteristics.
Each stage of development has certain tasks to be achieved or acquired during that specific time.

Principles of Growth and Development
Some stages of growth and development are more critical than others.
A critical period can be a time of the most rapid growth or development in a particular stage of the life cycle.
Growth and development may temporarily be stalled or regress during critical periods “touch points.”
