Within this assignment I am going to talk about Bella, she is 2 days old. The life stage she is in at the moment is infancy which is from 0-5 years old. I am going to talk about any mental health issues she may develop and/or disabilities. This also includes the factors that affect human growth and development, also the care of individuals, the impact of significant life events also nature vs nurture. I am going to do this through a case study approach.

As Bella gets older there are many factors that can have an effect on human growth and development. One of the factors being a disability. If a child is born with a disability it can prevent them from achieving their best in life. This is due to the fact that they might need 24 hour care every single day. This also puts them at a disadvantage sometimes because they are not capable to make the right decisions for themselves or to work at the speed and style of the other students. Another factor that could affect human growth and development is exercise, if a child does not get enough exercise they could become overweight or obese. This could have a significant impact on the human growth and development of an individual because having too much fat around your organs at a young age could prevent the developing to their capacity. If the fat is too much on the organs at a young age it could get worse and eventually kill the individual. A third factor that could affect human growth and development is their choice of lifestyle. To some children this can be fatal because if they have parents that have a lot of alcohol and use drugs they might inherit their parent’s habits and using drugs at a young age can affect the development of their brain as their brain develops until they are 25. If they go on and use drugs in the future it could leave them with a serious health condition that can be cured, if the individual stops using drugs and alcohol (Prezi, 2018)

As Bella gets older there will be different care needs she will require. When she is a baby one of her care needs is that she will need to go to the doctors for her jabs these will help to protect her against nasty infections such as: measles and tetanus. As Bella gets older she will have many different care needs. If she develops a mental health issue she will have a social worker visit her at her house to see how she is doing and whether she is progressing. Another care need Bella might req
