INTRODUCTION
A life cycle defines the phases of organism experience as it goes through its lifetime.
Henceforth, the stages and duration of life stages is varied at each phase (He, Sun and Jiang,
2020). Life cycle is inclusive of the developmental stages.
The present report is based on the case study on the Moore family that aids to explain the
purpose of the study. Thus, assignment will cover the issue on case study.
Furthermore, assignment will be based on discussion on different stages of the life-cycle.
Hence, assignment will analyse the different requirements at varied points of life-cycle. Lastly,
theories will be applied in terms to explain the dynamics of Moore family focussing on Jacob.
MAIN BODY
TASK 1
Discussion on different phases of the life-cycle.
Life cycle is termed out as series of changes that an individual face during the given
developmental stage to life. In addition to this, life-cycle development process is filled with
varied experience (Richardson and Smiseth, 2019). Thus, it can be stated that the life experiences
shares the similarities and they are unique in may ways. Therefore, individuals experience
similar aspects of growth and development from birth to death. Life-cycle development is termed
out as the process that deals with progression through a series of differing stages of development.
In the present case study, the learning disability of Jacob has been defined as he suffers from
Diabetes. His parents were addicted to drink and due to this he was not getting proper care in his
growth period. Child development termed out as natural growth and learning that occurs in all
children from birth to adulthood and this is inclusive of physical, intellectual, social and
emotional growth.
Human development can be called out as lifelong process beginning before birth and
extending to death. Thus, physical changes largely drive the process as this is inclusive of the
wide range of the cognitive abilities that advance and decline in response to the brain growth in
childhood and reduce function in old age.
On the other hand, psychological development is termed out as influenced with physical
growth as changes body and brain together with environment, shape and also aids to investigate
relationship with other individuals ( San-Francisco, Sopelana and Minguez, 2020).

Different phases of life-cycle-:
Social development- It is termed out as the development phase and can be termed out as
learning process that must be clearly monitored and guided by the guardians of child. In the
present care study, Jacob is six and Berry is 9. Both required careful social development as they
both were having learning disability. Jacob also has diabetes issues. With the help of
encouraging child to get involved in the role plays aids to boost social development as this needs
verbal and non-verbal communications (Huang, Tseng and Lin, 2020). Henceforth, this can be
stated that the process of social development in the children is quite slow and this uses to
stretches over the many years. Child social activities enhance with passage of time and this is
called out as socialization process that continuous throughout the life.
Emotional development- It is stage that inclusive of ability to recognise, express and manage
feeling at different stage of life and to have the empathy for feelings of others. Therefore,
development of these emotions can be inclusive of positive and negative emotions (Alatinga,
2019). In order to enhance the emotional learning disability Berry and Jacob needs effective care
and handling of their parents. With help of proper care the effective development of the child can
be possible.
Cognitive development- This is defined as development that refers to how a person perceives,
thinks and gains understanding about the things. It is stage when chide comes to his
adolescence's is the changing process of thought, learning and perception as child develops from
infancy to adulthood (Hu, Wang and Wang, 2019). Jacob and Barry needs special focus as they
have suffers from learning disability. This is crucial for care givers to set good examples of
behaviour.
Physical development- It is development that is inclusive of developing control over the body
and this includes physical conditions. Thus, parents of Jacob and Berry were addicted to drinking
problems (Hu, Wang and Wang, 2019). As they do not focus on their children properly.
Therefore, peak of physical development happens in childhood and this is crucial time for
undertaking the neurological development of brain and body coordination that encourage
specific activities such as grasping, writing, crawling and walking etc. Therefore, physical
development cope up with stress and this also aids to promote growth and development and
develops self esteem.
