INTRODUCTION
Lifecyle development is really a necessary topic to be discussed. Each person has to
deeply understand its lifecycle for gaining effective outcomes in daily lives. Basically, analysis
of lifecycle development topic aware different people about how to develop own health aspect
for living a healthy and wealthy lifestyle. In this dynamic and modern world, the value of
lifecycle development is day to day increasing, because when any person takes steps towards
developing its lifecycle for improving its levels of health (Trauzettel and Minge, 2016).
Currently many institutes exist in the United Kingdom which teach about this topic of lifecycle
development to different people in market place. This report discusses the lifecycle development
aspect of different children of Morgan family. Currently Harry and Jake are two brothers in this
family with age of nine and six respectively, and these both brothers face learning disabilities, so
they have required special and specific education statements to behavioural and emotional
difficulties. Currently Jake has health issue of asthma as well.
This reports basically discusses that, how a social worker needs to help and support
children, when they are in trouble. For example; currently Harry (Nine) and Jake (Six) are not
able to understand emotions of people, and their parents are also completely careless, in which
this is the responsibility of local healthcare authority to provide foster home to these both
children, because recently Harry and Jake were found wandering the streets by a neighbour.
According to current situation of both brothers, existing social workers’ team should be focused
on providing an excellent service to these brothers. However, according to the case study, local
authority has already taken an appropriate step towards providing them better accommodation
facility in the foster home (Rao, Sekharaiah and Narayan, 2018). On the other side, the report
discusses different stages of the lifecycle of Harry and Jake as well. Some relevant theories and
models also have been used in this report which can properly explain lifecycle development.
Some key factors also have been discussed in this report which will show the actual importance
of lifecycle development.

TASK 1
Different stages of the lifecycle
Life cycle development refers to all those process from a child to become a adult. A
special care is needed in this and if children's were not proper care then it will impact on their
growth. It is very necessary for parents to look their children in early stages so that upbringing
can be properly done. Jack is 6 year child whose parents are properly concern about him and
which leads to effect on his life cycle development. There are 3 stages which describe lifecycle
of human beings childhood, Adulthood and old age.
Social
Parents of Jack are alcoholic and drug addict which effect on Jack’s life. He often roams
around the places alone and remains close to sibling which makes him introvert. Physical abuse
in the family can make him a criminal and hence needful care is needed by care houses. Father
and mother difference may highly affect on his social behaviour. Might be he dislike relations
and may be influence by it which can create multiple problems if he gets married (Peek and
Domingue, 2020). There are number of challenges that are face by child such as not able to learn
and hence study effected. Jack also has asthma which makes him unhealthy and also increases
chances of Irritability. Jack need proper attention care as it will impact on his future lifestyle and
may be become mentally challenged.
Emotional
Parents of the child are not close to each other which change the definition of relationship
for jack. Child become emotional sick because of parents are not concentrated on him and
remain busy in maintaining their own lifestyle. Drug addiction and alcoholic nature of father and
mother sometimes scared the child. In such cases jack might be started living alone or try to
addict such kind of addiction which affect his future life. Shifting to care home may also impact
on his life because for good upbringing parents are needed and early childhood always need their
care.
