Nutrition in the rst year
Nutrition in the rst year of life moves from the infant being totally dependent on liquid feeds of breast milk and/or replacement milk products, to soft foods taken from a spoon at around 6 months of age (e.g. rice cereal, pureed vegetables) and water from a cup. Finger foods at 9 months of age allow independent eating, and then by 12 months of age the toddler will have at least 8 teeth and will enjoy joining in with the social activities of family meals (Australian Government Department of Health, 2022; American Academy of Pediatrics, 2020).
REFLECTION IN PRACTICE
Helping parents understand developmental milestones
Caregivers are often nervous about their infants and have many questions. Consider how you would respond to each of these questions:
> ‘My sister’s baby is already walking around the furniture at 9 months of age, but my son is
10 months old and still only crawling.’
> ‘My little boy has just started in a new school. He is 6 years old and he has started
wetting the bed over the last 3 weeks. He has not wet the bed since he was 4 years old. Should I put him back into a nappy until he settles down?’

Conducting a comprehensive health assessment of an infant requires an evaluation of the degree to which the infant has achieved the developmental tasks of infancy. It is important to remember that although individuals experience similar sequential physical, cognitive, psychosocial and moral changes during the same age periods, there is still a degree of normal variability from one child to another. Developmental tasks that are expected to be achieved during the infancy stage areto:
1. develop a basic, relative sense of trust
2. develop a sense of self as dependent on, but separate from, others,
particularly the mother
3. develop and desire affection for and response from others, particularly
themother
4. develop a preverbal communication system, including emotional expression,
to communicate needs and desires
5. begin to develop conceptual abilities and a language system
6. begin to learn purposeful ne and gross motor skills, particularly eye–hand
coordination and balance (
Figure 2.12)
7. begin to explore and recognise the immediate environment
8. develop object permanence.
Developmental tasks of toddlers (1 to 3 years)
The toddler period is one of steadily increasing growth, ne and gross motor development (
Figure 2.13), intense activity and discovery, rapid language development,
increasingly independent behaviours, and marked personality development. Key gross and ne motor, language and sensory milestones associated with the toddler period can be found in Table 2.2.

UNIT 1
One of the major developmental tasks for toddlers is toilet training. Readiness for toilet training is usually evident in children between the ages of 18 and 36 months. Girls tend to be ready to toilet train earlier than boys, but for independent toileting to occur, the following developmental changes are necessary. Voluntary control of the anal and urethral sphincters must be present including motor skills of sitting, walking and squatting. Fine motor skills
recognising the urge to defecate or urinate, being able to verbalise the urge to do so as well as the willingness and ability to sit on the toilet for 5 to 10 minutes. Parental recognition of the child’s level of readiness and willingness to invest the necessary time for toilet training are also essential for the toddler’s successful mastery of this task.
REFLECTION IN PRACTICE
Understanding toilet training
Parents often have difculty with toilet training their child and become frustrated when their rst attempts are not successful. What suggestions could you give a mother who has been trying unsuccessfully for the past 2 months with her 2.5-year-old son? The mother says that she had absolutely no problems with her rst child, a daughter, at the same age and cannot understand what the problem is this time.
A variety of life events and transitions may produce stress in the toddler. Among the most stressful is personal injury or illness, death of a parent, or loss through separation or divorce.
Children who have been successful in accomplishing the developmental tasks of infancy enter the toddler period with the basic relative trust needed for the achievement of the next tasks. The principal developmental tasks that must be mastered during the toddler stage are to:
1. interact with others less egocentrically
2. acquire socially acceptable behaviours
3. differentiate self from others
4. tolerate separation from key socialising agents (mother or parents)
5. develop increasing verbal communication skills
6. tolerate delayed gratication of wants and desires
7. control bodily functions (toilet training) and begin self-care (feed and dress
self almost completely).
REFLECTION IN PRACTICE
Identifying a pre-preps’ readiness for school
You are performing a health assessment and physical examination on 5-year-old Jamie for his annual check-up. After the examination, you ask the parents whether they have any questions. Jamie’s father expresses concern that the other children in his son’s pre-prep class are printing their names, but Jamie appears to have difculty holding a pencil or crayon. How would you respond to this concern?

The Triple P Parenting Program
A widely recognised parenting and family support resource, available in over 30 countries, is the Triple P Parenting Program (Positive Parenting Program). This program aims to limit severe behavioural, emotional and developmental problems in children, and supports positive parenting techniques to achieve this. The program is based on internationally relevant evidence and can be tailored to individual needs. Further, the Triple P program is evidenced to benet different cultures and socioeconomic groups. In both Australia and New Zealand, the Triple P program is well established and can be located via online links, child health programs/resources and government-based organisations. The program is a useful resource for healthcare and other professionals who work with children and families.

Developmental tasks of preschoolers (3 to 6 years)
During the preschooler period, children are focused on developing initiative and purpose. Play provides the means for physical, mental and social development, and becomes the ‘work’ of children as they use it to understand, adjust to and work out experiences with their environment (Figure 2.14). Preschoolers demonstrate an active imagination and an ability to invent and imitate. They constantly seek to discover the why, what and how of objects and events around them. They are literal in their thinking, are increasingly sociable with other children and adults other than their parents, and are increasingly aware of their places and roles in their families. Key gross and ne motor, language and sensory milestones associated with the preschooler period can be found in Table 2.3.

The preschooler stage of development is characterised by the renement of many of the tasks that were achieved during the toddler stage and by the development of the skills and abilities that prepare children for the signicant lifestyle change of starting school. Readiness for school is demonstrated by increased attention span and memory, ability to interact cooperatively, ability to tolerate prolonged periods of separation from family, and independence in performing basic self-care activities. Among the principal developmental tasks that must be mastered during the preschooler stage are to:
1. develop a sense of separateness as an individual
2. develop a sense of initiative
3. use language for increasing social interaction
4. interact in socially acceptable ways with others
5. develop a conscience
6. identify gender role and function
7. develop readiness for school.

agents and move to the broader world of peers (primarily same-sex peers) in their neighbourhoods and schools, as well as to teachers and adult leaders of social, sports and religious groups. They are increasingly exposed to others’ views and seek approval from people outside the home. School-age children become industrious workers as they develop the signicant physical, social and intellectual skills needed to operate in the broader and more diverse environment. They strive to be a part of a peer group and to achieve a variety of skills that are approved by others; in so doing, they become competent and condent in their own eyes.

Friendship in school-age children
Ten-year-old Pahia, who immigrated to Australia from Papua New Guinea 6 months ago, only speaks New Guinea Pidgin. Pahia’s English expression has developed quickly, but she still requires support in understanding others and to be understood clearly. Pahia presents to you, the school nurse, with a sore throat. As you are assessing her, she bursts into tears and cries, ‘I want to go home [to Papua New Guinea], I don’t have any friends.’ What is your response to Pahia?

Developmental tasks of adolescents (12 to 18 years)
The adolescent period is one of struggle and sometimes turmoil as the adolescent strives to develop a personal identity and achieve a successful transition from childhood to adulthood. For example, physical and sexual maturity is reached during adolescence, with girls tending to experience both puberty and a growth spurt earlier than boys. In addition, adolescents develop increasingly sophisticated cognitive and interpersonal skills, test out adult roles and behaviours, and begin to explore educational and occupational opportunities that will signicantly inuence future adult work life and socioeconomic status. Key gross and ne motor, language and sensory milestones associated with this period can be found in

REFLECTION IN PRACTICE
Adolescents’ reactions to physical changes
As the school nurse, you are presenting sexual education classes to all students in Year 6 at school. While you are explaining sexually transmitted infections, a few of the girls begin to giggle. You overhear one girl saying, ‘Ruby doesn’t have to worry about getting that, she’s got no boobs, so no guy will even look at her.’ How would you handle this situation?
Adolescents who have the support and trust of their families as they tackle the developmental tasks of this period are more likely to have a smoother and successful transition from the dependency of childhood to the independence of adulthood. If, however, their parents are too controlling, too permissive or too confrontational during this period, adolescents will experience difculty in judging the appropriateness of their behaviour and in forming self-identity as competent, worthwhile individuals. If adolescents are able to nd sufcient acceptance in a desired peer group or receive more positive than negative responses from the objects of their growing sexual or friendship interests, they will be able to work through feelings of inadequacy and insecurity, and become increasingly self-assured and competent in forming and maintaining adult relationships.
The principal developmental tasks that must be mastered during the adolescent stage are to:
1. develop self-identity and appreciate own achievements and worth
2. form close relationships with peers
3. gradually grow independent from parents
4. evolve own value system and integrate self-concept and values with those of
peers and society
5. develop academic and vocational skills and related social, work and civic
sensitivities

Developmental tasks of young adults (18 to 30 years)
Young adulthood is a time of separation from family and commencement of independence of life development, including new commitments, responsibilities, and accountability in social, work and personal relationships ( also a period when individuals are exposed to more diverse people, situations and values than ever before. For example, the trend for women, particularly in the Western world but more recently in many Asian countries also, is to choose to extend education and career development over establishing households with children. Another trend is the reduction in focus and choice of young people to establish agricultural and rural lifestyles that support their personal and ongoing family needs. For many countries this may include international immigration, not just migration from rural to metropolitan regions.
When parents and young adult offspring are able to resolve normal generational differences in philosophy and lifestyles, mastery of the young adult developmental tasks is greatly facilitated. Among the developmental tasks that the young adult must achieve are to:
1. establish friendships and a social group
2. grow independent of parental care and home
3. set up and manage one’s own household
4. form an intimate afliation with another and choose a mate or partner
5. learn to love, cooperate with, and commit to a life partner
6. develop a personal style of living (e.g. shared or single)
7. choose and begin to establish a career or vocation
8. assume social, work and civic responsibility and roles in social, professional,
political, religious and civic organisations
9. learn to manage life stresses accompanying change
10. develop a realistic outlook and acceptance of cultural, religious, social and
political diversity
11. form a meaningful philosophy of life and implement it in home,
employment and community settings
12. begin a parental role for own or life partner’s children or for young
people in a broader social framework; for example, teaching, health care, volunteer work.

Developmental tasks of early middle adulthood (30 to 50 years)
Middle age, ranging from 30 to 70 years, is the longest stage of the life cycle, and is now often divided into early and late middle adulthood. During early middle adulthood, individuals experience relatively good physical and mental health. They settle into careers, lifestyles, patterns of relationships (married, parental, partnered and single) (Figure 2.16), political, civic, social, professional and religious afliations and activities. During this stage, maximum productivity in work and inuence over themselves and their environments is achieved. It is also a period when individuals experience a need to contribute to the next generation (can be referred to as a legacy or personal contribution to life).

Many who choose to express their generativity through the parental role may, during this period, achieve both the successful launching of their children into responsible adult roles and the associated increase in leisure time and nancial resources needed to pursue enjoyable, non-parental goals and activities. Others, following divorce and remarriage/repartnering, may see a merging of offspring into new family groupings and the return to previous parental cycles. An increasing number of others, during or shortly after launching their young adult children into adult roles, may nd themselves having to take on the responsibility of chronically ill, ageing parents. Each such life event can generate stress and disruption in individuals’ lives with which they must cope. Developing effective coping strategies to manage the stress of life events or role transitions is a developmental task facing individuals in all life stages.
REFLECTION IN PRACTICE
Assessing development of early middle adulthood
During your assessment of adults in this developmental group, you need to consider whether they have achieved the following tasks:
1. attains a desired level of achievement and status in career
2. reviews, evaluates, renes and redirects career goals consistent with one’s personal
value system
3. continues to learn and rene competencies in areas of personal and career interests
4. manages life stresses accompanying change
5. continues to develop mature relationships with life partner and signicant others
6. participates in social, professional, political, religious and community activities
7. copes with an empty nest and possibly a relled nest
8. adjusts to ageing parents and helps plan support as required
9. continues enjoyable hobbies and leisure activities and begins to develop ones for their
post-retirement
10. begins to plan for personal, nancial and social aspects of retirement.
Consider the tasks aligned with this age group and apply these to a 35-year-old male who has just been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. How might this make him feel in relation to achieving these developmental tasks?
CHAPTER 2
Developmental tasks of late middle adulthood (50 to 70 years)
Many individuals during late middle adulthood may be diagnosed for the rst time with a chronic health problem, such as arthritis, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes or asthma. In addition, women generally experience a decrease in oestrogen and progesterone production, and undergo 40s or early 50s.
Changes also occur during late middle adulthood in work, family, social and community areas. For example, as the family structures change, parents rediscover being a couple and acquire new roles such as becoming grandparents. In addition, the gender developmental differences related to intimacy and autonomy seen in early adulthood begin to converge during late middle adulthood as men and women tend to take on similar life roles (Saxon, Etten & Perkins, 2015).
A variety of development tasks must be achieved by individuals during late middle adulthood. Among these tasks are to:
1. manage life stresses accompanying change
2. maintain interest in current political, cultural and scientic advances, trends

10. prepare for and adjust to role changes, changing nances and changing

Figure 2.17)
Developmental tasks of late adulthood (70 years to death)
How individuals during late adulthood physically and emotionally age and how they confront and adjust to the changes associated with this stage are widely divergent. For those who have achieved the developmental tasks of middle adulthood and are comfortable with the life goals they have achieved, independence from the workplace and time to pursue more leisure activities are welcomed. A loss of work-related status and social outlets, reduced income, a decline in physical and some cognitive capabilities, and decreased resistance to and recovery from illness are often linked to late adulthood. How individuals adapt and cope with these changes is dependent on a number of factors, such as health status, poverty, family relationships, isolation and experiences of abuse or neglect (Saxon, Etten & Perkinsl, 2015).
Among the developmental tasks that must be achieved during late adulthood
are to:
1. maintain and develop new activities that help retain functional capacities
2. accept and adjust to changes in mental and physical strength and agility and
health status
3. maintain and develop activities that contribute to a continuing sense of
usefulness, self-worth and enhanced self-image
4. develop new roles in the family as the oldest member
5. establish afliation with own age group
6. accept and adjust to changing, possibly restricted, circumstances – social,
nancial and lifestyle
7. adapt to loss of life partner, family members and friends
8. prepare for the inevitability of own death.
Developmental assessment tools
A variety of developmental assessment tools are available for the nurse to use. Some of the most common tools assess mental, physical, emotional and social functional status of individuals and families. It should be noted that using some of these tools often require specialised training. Table 2.6 summarises some of the tools that are frequently used.
