where he has gone wrong and right in the past. It helps to plan the future in a better constructive way. Using a bond

Topic 1: DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES

Human Development focuses on human growth and changes across the lifespan, including physical, cognitive,
social, intellectual, perceptual, personality and emotional growth.
 The study of human developmental stages is essential to understanding how humans learn, mature and adapt.
Throughout their lives, humans go through various stages of development.
The human being is either in a state of growth or decline, but either condition imparts change. Some aspects of our
life change very little over time, are consistent. Other aspects change dramatically. By understanding these
changes, we can better respond and plan ahead effectively.

HAVIGHURST`S DEVELOPMENTAL TASKS DURING THE LIFE SPAN

Robert J. Havighurst - elaborated on the Developmental Tasks Theory in the most systematic and extensive manner. His main assertion is
that development is continuous throughout the entire lifespan, occurring in stages, where the individual moves from one stage to the next
by means of successful resolution of problems or performance of developmental tasks.
These tasks are those that are typically encountered by most people in the culture where the individual belongs. If the person
successfully accomplishes and masters the developmental task, he feels pride and satisfaction, and consequently earns his community
or society’s approval. This success provides a sound foundation which allows the individual to accomplish tasks to be encountered at
later stages. Conversely, if the individual is not successful at accomplishing a task, he is unhappy and is not accorded the desired
approval by society, resulting in the subsequent experience of difficulty when faced with succeeding developmental tasks. This theory
presents the individual as an active learner who continually interacts with a similarly active social environment.
Havighurst proposed a bio psychosocial model of development, wherein the developmental tasks at each stage are influenced by the
individual’s biology (physiological maturation and genetic makeup), his psychology (personal values and goals) and sociology
(specific culture to which the individual belongs).

Topic 2: LIVING MINDFULLY

Living mindfully is like being an artist: you need the right tools to practice your craft, and you need to constantly refine your
technique to achieve your creative potential. In the same way, using the present moment tools below will help you to hone a consistent
mindfulness practice that will in time lead to a more aware, compassionate and fulfilling way of life.

Tool 2: Listen Deeply. Listen with intention; let others fully express themselves and focus on understanding how they think and feel.
Tool 3: Cultivate Insight. See life as it is, allowing each experience to be an opportunity for learning.
Tool 4: Practice Compassion. Consider the thoughts and feelings of others and let tenderness, kindness and empathy be your guides.

thoughtful speech and nonviolence under every condition.
Tool 6: Express Gratitude. Practice gratitude daily and expand it outward, appreciating everyone and everything you encounter.
