Lifespan development is a process starts from the birth of a human being and continues until death. The development begins with the creation of a fetus from a single cell. When a child is born, his immediate environment begins to influence his development. The main developmental periods are childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, middle adulthood and late adulthood.
