Is human development best characterized as a slow, gradual process, or is it best viewed as one of the more abrupt changes?
I feel like this answer varies. It’s all of the factors like social, emotional, economic, environmental, etc. development is a slow process but is abrupt in a child’s life because they are growing fast so everything is changing for them fast as well. And it’s even more impactful if the child has bad environment or emotional states where their development is interrupted.
