Development as Multidimensional and plural

Multidimensional and plural development describes any development


with many different aspects of development. Multidimensional approach
is related with all the factors responsible for child development.

#There are biological dimensions. For example, the comfort an upset


child receives from her mother's loving embrace, utilizes the biological
component of touch, while providing the child with emotional
reassurance (cognitive) that all will be okay, and lastly, helps the socio-
emotional process by creating a stronger emotional bond with the
mother. Biological processes are exhibited through the physical changes
an individual undergoes through the course of their life. The biological
changes include both normal and abnormal growth and development in
the body. Going through puberty, for example, is a normal biological
process that occurs during the development of an individual.

#There are cognitive dimensions. Cognitive processes are exhibited


through the changes in an individual's language, thoughts and
intelligence. Human naturally grow and develop in their cognitive
functioning, learning to rationalize and communicate more effectively as
they grow and develop. The ability to make decisions, as well as more
accurate judgments, usually increases as an the individual ages. For
example, a baby develops their ability to speak around a year or so of
age. This ability continues to develop over a span of many years.

#There are socio-emotional dimensions


Socio-emotional Processes are exhibited through the changes to an
individual's relationships with others. As an individual grows and
changes, the relationships they form with others change. For example,
the relationship a child has with their grandmother at age six is much
different than the relationship they may have with the same
grandmother at the age of twenty-five.
