DCF Exam Study Guide with Complete
Solutions

Growth - ✔️✔️Correct-refers to specific body changes and increases in the child's size,

such as a child's height, weight, head circumference, and body mass index. These size

changes can usually be easily measured.


Development - ✔️✔️Correct-typically refers to an increase in complexity, a change from

relatively simple to more complicated. Development usually involves a progression

along a continuous pathway on which the child acquires more refined knowledge,

behaviors, and skills. The sequence is basically the same for all children, however, the

rate varies.

Similarities in growth: - ✔️✔️Correct->Growth proceeds from the head downward and

from the center of the body outward.

>Children gain control of the head and neck first, then the arms, and finally, the legs.

>At birth, the brain, heart, and spinal cord are fully functioning to support the infant.

>As children grow, the arm and leg muscles develop, followed by the finger and toe

muscles.

Differences in growth: - ✔️✔️Correct->Some children are taller, some shorter. Some

children are smaller, while others are larger.

>These differences are completely typical. Typical growth is supported by good

nutrition, adequate sleep, and regular exercise.

>Children do not grow at perfectly steady rates throughout childhood.

>Children will experience weeks or months of slightly slower growth, followed by growth

spurts.

>Differences in the amount of growth can be a source of self-consciousness for some

children.



*are typical

If you detect that a child is self-conscious about his/her size, how would you help

him/her work on increasing his/her self-acceptance? - ✔️✔️Correct-Either individually or

with a group of children, talk about how things are different but equally important and

valuable. You could use the example of a litter of puppies or kittens that are different

colors and sizes, both larger and smaller. While they are different, they are all special

and will grow into wonderful dogs or cats. You could also use different fruits, kinds of ice

cream—and finally differences in people—to help the child or children understand that

differences are not bad, but rather make each person special.

If you have some concern about a growth-related issue involving a child, how would you

approach this issue with the parent(s)? - ✔️✔️Correct-Share information about typical

growth patterns with the parent(s). You may wish to share it with all your parents. After

going over this information with the parent(s), you could ask them if they have any

questions or concerns and if they have had any discussions with the child's doctor. If

you detect the parent(s) have not had much interaction with a doctor and do not connect

the growth information with their child, gently explain your concerns and have available

local resources for medical care if the family needs that assistance. Make sure all

discussions occur in a calm and confidential manner.

Principle 1 - Developmental Sequence is Similar for All - ✔️✔️Correct->Children develop

in relatively the same ways.

>There is a typical sequence of development that occurs as a child grows.

>While the sequence is similar, and the behaviors or skills emerge in the same order,

children can take more or less time with each behavior or skill.

>They can move forward, regress for a short time, then move forward again.

>Some children may skip a behavior or skill as they move forward.

Principle 2 - Development Proceeds from General to Specific - ✔️✔️Correct-

>Development progresses from a beginning point moving in a forward direction.

>Just as growth of an infant proceeds from the top down and from the center of the

body to the limbs, development of behaviors and skills moves from general to specific.

>As children mature, their bodily changes occur in a sequential order and give children

new abilities.

>As the brain and nervous system develop, a child's thinking (cognitive) skills and motor

skills improve.
