cells that it will ever have, more than 10 billion, but it will also go through a major period of growth (Lightfoot, Cole & Cole, 2008). Neurological functions
become more developed, including sensory perception, motor and cognitive functions. Brain growth slows after infancy and between ages 1-5, children with gain about 10 percent of their total brain mass
(growing from 80 percent to 90 percent of an adults brain) (Lightfoot, Cole & Cole, 2008). Continued myelination occurs, improving the speed of neural impulses (Lightfoot, Cole & Cole,
2008). Brain growth slows again, with most children gaining about 5 percent of their total brain mass during their middle childhood (from
80 to 90 percent) (Crandell & Beiger, 1994). Continued myelination occurs at a lesser rate.
The nearly full-size brain at the onset of adolescence and only minimal growth occurs, though the brain goes through the continued process of myelination for improving synaptic function (Kail &
Cavanaugh, 2008). SKELETAL During the first year of an infants life, skeletal changes occur. The infant may experience solid gains in bone length. The most notable skeletal change,
though, is in the skull. During the first few years, the babys head grows considerably. The fontanels, which made the infants skull pliable enough to pass through the birth
canal, also provide for the rapid growth of the brain. Skeletal development slows considerably from infancy. The period of early and middle childhood shows only moderate
growth rates as compared to growth in infancy and during puberty. Skeletal development continues to remain at a constant during middle childhood, with only moderate growth rates as compared
