Abstract

Human organism goes through lots of changes until it reaches adult size. Several factors affect the embryo and the foetus during intrauterin life, then after birth even more impact reaches the organism, influencing the direction of growth and development. To understand the mode of action of these factors, we have to be familiar with the age and gender characteristics of growth and maturation, the body composition and body shape. The most important factors that influence growth and development are: nutritional habits, physical activity, climate, height above sea level, the change of seasons, temperature, the socio-economic status, illnesses, and last but not least, the parental love. It is important for teacher candidates to get to know these factors and their positive or even negative effects on developing child organism. Paying attention not only to the education but to the growth and development of children, teachers are trusted with the preservation of the health condition of our society.
