Developmental tasks

Explanation:

• Developmental tasks are predictable and consistent tasks which arise and occur at certain periods of life according to each stage of life of an individual.  
• These are the tasks that an individual acquires naturally and by learning.
• According to Havighurst, developmental tasks are based and arise from physical maturation, personal values, and from societal pressures.
• Physical growth and maturation at each developmental stage sets the milestones of developmental tasks.
• For example, an infant from age 0 to 6 years initially learns to sit, crawl, stand, and then walk.  
• Personal values define developmental tasks like behavioral and philosophical nature or outlook of an individual, choosing a degree or career, choosing life partner etc.
• For example, preparing for marriage and accepting and adjusting with the new life partner, choosing a career and reaching its goals
• Societal pressures like learning to be a responsible person in the society or a citizen, following rules and regulations, learning to read and achieve, achieve and succeed in career etc.
• For example, a student getting higher grades is accepted more in the society and this causes pressure among the student to perform well.
