Halfon & Forrest (2017) suggested that there are seven principles which define Life Course Health Development (LCHD): Health development, Unfolding, Complexity, Timing, Plasticity, Thriving and Harmony. Select one of these principles to write about. 1) Define the principle; 2) Explain its implications on the development process; 3) Describe how that principle may influence the adaptive capability of an individual (or population); 4) Give an example.
Let’s try to provide a good discussion on ALL the principles. LATE POSTERS: please select a principle that does not have many posts.

Option 2: Health and well being, parenting, education, sociocultural contexts and diversity, and social policy are all areas of contemporary concern that are closely tied to lifespan development. Are all of these contemporary concerns equally important during each stage of the lifespan? As you look at these concerns is there one concern that stands out as more important than the others to you? Explain your answer.
