for myself, i think of words like change, rather than development,
transgressions, movements, learning, choosing, identifying, adapting,
becoming, belonging, where there is no specific pace of growth, but rather
kinds of changes that place in a person's life, from prenatal life through
to afterlife.
development for me, is too much associated with norms of developing,
with stages of development, with discontinuous growth, and with
measurement -
thinking about these processes as as change, learning, as difference,
transgression, explains more of the deviations as well as those who fit
the norms.
