Solution

The cephalo caudal sequence of development means that growth and control develop from the head downwards. Infants gain control over their head and neck first, then the arms and hands, and finally the legs and feet.

Examples:

  • Babies can lift their head before they can sit or walk.
  • They reach and grasp with their hands before they can kick or walk with their feet.
