Cephalocaudal development consists of the growth and development which occurs from the head to the downward area of the body. It basically involves the development which starts from the top of the bsody and works its way down which includes the development process from head to the feet. It explains that the development of the brain and head is considered to be more advanced than the other parts of the body.
