B6 Major life events that affect development

Predictable events:
• these are events that are expected to happen at a particular time. While expected, they may still have an effect on a person’s health and wellbeing. This effect can be positive or negative, regardless of the event.

Unpredictable events:
• these are events that happen unexpectedly and can have serious physical and psychological effects on an individual. These effects can be positive or negative, regardless of the event.

Many events can be either predictable or unpredictable depending on the life course of the individual. They can include:
• starting school/nursery
• moving house
• marriage and divorce
• starting a family
• beginning employment
• retirement o death of a relative/partner/friend
• accidents or injury
• changing employment
• leaving home
• promotion or redundancy
• serious illness.
