The cephalocaudal trend is the prenatal growth from conception to 5 months when the head grows more than the body. It is also the trend of infants learning to use their upper limbs before their lower limbs. The proximodistal trend is the prenatal growth from 5 months to birth when the fetus grows from the inside of the body outwards. When referring to motor development, the proximodistal trend refers to the development of motor skills from the center of the body outwards.
center to peryphery
Cephalocaudal development starts from the head first down to the toes. Proximodistal development begins at the center of the body going outward to the arms and legs.
the development is from near to far; that is, from the central axis of development to the externalities
Yes, the proximodistal pattern of development refers to growth that occurs from the center of the body outward. In the context of the practice you are referring to, it could involve focusing on developing skills or abilities that are more central or foundational before moving on to more peripheral or complex ones.

Quantitative development is what we call ''growth development'' wherein this is the changes of individual as he/she progresses in chronological ways. ---increases in size or weight... Cristel Caisio
The cephalocaudal law maintains that development spreads over the body form head to foot. The proximodistal law maintains that development spreads outward from the central axis of the body or trunk to the extremities like hands and feet.

The instructions for growth and development are in DNA.
