Ever wonder what's going on in that little mind? Understanding child development stages is like having a secret decoder ring to your child's behavior! These stages aren't rigid timelines, but rather helpful guides.
Infancy (0-2 years) is a period of rapid growth and discovery through senses and movement. Think cuddles, coos, and wobbly steps! Early Childhood (2-6 years) sees a surge in language, imagination, and social skills. Prepare for endless 'whys' and epic pretend play! Middle Childhood (6-12 years) focuses on academic skills, peer relationships, and developing a sense of self. They're figuring out who they are and where they fit.
Each stage presents unique opportunities for learning and growth. By understanding these milestones, you can better support your child's development and celebrate their individual journey. Remember, every child is unique, so enjoy the ride and embrace the wonder of watching them grow!
