Developmental Stages

Developmental stages refer to specific periods in a person's life marked by particular physical, emotional, cognitive, and social growth milestones. These stages outline how individuals grow and change over time, such as childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age. Each stage has characteristic skills and challenges, like learning to walk or managing complex relationships. Recognizing these stages helps us understand typical growth patterns and supports tailored guidance, education, and support throughout life's different phases. They serve as a framework for understanding human development from birth to old age.
