The Child's Development

Child development refers to the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social growth that children undergo from birth to adolescence. It encompasses milestones such as learning to walk, talk, and think critically. These changes are influenced by genetics, environment, and experiences. Early development includes sensory exploration and social interactions, while later stages focus on more complex skills like problem-solving and emotional regulation. Understanding these stages helps caregivers support healthy growth, ensuring children develop into well-rounded individuals capable of navigating the world. Each child develops at their own pace, making individualized attention important.
