Understanding Child Development: Milestones and Stages

Abstract

Author(s):

Childhood is a time of rapid growth, learning, and development. From infancy to adolescence, children go through a series of developmental stages that shape their physical, cognitive, emotional, and social abilities. Understanding these milestones and stages can help parents, caregivers, and educators support children’s growth and provide them with the tools they need to thrive.
