When I Think Of Child Development

Child Development
Our Future starts here while the baby is still in the womb waiting to enter the world.


The newborn is instantly zestfully ready for life. (Berger 2009)







Toddler Years (1-3) are a time of great growth and change. This is the time when the toddlers learn how to walk and start putting sounds together. Their cognitive, social and behavior skills are happening fast.
Preschool years   (2-6) at this age children motor skills are more advance. Children are exploring new ideas and habits. They are becoming more independent and they have a larger vocabulary. At this age the children are more socially involve with other children.  
  
This is our School-age children (7-11) who are ready to learn whatever adults teacher them. Berger 2009) Peer acceptance is very important to them at this age. They want to be accepted and approved from their peers. School –age children are highly active in physical activities such as sports or outdoor playing. They become more flexible, logical and knowledgeable. (Berger 2009)
