Document Summary
The study of human development is often categorized into 3 distinct categories: physical, emotional/social and cognitive. Prenatal: the most rapid time of change- a one celled organism is transformed into a human baby. Infancy and toddlerhood: birth to 2 years: emergence of motor, perceptual and intellectual capacities, beginnings of language and first intimate ties to others. Early childhood: 2 to 6 years: the body becomes longer, leaner and motor skills are refined, make believe and play and thought and language develop at a rapid pace, morality becomes evident and children make ties with peers. Middle child: 6 to 11 years of age: learn about a wider world and begin to accept responsibilities that increasingly mimic those that they will perform as adults. Improved athletic ability, participation in organized games with rules, basic literacy skills, morality, and self improvement. Adolescence: 11 to 18 years: period initiates the change to adulthood and puberty.
