Child Development

Child development refers to the process through which children grow and mature, encompassing physical, cognitive, emotional, and social changes from infancy through the end of adolescence. This field studies how children acquire skills and abilities, the stages they go through, and the influences of various factors such as genetics, environment, and culture on their growth. Key areas of focus within child development include language acquisition, motor skills, problem-solving abilities, social interactions, and emotional regulation. Understanding child development is crucial for parents, educators, and policymakers to support healthy growth and development in children.
