 The Developing Child
Child development entails the biological, psychological and emotional
changes that occur in human beings between birth and the end of
adolescence, as the individual progresses from dependency to increasing
autonomy. It is a continuous process with a predictable sequence, yet having
a unique course for every child.
There are various definitions of periods in a child's development, since each
period is a continuum with individual differences regarding start and ending.
Some age-related development periods and examples of defined intervals are:
newborn (ages 0–4 weeks); infant (ages 4 weeks – 1 year); toddler (ages 1–3
years); preschooler (ages 4–6 years); school-aged child (ages 6–11 years);
adolescent (ages 12–18).

Language Learning
In the first three years of life children learn how to speak a new
language, but how do they do it? As a parent, you are his main source
of learning, and the experiences you provide him with and the
language you expose him to will play a crucial role in his ability to
climb this huge mountain. Below is the media to influence on children
language learning:
• Parents
• Socializing
• Experinces

Acquiring language skills is a natural part of children's
development, so parents will gradually notice changes in
their child's ability to communicate and express themselves.
When and how children develop language skills is a subject
of interest to many professionals working in health,
psychology and education. The similarities and differences
between the cultural experiences of children and how these
are reflected in the development of their language skills is a
specific area of focus for research.
 Culture and Language

In American culture, children learn by verbal instruction,

whereas some other cultures learn by nonverbal instruction.
