INFANCY AND TODDLERHOOD

This blog is all about my learnings and takeaways about infancy and toddlerhood stages. These blog can be useful not just for learning purposes but it can be also useful as a reference when you are encountering a similar topic. I hope you enjoy!.


Now let's first talk about the definition of infancy and toddlerhood. Infancy is their early stage in the development or growth of something (about first 12 months of life), while toddlerhood comes on a word which is "toddler" that means a young child who is beginning to walk unsteadily (1-2 years of age). Their growth when it comes to these changes when it comes to physical, cognitive, and psychosocial growth is so noticeable when they are in theses early stages. 



Because of the dependency of those child in this particular stage of their development, the health maintenance of this children are provided by their parents. When we are talking about the growth of the child, the first one and a half to two years of life of a child are the ones who have the most dramatic growth. In these stages of the child, the parents are transformed into someone who manages to feed them and their sleep schedule to being a facilitator that keeps inspecting their mobile, energetic child. 


Lastly, why do we need to learn about infancy and toddlerhood?. It is because of the fact that someday, we are going to have our own child and it is important to learn these stages of their development to have a knowledge on what to expect and what to do. This lesson teaches us that it is important to make sure that we are knowledgeable when it comes to children because someday it will also benefit us as a parent.
