From birth until the age of six, a child experiences an enormous growth.
Over only a period of five, six years, it grows from a helpless, dependent
creature into a walking, thinking, increasingly independent child. This growth
stretches out over different development areas, i.e. its physical development
(such as motor control and the physical ability of speech), its cognitive 6
development (through which it learns to think and speak), as well as its
emotional and social development (to develop a sense of self and begins to
detach itself from its caretakers).
