Childhood is mainly classified into three stages - early childhood, middle childhood and adolescence. Every one experiences this stage of life and it is the most important stage of life.
Introduction:
Childhood is truly a golden period because it is the age where care is taken by parents and at that age they are provided all basic supplements. Children's job is to eat sleep and play. That is why there is no tension to worry them and their minds are not polluted by any malpractices. Parents serve their kids and at that stage the kids consider their parents as gods. Generally the childhood starts from birth. It is defined as the time period from birth to adolescence and we cannot mention certain age limit to childhood because it depends from person to person. So most of countries have a certain age that is age of majority. The age limit is between 16 to 21 years and varies from country to country depending on their legal rule. Stages of childhood :
Early childhood or initial stage of child
Early childhood is a period that begins from birth and the baby tries hard to adjust himself in the world. Care must be taken because negligence may also lead to death of the baby. It is also called as play age.
Initially the baby is fed with mother's milk at least for three to six month and later the baby can be with some other source of food like celeriac. But mother's milk is generally advisable for longer time because it makes the baby healthy. Some babies unfortunately lose their mother at their birth so provision for mother's milk can also be provided. Grannies believe that God speaks to baby in their dream.
Slowly they begin to crawl and slowly start walking. Initially they stand by means of some support and at times they fall down in this process and finally within a few weeks they manage to stand on their own. Generally this take place at age limits of one to two and a half. Almost all the babies walk by two years. We always wonder that how babies talk and they grasp only their mother tongue only because they hear it from their parents and other adult and grasp it. Human beings are blessed with communication skills and babies first cry and shout making different noises. Slowly as they grow they recognize their basic relatives like mother, father, grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings and cousins. They can also communicate to intimate their basic needs like food, water and sleep. This age is fun age as there are no expectation upon babies, it is sufficient for parents if their kid eats and sleeps on time.Middle childhood
At this stage the baby grows up into a little responsible kid. In fact babies are selfish because they can't understand situation where as in kids understanding power increases a bit more than the earlier stage. They start going to school and learn basic manner and primary education.
At this stage the memory of the kid is abnormally high because they can pick up or grasp anything easily and scholar's state that something taught at this stage is never forgotten in one's life times. Basic education is a must because civilizes the kid and teaches him morals. In all countries the primary education is provided free of cost. The child gets used to certain new bonding like friends, teachers and also they try to make themselves independent like eating by them, doing homework, going to school and certain other tasks.
This stage is also called as development age. The kid tries harder to adjust himself to the world and its emotions.
The kids are also exposed to the outer atmosphere and share and express thoughts. They can differentiate between good and bad up to some extent. They are undergoing changes so the kids can also get spoiled. Hence parents should have control and knowledge upon their child's deeds. They must understand their child mind set and spend some time with them teaching good things. This is the stage where the child can understand, think and express his views. Adolescence
At this stage the kid grows into a complete adult and they can understand all emotions like pain, happiness, sorrow, grief, enjoyment and all other things. They leave their childishness and grow up with attitude. They develop self attitude and take up responsibilities and think several times that deeds done will fetch them or not. They are open to world that is they can understand the value and meaning of love, care, scarifies for the sake of other and also complicated thing in simple manner. This stage is observed is most of people only in graduation period or when they start working for their means. They also understand the value of money, hard work and education and turn up becoming a responsible child to parent and citizen to country.
Not all people understand well and succeed in life only few people turn successful because they are give strong platform in their early and middle childhood. All children come to world in same fashion but all are not achievers only because they neglected their childhood. It is not easy to correct yourself at this stage. They is every chance of spoiling one's at any stage of life or any point of life but the one who is taught good manners and civilizes himself, who can distinguish between good and bad and control his emotion can successful led his life.
Take up the right attitude to be determined and determination can do wonders, that is it can even turn a thief into scholar. So develop the attitude to be more determined from childhood itself so that you can enjoy every stage of life because the time and age lost will never come back. Childhood is the most important part and most memorable in one's life because you start your life as tiny dot. Childhood is golden period just because you have no worries and tensions and not exposed to problems directly as you are under control of elders and care takers around you.
