Age group of children

Children are the flowers of the motherland and the future of the family. Childhood is an important age stage at the beginning of life, generally referring to the period from birth to 15 years old. If children want to grow healthily, parents are required to distinguish the age groups of children, understand the characteristics of children of different age groups, and teach according to the physical and psychological needs of children at this stage. Children are generally more attached to their parents during infancy, and parents are the best playmates for babies.

When children reach the preschool stage, they have their own ideas. They like to play with friends, play with toys by themselves, and can do small things by themselves. The following period is the preschool period. The education received during this period directly affects children’s lifestyle, learning and working abilities throughout their lives. Parents need to know the characteristics of children at different age groups so that they can take better care of them and help them develop better.

(1) Infancy: The age period from birth to the end of 12 months. This is what people call a "breastfeeding baby" under one year old.

(2) Infancy: The period from 1 to 3 years old is called infancy. This is the period before preschool, when growth and development in all areas are rapid.

(3) Preschool period: The age period from 3 to 6-7 years old. This is the period before children officially enter school, that is, the preparatory stage before receiving formal learning. The education that children receive during this period is children's enlightenment education, which is extremely important for their learning, ability to acquire knowledge, and level of labor skills throughout their lives.

(4) School age: The age period from 6 to 7 years old to 15 years old. In educational psychology, the period from 6 to 7 years old to 12 to 13 years old is called the early school age, which is equivalent to the primary school period. The major change that children experience when they enter the early school age is the shift from a lifestyle centered around play activities to one centered around learning.

The above introduces the different age groups of children. I hope that parents will seriously understand the education that children of different ages should receive, including daily living skills. Now many college students lack the ability to be independent in life, which is worth everyone’s consideration. Only when we truly educate children well and make them the pillars of the motherland can our country prosper.
