What to Focus On

  • Childhood has four sub-stages: infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence.
  • Infancy is the most rapid period of physical growth.
  • Early childhood is also called the preschool stage.
  • Physical growth slows after infancy but continues throughout childhood.
  • Motor development follows a fairly uniform sequence across cultures.
  • Individual differences are normal in the timing of milestones.
  • Gross motor skills use large muscle groups.
  • Fine motor skills use smaller muscles of the hands and fingers.
  • Crawling, standing, and walking are gross motor activities.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Piaget's stages are the same as the chapter's four sub-stages of childhood.

Egocentrism and centration mean the same thing.

Parallel play and cooperative play are the same because both involve children playing near each other.
