10 Characteristics of Early Childhood Development, 2020

Early childhood development is the development of physical, mental, social, cognitive and motor development in children as they get older. Early childhood development period is from the birth of babies to the age of 8 years.  The complexities of the work they do also increase with age. The 10 key features of early childhood development can be mentioned as follows.



Walking practice

When toddlers are 1 and 2 years old, they start practicing walking. Toddlers try to get up and walk by holding things like chairs and beds that come in front of them. They can fall while walking. At this time, they have to take special care. Sharp objects and harmful substances should not be placed near them.

Sudden Anger or Frustration (Tantrums)

During early childhood development, emotional outbursts can be seen in toddlers such as screaming, violent behavior, anger, stubbornness, beating, etc. They show such disposition when their work is interrupted or they do not get what they want. These are all natural conditions seen during early childhood development. It seems to improve as toddlers get older.

Development in memory

When parents take them somewhere or when they look out of the window, they start reacting to the objects they see. That is, they try to be familiar with objects or events. During this time toddlers begin to remember many things. They remember family members, toys, body parts, and pets. Also, with the help of remembrance, they start memorizing short songs and rhymes.

Start talking

Toddlers begin to speak in a parrot voice with words like "yes!", "No!", "I!", "Mine!", "Me!", "more!". They use one of these words to find out something or to hide what they have, or even to ask for something from others. They begin to mimic the sounds of animals, such as cats, dogs, and pigs, and so on.

Toilet training

It is generally believed that toddlers should be taught to use the toilet at the age of two. At this age, they begin to know why they need to go to the toilet and when to go to the toilet. Toddlers before the age of 2 are not feeling these things. After the age of two, they even show interest in toilet training.

The beginning of writing

From the age of three to five, children begin to develop better motor skills. Earlier, when children found pencils, they used to draw on the wall, draw pictures, but now they will start writing the alphabets notebooks. He will also start writing some words and short sentences.

They even start talking to the dolls as friends. Children act as some personalities like teaching dolls like a teacher, asking questions like the police, etc.

Start sentences

When children finish their preschool lessons, they will begin to form sentences with more than one word. They will start arguing. If you are watching cartoon videos, then the plays shown there will start speaking by acting in the real world. At this point they will even have a two-way conversation and have no problem asking for what they need, and may even tell you what rank or appearance they need.

To be curious

During preschool, children ask questions with sentences like "why?" "How?". "What is it?", "How does it happen?", "Why is it happening?" Asking questions and even talking about these issues. Where does the milk come from?, and "Where do the babies come from?" Such fascinating curiosities come to their minds.
