Babyhood
Babyhood refers to the early stage of human development, typically from birth to around two years of age. During this period, infants undergo rapid physical and cognitive growth, learning essential skills such as crawling, walking, and speaking. This stage is crucial for forming attachments, primarily with caregivers, which influences emotional and social development.
In babyhood, babies rely heavily on their caregivers for nourishment, comfort, and safety. They communicate their needs through crying and gradually begin to express themselves through gestures and sounds. This phase is characterized by exploration, as babies learn about their environment through sensory experiences and play, laying the foundation for future learning.
