Child development involves children progressing through developmental milestones across physical, intellectual, and social-emotional domains at typical ages and stages. It is a process where children gain skills in areas like movement, problem-solving, communication, and relationships. Studying child development is significant because children have growth stages that build on each other, while each child develops at their own pace across domains simultaneously.
