The document discusses physical, cognitive, and emotional development in early childhood from ages 2 to 6. Key points include: - Children's bodies become leaner and taller during this period, with significant brain growth and development of motor skills. - The prefrontal cortex matures, leading to improvements in emotions, impulse control, and memory. - Injuries are a leading cause of death for young children, but can be reduced through safety practices and prevention efforts. - Child abuse and neglect can severely impact development and should be identified through warning signs and addressed through intervention programs.
