DEVELOPEMENT
INFANCY STAGE(0 TO 5 YEARS)
● Age of infancy is marked by an increase of independence on the part
of the baby as he is able to sit , stand and walk at his own will.
● The basic foundation of physical , mental and personality
development are laid in this stage.
● According to ADLER infancy prepares the style of life.
It lays down the entire program for the future life of the
Child.
● FREUD is also of the opinion that within 4 or 5 years the child
becomes what he has to grow in the coming life.
● HURLOCK calls it a “dangerous age” referring to a large number of
