Hi Sarzy,

Found some info that might help:

Early childhood tasks (birth – 6 years)

• Learning to walk, take solid foods, control body wastes, and developing physiological stability depends on physical maturation.
• Learning to talk depends upon cognitive maturation, but hearing language from others will play an important role.
• Forming simple concepts of social and physical reality relates to cognitive development and the development of thinking.
• Learning sex differences and sexual modesty is the beginning of sex role identification.
• Learning to relate oneself emotionally to parents, siblings, and other people is accomplished largely by modelling the behaviours of others. Thus, parents see and hear their children reflecting their behaviours.
• Learning to distinguish right and wrong and developing a conscience is the beginning of social development and responsibility.
