Our developmental periods, which start with fertilization and continue until the end of life, each has its own characteristics. We begin this course by studying the characteristics of developmental periods of early childhood, including the biological and environmental factors that can affect development. This course will help you answer questions like, "What is language development?" or "What are child-related factors?" in early childhood development (ECD).

We also look at the effects of heredity and environment on development, as well as the importance of reaching physical milestones. We then describe indicators that physical development is proceeding normally, including the nervous and endocrine systems and bodily organs. You will have the answer to questions like, "What are the environmental factors that can impact my child?" or "What are some educational institutions that can assist children with improving their gross and fine motor skills?"

The course provides the tools you need to comprehend the first six years of a child's physical development. You can confidently apply these practical techniques and important concepts to understanding the critical period from birth to age six. We describe the everyday life of an infant and the many changes that they will experience throughout their physical development.
