Human development
Human development describes the stages of human life. Human development consists of 5 stages. Infancy (up to one year), toddler (age 1 - 5), childhood (age 3 - 11), adolescence (age 12 - 18), and adulthood. The study of human development aims to understand how people grow, develop, and change throughout their life.
