child
|
a person
undergoing the period of development from infancy to puberty—two more familiar words that are frequently used inexactly. |
|
|
infancy
|
derives from Latin
roots meaning “not speaking,” and infancy is usually defined as the first 2 years of life, or the period of life before the development of complex speech. We stress the word complex because many children have a large vocabulary and use simple sentences before their second birthday. |

Development
|
is the orderly appearance, over time, of physical struc-
tures, psychological traits, behaviors, and ways of adapting to the demands of life. The changes brought on by development are both qualitative and quantitative. |
