These stages are often used in developmental psychology to categorize the different phases of human development, each with its own set of characteristics, milestones, and challenges.
Here's a breakdown of how these stages are often grouped:
* Infancy: Birth to 2 years
* Early Childhood: 2 to 6 years
* Middle Childhood: 6 to 12 years
While other terms like "childhood" or "early development" might be used, "developmental stages" is the most specific and accurate term to describe these specific age groups.
