Introduction

Developmental change is a basic fact of human existence, and each person is developmentally unique. Although there are universally accepted assumptions or principles of human development, no two children are alike. Children differ in physical, cognitive, social, and emotional growth to be happy and energetic all the time while other children may not seem as pleasant in personality. Some children are active while others are typically quiet. You may even find that some children are easier to manage and like than others. Having an understanding of the sequence of development prepares us to help and give attention to all of these children.

The first five years of life are a time of incredible growth and learning. An understanding of the rapid changes in a child's developmental status prepares parents and caregivers to give active and purposeful attention to the preschool years and to guide and promote early learning that will serve as the foundation for later learning.

As a global public health recommendation, infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life to achieve optimal growth, development and health.

Thereafter, to meet their evolving nutritional requirements, infants should receive adequate nutritionally and safe complementary foods while breastfeeding continues for up to two years of age or beyond. They also differ in the ways they interact with and respond to their environment as well as play, affection, and other factors. Some children may appear.

Breastfeeding provides an infant with essential calories, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients for optimal growth, health, and development. Breastfeeding is beneficial to both a mother and her infant and also offers an important opportunity for the pair to bond. In addition, child playing and communication are critical for their mental, physically and psychological development. So in this study session, you will learn about recommendations of breastfeeding in a different category of the age group and playing and communication of children.
