For the years from both to physical maturity, every child goes through vanous stages of progress - growing, gaining new abilities, and mastenng new skills. The timing of these stages can act as a guide to parents, reassuring them that all is well if the child is 'on schedule', and giving advance warning of possible difficulties if he is not.

Given the night conditions the correct food, parental love and understanding any baby who has no mental or physical disability will develop a normal character and be able to take his place on equal turns with other children.
