Childhood is the age span ranging from birth to adolescence.
Childhood consists of two stages: preoperational stage and
concrete operational stage. In developmental psychology,
childhood is divided up into the developmental stages of
toddlerhood (learning to walk), early childhood (play age),
middle childhood (school age), and adolescence (puberty through
post-puberty). Various childhood factors could affect a person's
attitude formation. This is the time for children to be in
school and at play, to grow strong and confident with the love
and encouragement of their family and an extended community of
caring adults. In this age children live free from fear, safe
from violence and protected from abuse and exploitation. As
such, childhood means much more than just the space between
birth and the attainment of adulthood. It refers to the state
and condition of a child’s life, to the quality of those years.
