Toddler a child was able to develop his cognitive, emotional and social development. [1 to 3 yrs. old] 3. Middle Childhood/Primary School by this stage, the child was able to dress themselves, catch a ball or even tie their own shoes. [3-8 yrs. old] 4. Puberty and Adolescence in this stage, the childs sexual and physical characteristics mature. [10-14 yrs. old] Adolescence is the period between puberty and adulthood. 5.
