Which of the following does not comes under the major stages of development in children?

• The period from conception to the birth of the child is known as the 'Prenatal period'.
•  In the prenatal stage, the baby develops inside the mother's womb and becomes a mature one by passing through three different stages of prenatal development.
• It has three stages which include:
  • Germinal period: First 2 weeks after conception.
  • Embryonic period: 8 weeks from conception.
  • Fetal Period: 9 weeks until birth or 38 to 40 weeks.

• A rapid rate of development is the characteristic of this stage.
• This period is characterized by one of the tremendous stages of motor development.
• The word motor refers to muscular movements.
• The child begins to gain specific muscle control so as to enable him to do some voluntary movements.
• The child develops control in sitting and walking.
• He develops the ability to reach an object with a hand, and grasp and manipulate it.
• The child learns to communicate both through words and gestures.
• The development of intelligence is also quite fast.

Childhood

• The period of childhood usually occurs during the age of 2 to 12 years which is further divided into early childhood (2-6 years) and later childhood (6-12 years).
• Early childhood:
  • The growth rate during this period is slower and steadier than in infancy.
  • The brain continues to grow rapidly, achieving 90 percent of its full weight.
  • Hand preference (whether left-handed or right-handed) is established during this period.
  • The development of language is fast at this stage.
• Later childhood: 
  • Children learn motor skills like throwing and running.
  • The child's thinking develops rapidly and his/her store of information grows at a fast pace.
  • School-age children develop closer ties with their peers.
  • Children compare their abilities, appearance, and characteristics with those of their peers.

• ​It is considered to be a transitional period between childhood and adulthood.
• During this time, the final height is achieved, internal organs and systems reach adult size and sexual maturity is reached.
• Girls tend to enter adolescence earlier than boys.
• The children develop the ability to think in abstract terms.
• Psychological disturbances are relatively more common during adolescence because of the stress and conflicts that arise during this time.
