Welcome to Beaux-Arts Creative University’s free ECD course. In this first lesson we’ll walk you through the physical development of a child from the age of two to six.
In this phase, the physical development starts slowing down to a certain extent (compared to infancy) and the various body parts develop proportionally. We also look at factors that could influence physical development such as heredity, hormones, nutrition, and emotional stress.
