✓

Answer

Infancy ranges from two weeks after birth to two years. The characteristics of infancy are as follows:
  • It is a foundation age because many behavioural patterns, attitudes, and emotions develop during this age.
  • There is rapid growth and many changes during this stage. These changes are qualitative as well as quantitative.
  • Infancy is an age of independence due to control of body movements. It enables an infant to sit, stand and walk, and manipulate objects around him.
  • Due to developed interests and abilities, infancy is the age of increased individuality.
  • It is the beginning of socialization since the infant goes from being asocial to social.
