[13] It is essential to integrate physical training designed in accordance with the anatomical characteristics andage-related characteristics of a child's development, to ensure the normal physical development of ...
Early childhood typically ranges from infancy to the age of 6 years old. During this period, development is significant, as many of life's milestones happen during this time period such as first words, learning to crawl, and learning to walk.

Despite this evidence, some studies have showed that adults who were believed to be resilient after facing trauma in their childhood also reported high levels of anxiety and depression; those deemed resilient can fall apart at any time if a certain vulnerability is triggered. [4] Some people are more apt to cope with stressful events than others.
Within this study, a sample of 1,386 children between the ages of 3 and 7 years old were studied. Self-regulation is known as an individual functioning that leads to future life successes or goals. Areas that played a role in these children's trajectories were their gender, the language they spoke, and even their mother's education.

Children who have experienced neglect are more likely to have attention deficits and poorer academic achievements. [21] Further, neglect in early childhood can result in a rise in stress levels in the child ...
Trauma affects all children differently (see stress in early childhood). Some children who experience trauma develop significant and long-lasting problems, while others may have minimal symptoms and recover more quickly.

Early intervention for disorganized attachment, or other problematic styles, is directed toward changing the trajectory of development to provide a better outcome later in life. Zeanah and colleagues proposed an alternative set of criteria (see below) of three categories of attachment disorder, namely "no discriminated attachment figure ...
Early childhood intervention came about as a natural progression from special education for children with disabilities (Guralnick, 1997). Many early childhood intervention support services began as research units in universities (for example, Syracuse University in the United States and Macquarie University in Australia) while others were developed out of organizations helping older children.
