Psychical Development of Early Childhood From before birth a child begins its" physical development. Once conceived, a child begins to grow, and mature into a baby. Throughout this paper, I plan on explaining some of the different stages that a child goes through, ways to stimulate a child, and along with ways that hamper a child's physical development I am going do discuss how a child begins to request things through voice and physical actions. During this paper, I am also going to refer to personal experiences that I have seen with my son, Connor. This is hopefully going to give you a real life perspective of what is being presented to you. .
