Would you like to know about the Social & Personal Development in Infancy? Infancy is the period from birth through the completion of the 12th month of life. Psychosocial development occurs as children form relationships, interact with others, and understand and manage their feelings. During the first two years of life, an infant goes through the first stage: Learning Basic Trust or Mistrust (Hope) . Well-nurtured and loved, the infant develops trust and security and a basic optimism. Badly handled, the infant becomes insecure and learns "basic mistrust." Infancy is a plateau in development - The rapid growth and development which took place during the prenatal period suddenly comes to a stop with birth. The halt in growth and development, characteristic of this plateau is due to the necessity for making radical adjustment to the postnatal environment. Babies learn to focus their vision, reach out, explore, and learn about the things that are around them. Cognitive, or brain development means the learning process of memory, language, thinking, and reasoning.
