Children's behavior from 0-5 years old undergoes significant development, as they progress through various stages of cognitive, emotional, and social growth. Here’s a breakdown of key behaviour patterns in this age range:

INFANCY: 0-1 YEAR OLD

A child does feeling of attachment and bonding. 0-1 year a child is known as Infants where he/she form strong bonds with primary caregivers. They may show distress when separated from their caregivers or a mother.

 Parent or caregiver must pay attention to the child because at this stage they can only express their feeling by action.

 Babies develop various behavior which may excite a new mother. That moment she sees the baby start to sense the source of sound, turn their head around, smile, cry and explore their environment, especially by touching, mouthing, and grasping objects.

Around 6 months, babies  may begin to sit, crawl, and grab things. By 12 months, many begin to stand and walk with assistance. one this thing to remember is not to compare your child’s growth speed with others as many parents do. Every child grows and develop at his/her pace, depending on the circumstances. 

Some children are born with deficiency and other are lucky to be born healthy and strong, this may depend on the parents genetic and diet a mother was eating during 9 months of pregnancy.

EARLY CHILDHOOD: 2-3 YEARS OLD

 Toddlers start to socialize with other children and  showing a desire for independence. I remember my daughter when she was 2 years, she wanted to feed herself with hand and attempting do like other older children. 

Vocabulary expands rapidly, and sentences become longer and more complex. Children start to use pronouns and verbs.

PRE-KINDERGARTEN AGE: 4-5 YEARS OLD

Children has psychologically developed to the extent that they can show their preferences  in activities and friendship . They want to be free and emotionally they become better at recognising and naming their own emotion and emotions of others. 

In terms of language, sentences become even more complex as they start to communicate more clearly and express their thought in a more organised way.

By the way it is very important to understand that, not all has been written may happen the same to your child. As we said before, children are varying the way they grow physically, emotionally and mentally. This variation is the outcome of circumstance which a child went through, either before or after being born.
