ABSTRACT

While some developmental psychologists see child development as a process of discontinuous change, in which children gain skill through a series of leaps interspersed with quiet, incremental changes, others see it as a process of con tinuous change in which child ren become increasingly skilled at what they do. It is noteworthy that several productive steps have been made in further describing child development. This paper aims to discuss the developmental domains of 5 and 6 years old children from developmental p sychology perspective. Hence, it aims to investigate the idea of early childhood development and to outline the ideas, conceptualizations, and important viewpoints on the subject matter. Additionally, this paper presents t he developmental manifestations o f 5 and 6 year olds based on many theories in an effort to educate readers about these ideas and inspire them to learn more about their development. The study highlights the significance of early childhood development as w ell as the general significance of developmental phases and levels for attitudes and functioning in daily life.
