Childhood takes place between ages 1 to 10. The first two years of childhood, the child is called a toddler. During this time, the child learns how to walk, talk and be more self-sufficient. These skills continue to expand during the remainder of childhood, and socialization takes place. Childhood is the building blocks upon which adolescence and, later, adulthood will be built, and the child is susceptible during this time to learned habits and behaviors.
