Prenatal Development

From conception until birth, the womb is the developing fetus's home, relying on the mother to maintain her health and the womb's environment. The mother’s well-being significantly impacts the child's development, making it essential for expectant mothers to consult healthcare professionals throughout pregnancy. The baby undergoes both physical and cognitive development; the rapidly growing brain is influenced by the womb’s conditions. Maternal stress can negatively affect this development, with consequences that can extend from birth into adolescence (Tung et al., 2023).

Early Childhood

A newborn's experiences with caregivers, family, peers, and their environment significantly influence their social and emotional development as they grow. The bond between the newborn and mother establishes a foundation for this growth, while factors such as the home environment and family socioeconomic status also play essential roles (Honig & Wittmer, 2017).
