what happens during early childhood (growth wise)

A

slower growth slimming of body and body fat
more muscle tissue (males)
more fat tissue (females)

A

as young as 3 months
not for irregular shaped objects
recognition that objects maintain their shape although their orientation to us may change

42
Q

infants and size consistency

A

as young as 3 months continues to develop until 10-11
