AAFCS Human Development and Family Science (HDFS) 202 Practice Test

In Havinghurst's framework, infancy and early childhood cover birth through about five years old. This is the period when children focus on foundational skills and routines that set the stage for later development: basic motor and language skills, early self-care, and forming primary social relationships with caregivers. Mastery of these early tasks allows progression into later stages, such as school-age years (roughly six to twelve), adolescence (roughly thirteen to eighteen), and young adulthood (roughly nineteen to twenty-nine).
