Childhood: This stage spans from age 2 to 12, during which children continue to grow and develop physically, cognitively, and socially.
Adolescence: This stage spans from age 13 to 19-21, during which teenagers experience rapid physical growth and significant changes in cognitive and social development.
Early adulthood: This stage spans from age 20 to 39, during which young adults continue to develop their identity, establish careers, and form close relationships.
Middle adulthood: This stage spans from age 40 to 59, during which adults experience some physical decline but also gain wisdom and maturity.
