Today, thanks to intense research activity, knowledge about child psychology has significantly increased. However, it is necessary for this knowledge not to remain at the level of theoretical discussion among experts, but to be transferred to everyone who has a relationship with children, and at the same time to be transformed into effective action programs. That is why this book is addressed to all those who are truly interested in getting to know the young child and "accompanying" them on the difficult journey of development and formation of their personality.

The book attempts a detailed, specialized presentation of human development from conception and birth to entry into elementary school. The simple and understandable language, the completeness of the topics, the vivid examples, and the rich photographic material provide readers with all the necessary knowledge about the development of the child during the first six critical years of their life, so that they can understand the processes and promote the necessary developmental changes. Only through their active involvement in the process of child development can parents and kindergarten teachers provide the appropriate support and assistance that developing individuals need for their own well-being and that of society.
