Is childhood the golden period of human life? Explain with reference to different aspects of Growth and Development.

As an infant, a child bonds with another human being. That initial relationship, if secure, allows the child to gradually add more people to his world. If chaos, moves, transitions and other disturbances prevent that initial bond, it is very difficult to create close bonds with others later in life. Similarly, as the child moves and interacts in a healthy environment, the brain develops, creating a functional sensory system. Although recent brain research teaches us that the brain can grow and change throughout life, it is in the early years that some of the foundations for later growth are laid. While brain wiring, if missed in childhood, can still occur in later years, it is often significantly more laborious.
