The first six years of life are very valuable because it is the period during which children gain basic knowledge and skills and form the basis of their development (23). In addition, considering that a large part of brain development is completed between the ages of 0-4 years; Stimulants to be presented to the child in the early period and support programs for its development are an important factor in its brain development (24). Therefore, it is very important that parents, educators and all individuals working with the child know about the child’s developmental periods and needs during these developmental periods.

Understanding the principles of human development is a prerequisition for interpreting the building blocks that determine the developmental progress of infants and young children. Maturation in developmental areas is characterized by behavioral determinants or key building blocks. Developmental areas; motor is divided into cognitive, social and emotional and self-care skills.
