Which stage learns to speak and gain coordination of limbs and learn to control things?

• A. Infants
• B. Preschoolers
• C. Teens
• D. Toddlers

Answer: (D)

During toddlerhood, children begin to speak in meaningful words and short phrases while rapidly improving both gross and fine motor coordination. They learn to walk, run, climb, and throw, and start to control objects and tools—feeding themselves with a spoon, stacking blocks, and turning pages. This combination of growing language ability and increasing limb control fits the toddler stage, whereas infants focus on basic motor milestones like rolling and crawling, preschoolers on more advanced language and social play, and teens on adolescence.
