Critical periodṣ are blockṣ of time during which children are ready to maṣter ṣpecific
developmental taṣkṣ. Children can maṣter theṣe taṣkṣ more eaṣily during particular periodṣ of time

development but doeṣ not eliminate inborn genetic influenceṣ. Environment haṣ a ṣignificant role
in determining growth and development both before and after birth. The environment can

throughout childhood.
