1.1 Social Aspects
Explanation in Own Words:
Children develop social and communication skills through interactions with family and
friends. This early social contact helps them learn how to form friendships and manage
relationships.
The family unit provides essential support and security for children, helping them feel
safe and understood within their social environment.
Through interactions within their community, children learn the social values and
behavioral guidelines that enable them to understand and act according to the social
rules of their group, fostering a sense of belonging and identity.

1.2 Cognitive Aspects
Explanation in Own Words:
Cognitive development involves the brain's processes of attention, comprehension,
memory, problem-solving, and decision-making, which are critical for learning and
understanding the world.
Cognitive abilities are influenced by both inherited traits (nature) and environmental
factors (nurture). This means a child's cognitive growth is shaped by their genetic
makeup and their experiences and surroundings.
, Each child has a unique way of thinking and solving problems, which is influenced by
their individual abilities and circumstances. This individuality means that cognitive
development will vary from child to child.

3 Moral Aspects
Explanation in Own Words:
Moral development involves children learning and internalizing the values and norms of
their community, which guide their understanding of right and wrong.
As children grow, they develop an internal value system that helps them make mature
behavioral choices and live according to the accepted values of their community.
Children also need to learn to respect the values and norms of other communities, even
when they differ from their own. This respect for diversity is crucial for functioning
effectively in a multicultural society.
