manipulate toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, 
tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, 
friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn basic 
academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal
