Child Development Hub
To help myself and other writers, the summarized information is intended to guide us as we create characters and their traits, dialogue that sounds authentic, and story arcs or concepts that resonate at different developmental stages.
On this site, companion pages cover cognitive development (Piaget), speech and language milestones, moral development (Kohlberg), and preschool play. Use them together as a writer’s desk reference and a source of inspiration.
