We understand from the passage that our early childhood, up to age 10, is----.

From birth to age 10, our developmental focus is on
learning how to be human beings - learning to
move, to communicate, to master basic skills.
These often require the mastery of learned social
and cultural conventions, traditions, and rituals,
such as movements associated with various
games, differences in spoken or written languages,
and our culture's definition of good manners. The
initial development is slow and awkward, but
children generally function at a rapid automatic
level by age 10. Adults usually allow young children
to make mistakes. We smile indulgently and offer
support rather than criticism as toddlers trip and as
2-year-olds make language errors. We are there
principally to protect their safety and to applaud
their successes because we realize that toddling
leads to walking and running, and babbling leads to
speaking, reading and writing,
