Intellectual development involves a child's thinking. Children learn to think by undertaking challenging tasks. Reasoning their way through different tasks helps children learn. Emotional growth involves the development of a child's feelings. A child learns what it feels like to be sad, angry, hurt, confident, excited and happy.
Social development is the way a child learns to work, play and interact with other people.
