In the fetal stage, the child feels the baby's first movements. In the newborn stage, the child recognizes the physical development of the baby. In the toddler stage, the child describes her desire to enter school and sport activities. In the school-age stage, the child acknowledges that her older sibling is exposed to advanced learning and social interaction. In the adolescent stage, the child watches her older sister prepare for college. In addition, the child also makes numerous observations of her parent's responsibilities, activities, and hobbies. She understands the vital and integral roles that mom and dad have within the family structure.
