Definitions and quotes

Childhood
Childhood is the age span ranging from birth to adolescence. According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, childhood consists of two stages: preoperational stage and concrete operational stage. In developmental psychology, childhood is divided up into the developmental stages of toddlerhood (learning to walk), early childhood (play age), middle childhood (school age), and adolescence (puberty through post-puberty). Various childhood factors could affect a person's attitude formation.
Childhood
But still when the mists of doubt prevail,
And we lie becalmed by the shores of age,
We hear from the misty troubled shore
The voice of the children gone before.
Drawing the soul to its anchorage.
Bret Harte, A Greyport Legend, Stanza 6.
Childhood
Perhaps there lives some dreamy boy, untaught
In schools, some graduate of the field or street,
Who shall become a master of the art,
An admiral sailing the high seas of thought
Fearless and first, and steering with his fleet
For lands not yet laid down in any chart.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Possibilities.
Childhood
Wage du zu irren und zu träumen.
Hoher Sinn liegt oft im kind'schen Spiel.
Dare to err and to dream. Deep meaning often lies in childish plays.
Friedrich Schiller, Theklo, Stanza 6.
