Almost all cultures take some notice of the child's entering a new phase of life at 6 or 7 years of age. Although there are no general stages that are unique wholes, age 6 or 7 marks a shift in important processes of development. The fact that formal education is begun at this time in so many different cultures indicates widespread perception of such a shift.
