摘　　要：The various aspects of a child's development(physical,psychological,emotional,relational,cognitive,linguistic,perceptive,and motor),as well as the child's needs and attitudes,are key throughout his/her life and have been studied over the years by various researchers.We will examine the similarities and differences observed in the education and stimulation of children in two cultural contexts:on the Portuguese mainland(Lisbon,Almada,Santar,Almeirim,and Portalegre regions)and Azorean islands(Sao Miguel,Pico,and Terceira).Our research focussed on children's,upbringing and development in the following areas:food and hygiene;cognitive and linguistic development;perceptual and motor development;emotional and relational development;sleep;and play and childcare practices.We identify several aspects that contribute to children's positive physical and psychological development in the first two years of life,both on the mainland and in the Azores,examining aspects,such as sensory stimulation,sleep,types of play,and toys.
