During infancy (0-2), individuals experience rapid growth and development. This is the stage where they first develop their gross motor skills, such as crawling, sitting, standing, and eventually walking. Infants gradually gain control over their muscles and learn to coordinate their movements, which is crucial for their physical development. Therefore, it is expected that gross motor skills are first developed during this early stage of life.

Chess is most important for intellectual development because it requires critical thinking, problem-solving, strategic planning, and concentration. Playing chess helps to improve cognitive skills, memory, and decision-making abilities. It enhances logical reasoning, analytical thinking, and creativity.

A couple and their dependent children, on average two children, form a nuclear family. The term "nuclear" refers to the core or fundamental unit, indicating that this family structure consists of the parents and their children. It is considered a basic social unit as it is a common and widely recognized family arrangement in many societies. The nuclear family typically operates as a self-contained unit, with the parents being the primary caregivers and responsible for the upbringing and support of their children.
