In simplified terms, a life cycle includes a series of events or changes that one goes through from the minute they are conceived till they die. These changes or events are put into sub categories = life stages. Although there are 4 major life stages, a lot of people also emphasise 'fetus' as a life stage as it can impact our growth and development after.

These are the different phases that we all go through. In total, there are 4 life stages which are categories by different age groups. It is important to note that these lifestages are divided into smaller sub stages for example early, middle and late adulthood.
