How old does each phrase cover?
Hello there,
When I want to explain my experience in my younger ages, I try to use some phrases below.
However, I don't have any idea how old each phrase cover.
Could you give your idea for each?
Also, if you find any wrong wording/have better wording below, could you please correct them/suggest others?
For example (I am not sure if it is correct)
in my infancy: your reply: from zero year old to 3 years old
1. in my childhood
2. during childhood
3. when I was a child
4. during early childhood
5. during mid-childhood
6. during late childhood
7. when I was very young
8. in my infancy
9. when I was a kid
10. during elementary school years
11. during adolescence
12. during teenagers
Thank you.

1. in my childhood (it's vague, but probably 3 - 12 years old)
2. during my childhood (it's vague, but probably 3 - 12 years old)
3. when I was a child (it's vague, but probably 3-12 years old)
4. during early childhood (this phrase isn't very natural, but maybe 3-6 years old)
5. during mid-childhood (this phrase isn't very natural, but maybe 7-9 years old)
6. during late childhood (this phrase isn't very natural, but maybe 10-12 years old)
7. when I was very young (maybe 0-5 years old)
8. in my infancy (0-2 years old)
9. when I was a kid (it's vague, but probably 3-12 years old)
10. during elementary school years (generally 6 - 11 or 12 years old)
11. during adolescence (maybe 11-17 years old)
12. during my teenage years / when I was a teenager (this is pretty precise because the numbers end with "teen": 13-19 years old)

You would say "when I was a child" to let the youth know that the time you are talking about is during your childhood.
You would say "when I was a teenager" to let the youth know that the time you are talking about is during your adolescence, since "adolescence" is a big word for much younger people.
These all appear correct except for #10. In #10, you should specify that they are "your elementary school years."

Jack and Angela, thank you very much. Finally I could understand the nuance for each. Have a wonderful week.
