The U.S. has many age sets -- from preschoolers through high school, young adults and on to the elderly.

Thank you. I must say
It seems to me that we have many age sets. Starting at birth which moves into toddler and then child each one having their own grouping of tasks and learning objectives. We then find adolescent/teen and then adults (young and middle) which moves into seniors/elders. Which again have their own set of learning and skills needed.

Baby 0-12 months, learn basic feeding and physical skills.

Toddler 13m-3 years, learn some independence continue learning physical skills, start social skills

Child/Kid 4-12 years, start formal education, improve social skills

Teen 12-18 years, continue formal education, start learning workforce skills

Young adult 18-40 years, start higher education/job skills become working member of society, have children

Middle adults 41-60 continue in the workforce and raising children

Seniors 60 - death, enjoy the fruits of having worked for the last 40 years, and possibly grand children.

All based in a perfect world were you don't die before 60 and are not trying to start/finish higher education in your 30s and 40s. :)
