Ushi No Tane - Harvest Moon

How long do the stages last? Because my son is at the toddler stage and I was wondering.

Your child will grow into 2 more stages; a kid (9-years old) and a teenager (about 15 years old). Each stage change will take 2 years (240 days) to complete. When your child reaches the last stage it will stop growing. No matter how old your son (or daughter) is the child will never help you with any of the farm work. The child also does not ever marry any of the other residents in the valley.

Thanks, so I have to wait 2 mor years for my toddler to become a kid? Ok...

The challenge is making it through those 2 years. >_<
And then the next 2 years, I hope you have plenty to do.
