Observation of 10 Month Baby

Babies will start to lift and turn their heads, using their arms to support their upper body when lying on their stomach.

The age of nine months to a year, the infants can do a lot of things without help. They can sit up by themselves. Infants can stand up without the assistance of an adult. They can decide which toys to pick up and they can pick up the objects they would like to entertain themselves with. Infants can also sit unaided as well, they have built enough support for their neck to support their head weight

The expected pattern starts at 0-3 years where a child is expected to develop the most. They have little control over their bodies at 0-1 years and are dependent on their natural instincts e.g. sucking, grasping but when the child has more control over their body they will start to crawl and eventually progress to walking. By the age of 3 as well as

Today is my first day doing my practice observation in the Infant Room Classroom Number 3, my fears are how the infants go reaction to see me because I am new person for them that they never have seen before, how the teacher go feel to have a student in the classroom, if they will support me and cooperate with practice, and how the parents will response to see a new teacher in the classroom, I know for my teaching experience that parents are very special about the people who is round to their children.

From 9 months – 3 years babies will learn to walk, run, jump and hop using their gross motor skills. They have more control over their movements allowing them to point, hold small objects using the fine pincer grasp and gain more independence in toilet training.

At around THE AGE OF 3 months time baby Michael will be able to sit supported by their carers. This develops up to the age of 6 months the where the infant will be able to sit unsupported for a few minutes, turn their head and roll over. At about 9 months the infant will be able to sit for about 10 minutes, and roll and crawl around. At the age of 1, Michael will be to sit unsupported and go to a sitting position by himself. He will also be able to crawl

|6 – 9 months |At 6 months babies may be able to balance on the front of their bodies, sit-up and move slightly more |

Starting to enjoy pretend play, taking an empty cup and drinking from it or giving a teddy a hug

0-3 years | Babies are born with little control over their bodies but by 12 months they will have developed some

At 6-9 months a baby will be beginning to move their body in different positions this could be because they might not like staying in one place for too long.

|Physical |At 24months children can now run safely avoiding obstacles and are very mobile, this has developed from the unsteady first tentative steps taken at around 12 months. | |

By 1 year they could be sitting alone without support, reach out for toys and could also be mobile through crawling or shuffling. By this age a child will have started to show hand preference, can click two cubes together and will place the cubes in a box when shown how to. At 18 months a child may be able to walk alone, will push and pull toys when walking and are able to kick, roll and throw a ball. Some children are capable of using a spoon, turn a handle of a door and pull off their shoes.

Throughout the first year of life, babies will undergo rapid social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Motor control develops from the head, moves down through the arms and then to the legs and feet. Initial movements are reflexive in nature, such as turning the head to the side when the cheek is stroked, which aids in feeding. Babies will start to turn their heads from side to side when lying on the back or belly,this will happen around one month. At three

Babies at this stage are able to crawl, sit without much support and therefore becoming

For instance, half of all children can sit unsupported by the age of 6 months, while the majority, (90%) can take up to 7 ½ months. What this means is that for accurate data we would need to observe theses children multiple times to see the growth they are making.
