Using Furniture Or Adult For Support

Language Development: Put words together in a sentence and beginning to ask questions (What? Why? How? Who? Where?) can join in well known songs or verses and put actions to words (Row-Row-Row the boat) Could possibly be using several hundred words by 3rd birthday, can scribble and make marks on paper with a crayon.

7-14 years --- By this stage, children have stable friendships, enthusiasm when given areas of responsibility and clear different activities between boys and girls.

From 3 to 7 years the child’s movements will be more coordinated. They will learn to balance when hopping, skipping and playing with balls. The fine pincer grip when holding pens, pant brushes will be more defined.

During this time period the child tends to have a lot of energy so they star to jump around and run, and they also discover new things they can do such as standing on one leg and hopping. From the ages 2-3 they also start t develop the thought of picking up a pencil and doodling. From the ages between the ages of 3-5 they develop the abilities of movement and balance which they learn how to throw and catch a ball and often start to ride a bike/tricycle.

Their development in these first few months revolves around their increased understanding of their surroundings. This leads to their consequent displeasure when removed from a familiar setting. They recognise adults and sounds and now begin to react to a greater degree. They have favourite objects and show happiness around the people they recognise.

Their movement improves going from just leg kicking to rolling over and crawling, exploring their environment, showing an interest in objects and learning to play with soft toys . They will now see people as individuals, recognising different voices and faces, smiling and eager to make themselves heard. Eager to learn and develop attatchment they can show their emotions facial expressions and gestures. The development at this early stage is probably quicker than at any other time in a childs life, The first few years are so important in their progression into adulthood. Between 9 months and 18 months a child will develop an understanding of simple instructions and their vocabulary should begin with a few recognisable and simple words. They move on from crawling to walking and continuing to explore and learn from their surroundings. Their dexteroty increases, being able to scribble and hold onto things more precisely. They become curious and will often concentrate on things for short periods. A child at this age is still very self centered and will have many tantrums when they dont get their own

• Physical Development: Establishes good head control and moves head to follow people/objects. Learns to sit and May begin to crawl and stand. Begins to grasp with thumb and finger from about 6 months and begins to pass objects from one hand to another and put objects into and out of

According to Pathways, at ten to twelve months your baby begins to reach different levels in their motor,sensory, communication and feeding milestones. For example, a baby motor milestones consist of pulling and standing on furniture, accomplishing independent steps, claps hands, and move throughout various environments. Their sensory milestones include listening to songs, responding to sounds or objects by crawling to or away, exploring toys with fingers and mouth. Their communication is using the phrases “mama”or “dada”, paying attention to where the parenting is pointing or looking, responding to “no” phrases, and produce longer strings of gibberish. Normally, a baby is starting to learn how to feed themselves by using their fingers and they develop a peak interest in certain foods, smells, and

1. She should start to walk in a straight line and hop on one foot. She should also be able to climb objects and jump over 5 or 6 inches high. She should also be able to pedal and steer. She will start to run and throw objects. She may even start to reproduce shapes and letters.

Development appears normal until about 6-18 months of age, followed by loss of acquired speech and motor skills, slowing of head growth and development of signature repetitive hand movements. Hand movements may change over time and additional medical needs may arise including seizures,

8 to 12 months the child will begin exploring the world around them and imitating behaviors.

Every child develops at their own pace but there are always certain milestones a child should reach at specific ages. According to a combination of psychological studies, a child up to par, at or around the age of two years, should be able to have enough balance in his or her legs to jump up with both feet leaving the ground. The child can usually make scribbles by holding a writing utensil; but most may not have a preference for a right or left hand yet. The child can usually feed themselves with silverware made for school age children and get most of the food in their mouths. This does not mean that they are a willing eating or neat quite yet. When playing, the child can usually stack blocks about 8-10 blocks high until they fall down.

Also, they are learning how to express their feelings by making facial expressions, sounds or gestures (National Center for infants, toddlers, families, 2010). They are able to play games such as peek-a-boo or hide and seek. And maybe still learning to walk or stand on their own. You may notice they start saying mama or dada and also feed

In the second year they gain more control over their body. They can run, throw, paint scribble with a pencil, climb stairs and kick a ball. They are able to use ride on toys. They can feed themselves and use the cutlery properly. But by the age of three they are more confident in drawing with a pencil because they have more wrist control. They can walk for longer and not use the pushchair as much. They can put their cloths on by themselves. They develop better hand and eye coordination and fine motor skills.

By the end of the sensorimotor stage, infants have developed a sense of object permanency, which is knowing that an object exists even if it cannot be seen (Ciccarelli & White, 2015, p.295). My daughter walked at ten months of age and was also able to do simple shape puzzles at that age as well, but many children develop at different rates. I have a nephew born a few weeks after my daughter and I noticed it took hum more time to reach his milestones.
