Physical 0-3 In this developmental stage, a new born baby is helpless, they cannot control their movements. By 3 months, a baby can hold their head up, hold certain objects and has established eye contact. By 6 months, the baby can roll over from their stomach and has an increase of visual sense. By the time the baby is 1 years old, they can sit unsupported, crawl and can hold a bottle by themself. They also start to develop good balance which will help them in the process of walking and standing.
Communication and Intellectual development starts from the moment a baby is born. In cases where a baby has been neglected from this early stage it is found that they will experience difficulties in effective communication later in life. Babies enjoy listening to songs and games and most sill start to speak by around 12 months old. Between the ages of 1-2 they will be able to form short sentences and by the age of 2 will have a vocabulary of around 200 words. By the age of 3 a child will be using negatives and plurals in their speech and vocabulary will increase rapidly.
It is impotant that kittens have lots to play with to help with this. 3 months -6 months - They will start to show dominance and submission behaviours within their household family. 6- 18 months - Kittens will go through an adolescence period, and they will increase their use of dominant behaviours. They will also start to show sexual behaviour if they are left un-neutered. Feeding - It is important that kittens are kept on the food they are intrudced by when young, their tummies get used to this.
Language development: • A six month old baby will be able to make a variety of happy sounds. • will respond to music and singing • will mirror their parent’s movements and expressions. 6 TO 12 MONTHS BABY Physical development: • The toddler will have learnt to sit first with support, and then without. • will be able to roll over • he will begin to crawl or shuffle • he will be able to stand with support • he will raise his arms when he wants to be lifted • he will respond to his name • he will pass objects from hand to hand • Look for things that have been hidden and reach for food.

Allowing for the newborn to have many interactions with both their parents and other newborns will start the development of their social and emotional skills. When it comes to physical development, babies quickly develop muscle tone and by three months, most can raise their head when lying on their stomach and can open their hands and suck on their fingers (Spock, 2001, p.102). Their eyes can track a moving object and they are beginning to recognize faces. By seven months, an infant will reach for an object, sit up, roll over, babble and begin to show an interest in a mirror image. By their first
For example, at birth typically a child’s vision is 20/600 and will not reach 20/20 until age two. They can usually focus on objects or people that are up to 4 to 30 inches away and can following a moving finger. Newborns also prefer colored stimuli compared to gray ones, but do not develop full perception of color until they are about four months old (Morrongiello et al., 1998). Newborns have reflexes as their sole physical ability. A reflex is an automatic body response to a stimulus that is involuntary; that is, the person has no control over this response.
I liked the fact that it tells/ teaches you how to hold newborns, breastfeeding tip and strategies you can do with them at this stage. While going through the others stages, I noticed that each stage increases the skill they learned earlier and adds to new ones. For an example from 2 months to 6 months only movement was added but their previous skills have improved. From 6-12 months is when he or she is learning to have feelings and learn through repetition. Parents seem to start to be concern with their toddler’s development around 18-24 months.
We will examine the affects of family, parenting and education on the development of child. The sight of a newborn child, it can illicit strong emotions and much worry. A newborn baby is fragile and has few of the physical abilities we associate with “normal” human composition. Its head is large in proportion to its body and it tends to flop about uncontrollably. With the exception of some basic reflexes and the ability to cry, the newborn is unable to perform many things that leave it vulnerable, in essence leaving it completely helpless and at the mercy of its caregiver (Santrock, 2004).
By one month, a baby can turns its head from side to side when lying on the back or belly, and can move its hands and arms. At 3 months old the child should be able to kick its legs when lying on the belly or back. At the age of 6months old the child should be able to reach for a toy, move arms to indicate he/she wants to be lifted and can move a toy from one hand to another. 6 to 12 Months At 6 months of age, the average baby can begin to sit without support, reach for a toy, and move a toy from one hand to another and put objects into mouth. At 7-8 months of age a child should begin to stand with some support.
