development of child 0-3 years.
Development timeline of a child from 0-19 years
This timeline is correct and includes all the main stages every child will go through and the milestones they will meet, although they may meet these stages at different rates then others because every child is an individual and develops at their own rates.
Development for ages 0-3 years.
Physical Development :
There is a recognised pattern of physical development that children are expected to follow. From birth a child is born with reflexes which are involuntary movements from a specific stimulus such as : the rooting reflex – the newborn will move its head towards anything that strokes its cheek or mouth, sucking reflex – this causes the newborn to suck anything that touches the root of their mouth, walking reflex – when the soles of their feet touch a flat surface they will attempt to walk by placing one foot infront of the other and the moro reflex – the trigger of this reflex can be a loud noise which startles the baby and their arms and legs stretch outwards. All these reflexes will eventually disappear once the baby has further control over their actions.
By 6 months a baby will :
-Turn their head towards sounds and movements.
-Watch an adults face when feeding.
-Smile at familiar faces and voices.
-Reach up to hold feet when lying on their backs
-Look and reach for objects.
-Hold and shake a rattle.
-Put everything in their mouths.
Between 6 months and 1 year :
-Move from sitting with support to sit alone.
-Roll over from their tummy to their back.
-Begin to crawl or shuffle on their bottom.
-Pull or push against adults hands or furniture to reach a standing position.
-Raise arms to be lifted.
-Turn and look up when they hear their name.
-Pat and poke objects when they are playing.
-Pass objects from hand to hand.
-Look for things that have been hidden or dropped.
-Reaches hand towards sources of food.
