Early developmental milestone's

 

What are developmental milestones?

Developmental milestones are the behaviors that mark stages of typical growth. Children all develop at their own pace. However, most children pass through specific changes at approximately the same time as they get older.

Examples of developmental milestones in a baby’s first year of life may include:

• Smiling intentionally.
• Sitting without support.
• Waving goodbye.
• Moving objects from one hand to the other.
• Transitioning from crawling to taking steps.

As they grow older, a child’s developmental milestones may include:

• Knowing names of people or body parts.
• Using sentences with two to four words.

• Repeating familiar songs or poems from memory.
• Telling stories.
