Understanding How Your Child Is Developing
Children are as unique as snowflakes, each having their own distinct personality. There are certain milestones, however, that most children reach within a specific timeframe. The age when your child smiles at you, says their first word, starts to crawl and masters other tasks can give you and your doctor insights into if they’re reaching these important developmental milestones.
Gross Motor Skills -
Gross motor skills involve the development of muscles that will enable babies to hold their head up, sit, crawl and eventually walk, run, jump and skip.
Fine Motor Skills -
Fine motor skills generally refer to the small movements of the hands, wrists, fingers, feet, toes, lips, and tongue.
Feeding -
Eating is a huge part of our lives. When it does not work as you expect or is a stressful event – tension will inevitably develop.
Speech -
Even though your baby can’t yet answer your questions, it’s still important that you talk to them from the minute they’re born.
Behavior -
Babies develop at their own pace, so use this simply as a guideline of activities you can do with your baby to help him/her develop social and problem-solving skills.
Sensory -
A child with Sensory Processing Disorder will have difficulty processing information from the five senses.
