In this article, we give the norms of the development of the child for months to a year, through which you can always check whether everything is in order with your child.
Stages of child development up to a year by months
A newborn baby sleeps about 70% of the time. He still can not do anything and calmly lies in his crib even in moments of wakefulness, if not hungry and does not feel discomfort. The baby is adapting to the dramatically changed conditions of his life, as, indeed, the young mother, who gradually begins to get used to the new role.
After the execution of a crumb of one month, he begins to hold his head for several seconds, to focus the eye, first on the faces and silhouettes of adults, and then on his own toys, to catch noise and make certain sounds.
By the time the child reaches two months, he is much more confidently holding his head, and also begins to distinguish the emotional state of the mother. Almost all the two-month-old children periodically "walk", smile and watch the look of the subject they are interested in.
A three-month-old baby holds the head well, and in the position on the abdomen starts leaning on the elbows. He pointedly pulls the pen to the objects of interest and tries to grab them. Many of the youngsters turn themselves from the back to the side.
At 4 months the child rests on straight arms, lying on his stomach. Most of the kids already without the help of the parents turn over from the back to the abdomen and raise the upper body, depicting the first attempts to sit down. Often babies are already starting to crawl on their stomachs, lying on the rug. The baby shows more and more emotions - in moments of joy he smiles widely, laughs loudly and even sometimes screams with delight.
5 months is one of the brightest jumps in the development of a child up to a year. He can move in the direction of interest to him by means of a kind of "jumps", turn from back to belly in both directions, and also makes his first attempts to sit on his own. A five-month-old baby can easily frighten strangers.
At 6 months, almost all children are sitting without support, but few can sit down alone. Most kids are already on all fours and actively play with toys, shifting them from one hand to the other. Many children have their first babble syllables.
Seven-month-old children can not lie still in one place. They easily turn in all directions, crawl back and forth and confidently sit without support. A lot of new elements appear in the speech.
At 8 months old the child is able to sit on his own, stand up, hold on to the support, and walk along it with stepping steps. He has the first, though not realized, words, like "mom", "dad" and "give". The kid can perform purposeful actions, for example, to put on rings on a rod of a pyramid.
Throughout the life of the child in his life, crises will repeatedly occur, when it will become much harder to manage with a crumb. One of such crises of development of children up to a year occurs about 9 months. At this time, the child is trying to take the first steps, but it turns out he is quite bad, so he is constantly nervous and crying. With the help of negative emotions, he tries to manipulate adults, and parents often go on about him.
In 10 months, my mother becomes a little easier - the baby is able to play independently for some time. In addition, the crumb gets acquainted with the concept of "impossible" and realizes that it is his parents who forbid him.
At 11 months, all children are able to move, although most of them do it, holding on to the support. In his speech there are many conscious words, he understands simple requests. Often in the mimicry of crumbs there is an index gesture, as well as a nod of the head.
Finally, one-year-old children in the overwhelming majority of cases are able to move without support and in many ways show independence. So, a year a child is able to eat without the help of adults, although it does it very sloppy.
