3 to 6 Months
Sensory Development: Infants gain the per from 3 months of age associated with seeing and hearing. They begin to act to stimuli.
Motor Skills: Head lifting and rolling over are the first or the gross motor skills that are developed. -
Birth to 3 Months
Brain Growth: At birth, the brain is as heavy as 25% of its weight of an adult human while it grows to 50 % of the adult weight at three months.
Neural Connections: Stimulated synaptogenesis commences with greater speed at synapses that are produced at a faster rate. Neural formation of the basic structures begin and the head and limb buds are well formed. -
6 to 9 Months
Language Development: The brain begins to sort out the sounds and the period of cooing takes place. The vocalisation and phonological development also begins during this period, but yet more important is the development of Receptive language.
Cognitive Skills: The first relations are established with objects and knowledge of objects appear (causality). -
9 to 12 Months
Social Interaction: In terms of more interaction with peers, as well as with close ones, such as caregivers.
Fine Motor Skills: Learning to ‘pick up’ objects with both hands due to the forming of the pincer grasp. -
12 to 18 Months
Language Explosion: There is still language development, and first words usually come in at this stage.
Problem Solving: toddlers/ preschool age children are able to solve simple problems (For instance find out how to get a toy out of a box). -
18 to 24 Months
Rapid Brain Development: The human brain grows to be approximately 80% of its adult size. Neural connections are now extensive and continue to remain dense.
Independent Play: Children at this age implement more independent play and look around the surroundings.
