muscles, tendons, and joints, not sight of the limb guide reaching by four

Sensations occur when information interacts with sensory receptorsthe eyes, ears, tongue, nostrils, and skin. Perception is the interpretation of
what is sensed. Language forms through phonology, morphology, syntax,
semantics, and pragmatics. Babies begin by crying, cooing, babbling,
imitation, gestures, and then their first words.
Milestones are a great way to track developmental growth.
Developmental screening is done by your doctor/nurse, other healthcare
professionals, and community or school settings. Wellness child check-ups
are used to monitor your childs health and development through certain
developmental periods. Many children with developmental delays are not
being identified as early as possible. As a result, these children must wait to
get the help they need to do well in social and educational settings. Research
shows that early intervention treatment services can greatly improve a
childs development. Early intervention services help children from birth
through 3 years of age (36 months) learn important skills. Services include
therapy to help the child talk, walk, and interact with others.
The attention/love that we give infants/toddlers greatly impacts their
development by providing the basic needs in life. With basic needs met in life
then they can grow developmentally, because they have a safe, secure,
loving relationship established. When you give them attention and watch
them grow from a developmental stand point you will be able to notice and
track milestones to make sure they are following within reason to
developmental domains.
