Being a parent is very difficult and one of the first lessons you learn is that children can develop at seriously different rates. The best example of this is walking. One child might walk already when eight months old. Another might not walk until the age of 2.
Regardless of the age of a child, children always tend to grow much faster than we expect. They learn faster than we can imagine and grow exponentially, especially during their first years. At the same time, mental and physical changes happen right from birth, moving towards late childhood and even adolescence. As time passes though, changes happen less rapidly.
The Early Childhood Development Stages And Beyond infographic presented here takes parents through a journey of knowledge. This includes several sections and a lot of very useful information. You will be able to learn about the traditional developmental milestones of a child. These are:
- 4 to 5 months
- 6 to 7 months
- 8 to 9 months
- 10 to 11 months
- 1 year to 1 year and 1 month
- 1 year and 2 months to 1 year and 3 months
- 1 year and 4 months to 1 year and 5 months
- 1 year and 6 months to 1 year and 7 months
- 1 year and 8 months to 1 year and 9 months
- 2 years to 2 years and 3 months
- 2 years and 8 months to 2 years and 11 months
- 3 years to 3 years and 5 months
- 4 years to 4 years and 5 months
- 4 years and 6 months to 4 years and 11 months
- 5 years to 5 years and 5 months
- 5 years and 6 months to 5 years and 11 months
- 6 years to 6 years and 5 months
- 6 years and 6 months to 6 years and 11 months
- 7 years to 7 years and 11 months
- 8 years to 8 years and 11 months
- 9 years to 9 years and 11 months
- 10 years to 10 years and 11 months
- 11 years to 12 years and 11 months
- 13 years to 16 years and 11 months
- 17 years to 21 years and 11 months
The infographic tells you the most important things to expect during all these developmental stages. Then, you start to learn about the DP-4 developmental chart. This explains things like physical changes, adaptive behavior, social-emotional changes, cognitive changes and how the child learns to communicate.
Obviously, all this information would be useless without the data needed to properly assess childhood development, which is why this is also included in the infographic. A development profile is presented and you can use it for assessment purposes.
Make sure that you save the infographic that is presented here. It contains much more information than you can memorize in one go. Refer to it whenever you do not remember something or when you want to learn some more. You can even print it and use it as the child grows since it is a perfect reminder about what to expect from the little one.
