Child Development Milestones
Developmental Milestones:
How I Grow In Your Care
The first three years of life are a time of amazing learning for young children and for the people who care for them every day. In these years, most children develop new skills in a predictable order -- they crawl before they walk and they point before they use words to tell you what they want.But every child is unique.Every child develops at his own pace and reacts to people and the world in his own way.
Every child has his own style of communicating with you.
That's why ZERO TO THREE designed the following three charts to speak to you the parent or caregiver in the child's voice. They are designed to help you see at a glance the steps involved in a child's learning during the earliest months and years of life.
Birth- 8 Months: Young Infants
8 to 18 Months: Explorers
18 Months to 3 Years: Toddlers and Two-Year Olds
It is important to remember that every child develops in his own style and at his own pace. However, if you are concerned about your child's development and would like to speak to someone, please review Concerns about Child Development.
