Development Milestones
Your child is developing new skills every day. Much of this development spurt continues to be in her language. Suddenly, she may seem to understand everything you say; causing you to become more skilled in spelling words that you may not want her to hear. (Do we have time to stop at the P-A-R-K?)
Most children at this age can:
- Imitate activities – which makes for a lot of fun.
- Express wants by pulling, pointing, or grunting.
- Say 1 to 3 words, as well as mama and dada.
Your child may be ready to:
- Say 3 to 10 words and understand simple commands.
- Point to parts of her body.
- Walk well and climb stairs.
- Recognize herself in a mirror.
- Scribble. (Look out for those walls!)
You can find more information about your child's development on kp.org.
Keep in mind that children develop at different rates. So, if your little one is not doing all of these things just yet, you will likely see them soon. If you are concerned about your child's development, talk to your pediatrician at your next well-check, or send a secure message with your question.
